"Our deepest fear is not that we are weak. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world ... As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
 

 

Sanctuary Retreats Hawaii was born as a vision for the divine feminine rising in our world, as a consciousness, as an archetype, and also embodied in the form of real women. We wanted to create a space where women are safe to feel the truth on their hearts, put down their masks and their tasks, and discover what truly matters to them in their lives. For thousands of years, women have lived to survive in a man’s world. We've come a long way in the name of justice and equality. The women of today don’t just want to survive, we want to thrive— and to thrive takes living our lives on fire with purpose. Sanctuary Retreats is a safe, nurturing and inspiring place where you can breathe new life into your soul’s fire, discover it for the first time, or catalyze it into a blazing beacon of light for yourself and your community that you in turn will inspire to live authentically.

“Behind every great woman... is another great woman.” ― Kate Hodges

“I have chosen to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and my femininity. And I want to be respected in all of my femaleness because I deserve to be.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "We Should All Be Feminists"

“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”
Gloria Steinem

We are on a mission, but we don’t have an agenda. We don’t dispel dogma or recruit followers. You will be embraced as a part of our family, a network of sisters that spans the continent and connects us all through love and empathic understanding. We only want you to be true to you, to accept and let go of whatever burdens you and to walk with the courage to be vulnerable and fierce. We are here as guides, facilitators and friends towards that end. We know that inner work is never ending and the destination is only the horizon line that moves wherever you go. We are more alike than we are different in many ways. We all want to be joyful and free, to have love and peace. Yet each of us has our own path to discovering these places within. We would be honored to walk some portion of that path with you and send you off smiling and ready for miracles. You are a powerful goddess of infinite potential just waiting to be realized. So what are you waiting for?

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
