RETREATS & EVENTS
The Earthsong eco-retreat has been a secluded sanctuary on the island of Hawai’i for over 30 years hosting a variety of retreats, trainings, and special events. It is known for offering an intimate and immersive experience in nature which serves as an ideal setting for those yearning for deep communion with the earth.
A retreat far from the hustle and bustle, this is a place for your inner child to roam free in the Earthsong forest.
Experience the simple magnificence of nature. It’s both tranquil and peaceful while also stimulating and inspiring.
What makes Hawai’i so special? That question can be answered in a multitude of ways but one thing is for sure, people have come from all around the world to visit what many consider paradise on earth.
What does paradise mean to you? To us, paradise is…
The warmth of the sun on our skin and the softness of the earth under our feet when we walk down the “Earthsong boulevard”.
Daily discoveries of beauty to behold in all that grows and blossoms here.
Nature’s medicine dripping off of the trees in our organic food forest.
Gardens for us to nourish and be nourished by.
Simple and sacred spaces weaved into the jungle.
Being surrounded by the vast beauty of the ocean – literally! There’s nothing but the Pacific Ocean at the end of our road.
Visiting various nearby beaches, whole days spent playing in her waves.
Sharing meals, laughter, wisdom, healing, and presence.
Sleeping to the sounds of the forest, all it’s creatures lulling us into deep rest.
Earthsong welcomes people from all ethnic, racial, social, and spiritual backgrounds to join and host retreats, events, and trainings on this sacred land.
In addition to group retreats we offer personally tailored private retreats for individuals, couples, and friends.
Earthsong has capacity for up to 15 guests. Our accommodations and venue include:
Hale Jungle: A 650 square foot two bedroom stand alone cabin with a full fridge, full propane range oven, kitchen sink, and enclosed 3 piece bathroom with septic tank fush toilet, and outdoor shower. Situated at the front of the property with an old growth Mango tree, mature avocado tree, lilikoi vines, bananas, and malabar chestnut. Also, a front porch lanai perfect to sit back and relax.
Sleeps 4 with 2 pairs who can share a bed or 2 with each having their own bed.
This cabin is solar powered and has Wi-Fi.
Hale Mandala: A quaint 10-sided one bedroom cabin featuring a built-in king sized bed, with attached lanai, outdoor shower, and outdoor covered 2 piece bathroom with cesspool
flush toilet. The cabin has a two burner propane cooktop and a medium
sized efficiency fridge with freezer. The open living room shares the kitchen space and
features a two-person table and chairs, full futon pullout couch.
Nestled into a fragrant plumeria forest and surrounded by fruit trees (Rollinia,
Avocado, Papaya, Lilikoi), this cabin has been a guest favorite for privacy and
comfort. There is a pathway that leads to a stone Watsu pool.
Sleeps 2 who can share a bed or 1 in the bed and 1 on the futon.
This cabin is solar powered and has Wi-Fi.
Sol: Upstairs from the kitchen is a spacious room featuring a king size bed with a built-in desk perfect for writing with wind powered lights and outlets. The desk looks out over the farm and south point ocean view. There is a small covered lanai outside the door, and is just a few steps away from the flush toilet bathroom.
Sleeps 2 who can share a bed.
Shakti: Nestled up a pathway on the other side of the stone pond above a row of palm trees.
Features a ground floor double bed. A second single bed is located in the loft above, with a window leading out to a small deck overlooking the farm and south point ocean view.
Sleeps 2 people.
Shiva: Up a few steps from the green tara room with wrap around windows overlooking the farm. Features a queen sized bed with small closet, and a walk-in mud-room and second twin bed.
Sleeps 2 people.
Treehouse: The treehouse is nestled into a sweet spot at the back of the property on the farm. A wrap-around covered deck features a million dollar view of the south point and ocean.
Surrounded by old growth iron wood trees and backed up to a mac-nut orchard.
The structure is built up on ancient Ohia wood posts and features a bathhouse on the ground floor with solar heated shower and wood fired tub. A double sized bed in the small second story bedroom, leads to a third story loft with another twin bed and lookout window to the south point. There are 2 compost toilets next to the treehouse.
Sleeps 2 people.
The treehouse is solar powered and does not have Wi-Fi.
Meditation Nook: This little room with a BIG view is situated above the temple with large windows and a small deck overlooking the view of the ocean and garden. It offers a simple twin mattress for lounging and sleeping and is solar powered with two outlets. There’s enough room to stand but we prefer to spend time in this space sitting in meditation or curled up with a journal writing while taking in the inspiring view.
Sleeps 1
Yoga Shala / Healing Temple: The Yoga studio is a beautifully constructed octagon structure with acacia floors in the middle of the farm situated on the high side of the property. The wrap around deck overlooks the farm and faces the south point with ocean view. Above the hallway is another small room that is used as a private meditation nook, with an ocean view.
We provide sound healing instruments including gongs and singing bowls, as well as yoga mats, blocks, straps and bolsters.
The shala can fit up to 10 people on yoga mats for asana, with spots for a few more if for seated practice/satsang/lecture/ceremony/meditation.
The wrap around deck and outside open garden that is mostly flat is a great place to hold classes/events under the sun or stars and can accomodate more people.
In front of the shala are many fruit trees, veggies, and herbs growing as well as a large fire pit built by an iron stone mason perfect for fire ceremonies and gatherings.
Yellow Submarine Kitchen: The Yellow Submarine kitchen's story is magical, of course! Upon diving deep into the many treasures hidden at EarthSong, the stewards discovered many artifacts of The Beatles which inspired them to honor their legacy when remodeling the communal kitchen. They displayed the artifacts and invited an artist to paint the walls with lyrics from the song "The Yellow Submarine" that invoke warmth and peace which is perfect for such a cozy space to hold many meals and gatherings! The mural includes koi fish and lotus flowers to match the beautiful pond which can be seen from the kitchen's lounge. The entire space is decorated with art collected in India, further adding to the nod to the Beatles who were heavily influenced by their journeys east. There's space for cooking, dining, and lounging while enjoying a snack, reading a book, sipping a hot beverage, playing an instrument, having an enlightening conversation, or simply being with the art and the sounds and sights of the surrounding EarthSong forest just outside the window.

Meal Plans for Retreats:
There is an option for us to provide vegetarian/vegan/gluten free meal plans for an additional charge. A large portion of ingredients are grown here on the farm or sourced from our neighbor’s farms, so the menu will be determined by what is in season. We tend to follow the Ayurveda approach to diet including light breakfasts and lunches, incorporating lots of medicinal spices and herbs, and a mix of raw and slow cooked meals.
Here are some sample meal options and eating schedule would include:
Tea made from medicinal herbs growing here such as moringa and tulsi with a piece of fresh fruit to start the day and fuel your morning practice.
Breakfast post morning practice: Fruit and vegetable Smoothies with papaya, banana, avocado, kale, spinach, plus added “crunchy” stuff to amp up the health of your smoothie: spirulina, chia and flax seeds. Fresh fruit plate served with oatmeal, muesli, and/or granola. Side of homemade nut butter.
Lunch: Fresh salad from the garden with arugula, kale, and spinach mixed with tomatoes, carrots, and cabbage served with a homemade dressing. Raw green papaya salad served with peanut sauce. Avocado toast and a cup of butternut squash soup.
Dinner: Vegetable curry including many spices, fresh veggies and coconut milk served with mung beans or green lentils.
BBQ Jackfruit Stew.
* Deserts including homemade fruit pies, rice/chia pudding, and raw chocolates upon request.
* Snacks such as dehydrated fruits and our homemade nut butter can be purchased a la carte.
If you are a retreat/event host and would like to bring your own chef or cook for your event you can use our communal kitchen and all the supplies/tools that come with it plus some of our fresh produce and herbs.
