Day 1: Orientation:
GREETING: You may arrive a day or two early to relax and let go of your busy life and take advantage of the special group rate at the resort (we are a twenty minute taxi drive from the airport). At 7:30pm the first evening of the seminar you will greet your other "podners." We will melt into the warm aloha of paradise as we become fully present amidst gentle Hawaiian ambiance as we get to know eachother and learn about the dolphins and Essential Joy. We will teach you how to be with the dolphins in their ocean home. Doug is the expert with beginners in swim assistance and is 100% successful in helping people with any fear of the ocean.

Day 2: Dolphin Boat Swim and afternoon and evening meetings.
DOLPHIN BOAT EXCURSION : This will be the adventure of your life! We will drive you to the harbor to meet the boat at 7:15am. We will motor out to meet the dolphins in the morning, the joyous excursion lasting four hours. If invited, we will glide among hundreds of wild dolphins, allowing their healing energy to enfold us and their telepathic communication to enter our hearts and minds. After a wonderful swim with the dolphins, we often travel out to meet the pilot whales (see photo below on right), where we may have the opportunity of floating among them too! In the winter, the humpback whales visit Hawaii. We often encounter them on our way to the dolphins. We cannot legally swim with the humpbacks, but often they will come right over to our boat. When we return, we will have hours of quiet time to ourselves to slip into dream time, enjoy an optional relaxing massage, write in our journals, take a leisurely walk or bask in the sun. We have time to ourselves to just be...to let go and contemplate the gentle waves of aquamarine iridesence and the natural beauty on ten acres of this lush Hawaiian paradise. Our spirits are awakened and rejuvenated.

AFTERNOON MEETING: At 3:30pm, we will gather either in the meeting room or in the beautiful Secret Garden among regal palm trees and lush ferns as we learn about meeting our needs of sustenance and security within the balance of masculine and feminine qualities within. We will learn about true security and finding the place of inner nurturing as we listen to the wisdom of the heart. We will share the special oneness meditation.

GROUP DINNER IN KAMA'AINA TERRACE: You will meet together with the group at the beautiful, open dining room of the resort at sunset to dine on delicious seafood, chicken or vegetarian cuisine.

EVENING MEETING: We will gather together to learn about trust and how to incorporate it into our uncertain lives. Then we will examine freedom and what it means to all levels of our experience. We will learn how to change our negative beliefs and create the life we desire.

Day 3: Dolphin Boat Swim and afternoon and evening meetings.

DOLPHIN BOAT EXCURSION : Again, in the morning, we will be immersed in joy as we often swim eye to eye with these mystical sea angels. We will drive you to the harbor to meet the boat at 7:15am. The Spinner dolphins have graced us with their joyous presence for over eight years, and now the Spotted dolphins often join them too! We will swim with 200 or 300 dolphins most of the time. And, there are times that we have the opportunity of playing with gentle Manta Rays or sea turtles, colorful fish or pilot whales. Our time on and in the ocean is magical, fun and takes us into the present moment in bliss.

AFTERNOON MEETING: In the later afternoon, we will gather either in the meeting room or in the Secret Garden to learn about the importance and the art of presence...being fully present in each and every moment so that we live life to its passionate fullest. And then, through wisdom and a special meditation, we will make the connection to the deepest love that is at our core essence - the love that flows in a sacred circle of eternal Light.

GROUP DINNER IN KAMA'AINA TERRACE: You will meet together with the group at the beautiful, open dining room of the resort at sunset to dine on delicious seafood, chicken or vegetarian cuisine.

EVENING MEETING: Meeting together once again, we will explore the roots of our creativity and how to ignite this aspect of our lives in the balance of the masculine and feminine qualities within. We will examine our lives to find the deep meaning that lies within the essence of our beings and move into true fulfillment and the gifts that are held in every moment if we know how to find them.

Day 4: Morning meeting and afternoon closing.

MORNING MEETING:
In the morning you will be welcome to the resort's continental breakfast in the Kama'aina Terrace restaurant before meeting with the group at 9am. We will explore the the role of laughter and play in perfecting the balanced life. And we will examine what creates the deepest joy and why joy is essential to life. Through a powerful meditation, we will connect with the core of our spirituality and feel that connection in our minds, bodies and spirits so that we can access this joyous union to All-That-Is throughout our lives.

GROUP LUNCH IN KAMA'AINA TERRACE: At 1pm we will meet with the group for lunch by the ocean.

AFTERNOON CLOSING MEETING: We will gather for our last meeting together as we say our goodbyes and share the meaning of our time together with the dolphins and Essential Joy. The retreat ends at 5pm.

***You can stay for the rest of the week at the resort for the special guest room seminar rate of $119 plus tax per night.

***We always follow the dolphins intentions and honor their home. Ninety five percent of the time, They will invite us in to swim with them, and due to their delightfully unpredictable behaviour, we cannot guarantee dolphin swims.

***If there are less than four participants, we will swim from shore at one of the local bays (we will provide transportation).
