Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Awakening – Hawai‘i
A 7-Day Transformational Retreat on the Big Island of Hawai‘i
Upcoming Dates 2025-2026
September 15-21
November 17- 23
December 29- January 4
Have you ever felt the call? That deep, unshakable knowing in your gut that there’s more—more to who you are, more to why you’re here, and more waiting for you just beyond the noise ?
This retreat is for the seekers. The sensitives. The intuitively weird and wildly wise ones who are ready to stop circling the edges of their potential and actually step into it. Over 7 days on the lush, untamed Big Island of Hawai‘i, you’ll learn to access your Akashic Records, commune with your spirit guides, and burn through the internal doubts that keep you small.
Through a potent mix of somatic, energetic, and spiritual practices, you’ll reclaim your intuitive power, fine-tune your inner GPS, and activate a new level of clarity, confidence, and cosmic connection. Oh—and you’ll craft a vision board that’s not just pretty, but a sacred, embodied map of what your soul is truly calling you toward. Less manifesting fluff, more embodied magic.
The Retreat Experience
Each day is a mix of embodied spiritual practice, breathtaking adventures, and intimate group connection. You’ll visit sacred sites like Mauna Kea, the Green Sand Beach, and Kīlauea Volcano. You’ll walk barefoot on black lava and meditate by turquoise waters.
We’ll open the Akashic Records together, learn how to communicate with spiritual guides and light beings, and engage in daily energetic clearings and intention-setting circles. Through muscle testing, intuitive exercises, and somatic tools, you’ll begin to know—not just believe—what your truth is and how to follow it.
This is not a spectator retreat. You will participate in your own awakening.
Alongside deep energetic and spiritual work, we’ll care for the body through gentle physical practices—daily movement options like yoga, hiking, swimming, walking meditations, song, vision board, and Intutive movement practices. All are optional and adjustable to your needs and rhythms.

“Carly’s dedication to her craft and her clients is evident in every moment. I felt completely safe and supported by her authenticity and unwavering investment in my well-being.
Carly curates an adventurous experience that connects mind, body, and soul.

Her space is warm, inviting, and perfectly aligned with her healing practices.

Sacred Kealakekua Bay-
🌴About the Retreat Home and Location
Nestled in a lush, green pocket of the Big Island with panoramic ocean views, our private residence offers both the serenity of remote jungle and the sparkle of the sea.
Just minutes by car from some of the island’s most sacred and stunning beaches—Honaunau Bay (2-Step) for it’s world class snorkeling, Ho’okena’s sandy beach and Manini, and the potent vortex of Kealakekua Bay—you’ll be swimming in healing waters known to bring wishes to life. Dolphins and baby whales often grace the mornings.
This quirky old Hawaiian home, once a nudist colony in the '80s, is full of charm and soul. Built by a local architect with flair, it features a sweeping balcony with unobstructed ocean views and lush jungle stretching all the way to the sea. Sunset happens right from the balcony.
The house serves as a sacred gathering space for group meals, meditations, and deep sharing. Most meals will be enjoyed here, along with down time, intention circles, and morning practices.
The house is spacious, with cozy nooks for solo reflection and a backyard full of life—7 semi-wild cats, chickens, geckos, and morning birdsong. Even watching a gecko here can be a meditation.
For those staying off-site, we recommend our hand picked accommodations nearby in the South Kona area.
Meals
Your body is a vessel for spiritual clarity. That’s why we’ll be fine-tuning it—gently, lovingly—to better receive guidance, energy, and inner messages.
We consider ourselves qualitarians: we choose food based on its vibrational frequency, life-force energy, and nutritional value. Meals are made with organic ingredients whenever possible and sourced from local farmers and producers here on the Big Island.
You can expect:
Colorful, nutrient-dense meals filled with fresh local vegetables, grains, and proteins
Prebiotic and probiotic-rich elements (like sauerkraut and other ferments) to support gut health
Thoughtfully prepared dishes that honor both physical nourishment and energetic alignment
We will happily cater to your dietary needs—vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.—just let us know in advance so we can prepare accordingly.
Meals are more than food here—they’re part of the ritual. A time to ground, integrate, and connect in community.
What Makes This Retreat Special
This retreat was downloaded to me after I kept seeing 9:11, morning and night.
At first, I thought it meant emergency. But when I looked up the angel numbers, I learned I’m entering a new chapter and being divinely guided.
I channeled the entire retreat and was initially freaked out about the woo-woo aspect—
because while I’m a chic ex-hippy who still talks to plants and communes with spirits,
I also try to wear white even when climbing around on lava.
I’m noticing a deep need for planetary elevation in this moment.
The message I received is that part of this era is meant to self-destruct—
and that there are seekers here to raise their consciousness
and usher in a new vibrational frequency.
Hard to believe, given the sh*t show we’re witnessing.
I’m on an island in the middle of the ocean.
I originally thought I was escaping the chaos until the island told me (yes, she speaks)
that the resonance in the water transmits out to the land around it.
The water carries the frequency—
and what we do in Hawai‘i pulses outward to the world.
I felt Pélé move up through my spine
as she let me know:
we’ve got to make this even more potent.
There are people out there who feel a deep desire
to tune into a higher purpose and connect with their cosmic compass.
I regularly check in with my spirit guides and let them lead the way.
I’ve been guided to create a sacred container for small groups—
spaces where you can learn tools to get clearer,
and begin clearing out the junk that blocks your guidance and intuition.
As a somatic therapist deeply immersed in body-based practices,
I use my body as a present-moment truth detector—
and I’ll support you in learning how to do the same.
I want to guide you into the possibility of truly being guided—
through the Akashic Records, spirit guides, the land, your body,
and the power of working with the quantum field
to actually manifest a life aligned with the role your soul came here to play.
This retreat is for upleveling.
It is trauma-informed, yes—(I’m a trauma therapist)
but here we are focused on clearing blockages at an energetic level,
so your soul can do what it came here to do.
The idea is to hold a sacred container
that may feel like a quantum time warp—
I’ve noticed that life tends to become a synchronistic co-actor
when we open this field.
And because this offering is supported by divine guidance,
I trust that if you’re called to be here,
however you decide to show up
is exactly what’s needed in this time.

Free Gifts Included in Your Retreat Experience
🔮 Guided Akashic Records Meditation (Audio Recording)
We’ll be learning how to access your Akashic Records during the retreat—but it can be hard to remember the process on your own. With this guided audio recording, you’ll have continued support to re-enter the energetic space and reconnect with your guides whenever you need.
🧭 Personalized Muscle Testing + Intuitive Diagnostic Tools

🎨 Your Own Vision Board to Take Home
You’ll create a personalized, soul-aligned vision board that reflects what you’re stepping into. I’ll provide all the materials—just bring your vision and heart. This board becomes your visual anchor for the life you’re calling in.
“Carly Ko is an angel you can see with your human eyes. The sound of her voice is healing. The gentle way she chuckles when you say something zany is healing. The way that, when you’re in session with her, and you’re crying, and she puts her hand to her chest because she can feel your grief inside her own body . . . that is a form of healing, too. It’s community. It’s her soul reaching out to join hands with yours. She can help you process your emotions because, whether she realizes it or not, she has the ability to take some of your feelings into her own body and to help you pass them through and out. This is part of the way she understands you. This is part of what makes her so gifted at what she does, which is, quite frankly, everything.”

This isn’t a retreat where someone gives you all the answers.
This is where you remember that you already have them.
This retreat is about direct access. We guide you into your own Akashic Records, teach you to read the signs, work with your body as a divination tool, and connect you with the land itself. Hawai‘i is alive. It’s not just a backdrop—it’s a teacher. The Big Island, in particular, offers direct access to high-frequency portals that naturally facilitate clarity, healing, and spiritual upgrades.
This retreat is intimate, raw, real, and profoundly transformative. You will leave changed.
We don’t just teach how to connect to your spiritual guidance—we help you prepare your vessel to hear it. That includes nourishing food, conscious movement, rest, and somatic awareness practices that support your entire system in being fully open, clear, and present.
“This course is the most beautifully constructed I could have imagined. It was thoughtful, supportive, interesting and deeply nourishing. I learned about parts of myself I didn’t know existed and felt a deeper sense of courage to share my voice in this world in its completion.”
