This is how your spirit exhale feels in Pāhoa

Big Island scene

Imagine the ocean shimmering makai, salt air on your skin, and the low thrum of drums moving through your chest. Under palms and stars, a circle of sisters breathes together. That’s the heartbeat of the ManaFest 2nd Annual Rose Temple Retreat.

What to Expect

Three juicy days of ceremony, movement, and spa-level bliss at Sundari. You’ll taste rich ceremonial cacao, feel the sway of sacred songs, and let your body unwind into deep ease. Think flower-scented breezes, gentle sunshine, and time to simply be.

• ●Opening the gates with intertribal cacao led by Ixchel Prisma, altar creation, and a sound-healing journey that grounds your whole system.
• ●Drum medicine with Sewa Valencia, an Indigenous ceremonial leader whose songs carry resilience and connection.
• ●A heart-opening Ho‘oponopono with Noelani Love, ʻukulele and voice guiding forgiveness and freedom.
• ●Alchemical Movement Ritual with Nicole “Oshia” Pemberton, including the 13th Womb Rite of the Munay Kai—release, ignite, and leave illuminated.
• ●Ritual dance and embodiment with Swan Sedonna, weaving choreography, prayer, and spoken word like living poetry.
• ●“Anchoring the Rose” and “Wild Nectar” with Shanaia Rai—somatic liberation, sister sharing, and the bloom of your truest essence.
• ●Music-as-ceremony with Maka Gallinger, reconnecting to ʻāina, lineage, and feminine strength.
• ●Soul-steadying sound baths from Ashira Sol and Jeska Onderwater, with voice, bowls, and the softest landing place for your nervous system.
• ●The steady pulse of Hope Medford, co-founder of ManaFest—rhythms that remember the sacred birth path.
• ●Wisdom from elder ceremonialist Jill Walton and the loving medicine songs of Lindsey Wise.
• ●Fresh, vibrant food by Lydia’s—simple, delicious plates that feel like sunshine.
