A Sneak Preview of our Guest Hosts

Her name is “KALEHUAMAKONOE” which means – the misty eyes of the Lehua (Peles’ flower) or as the ancestors refer to “the discerning eye”.  She is the caretaker of the very ancient Hikiau Heiau Temple.  “Fern Pule” (her other name) will be at the retreat our first evening and will grace us with her music, dance, stories and historical information of the islands. Even a little Hula lesson!  We will experience the exquisite tastes of Hawaiian food prepared by her family.  She is a most powerful and magical woman with a delightful sense of humour, and I am so honoured that she is sharing this experience with us.

JOHN (TODD) DACEY will be treating us with his delicious gourmet meals!  His menus have received high praise from the many guests of other events he has catered within the last decade. He will prepare primarily vegetarian with occasional fresh fish dinners and yummy healthful desserts and snacks throughout the retreat.  Whole, organic, locally grown ingredients are used, including many "living" foods. These are delicious meals that nourish and nurture the body and soul. The food and dining table is always artfully presented for the eyes to feast on as well.   Johns website is: www.aloha.net/~blove  Check it out!

SHEOLA MAKARA will be joining us every morning with her “swimming angels”. They will assist each person at their level of water expertise, as we swim with the Dolphins – and for those that prefer we do have Kayaks available!   Sheoli lives on the Big Island, and has many years of experience working with dolphins in the wild.  She shares her knowledge generously, and concurs with dolphin researchers that the effects dolphins have upon others are exceptionally beneficial. The combination of Sheoli's work, the dolphin experience, and the sacred energy of the islands quickens healing processes mentally, physically and emotionally. One of her greatest joys is to introduce people to the Dolphins and observe as personal miracles occur.

DOLPHIN DAVE will inspire and entertain us with his Didgeridoo. He will teach us how to connect to our inner child, to laugh and to connect with the energy of love that is within you. He brings us to a place becomming one with the playfullness of the Dolphins. He will make your experience at the retreat an unforgettable one!

Testimonials

What a wondrous experience! I went to the dolphin event with no expectations and a few fearful concerns only to watch all of that melt away to be replaced with such love and joy, I have a difficult time finding words.
The support, both physical and spiritual, was gracious and readily forthcoming.
I met with like minds while truly playing and laughing with both pods.
I’m home now and filled with dolphin. “ Podliness is indeed Godliness”
I have started saving for my next trip with Hannelore and her incredible team. If you get a whisper from the Universe, follow it to this magic.
Rachel from White Rock,BC

I came with the expectation of the adventure of swimming with the wild dolphins; I left with the sweetness of joy of experiencing the mystical magic of surround sound dolphin dance of life. There are no words that can express the beauty and joy one experiences in the presence of the angels of the sea.
The magic of this retreat is that the experience will live on forever within your being. The mystery lies in the interconnected energies of the land, the sea and all creatures and how the energy and the experience nurtures ones mental, physical and spiritual well being.
Thank you Hannelore for sharing the gift of your dream of swimming with the wild and free.

The changes that took place in my awareness were profound. My heart opened so much, and my vibration rose to a much higher level. To find such a beautiful connection with the dolphins and the people truly awakened a part of me that I didn’t even know was asleep. My gratitude to the universe and Hannelore is overwhelming. Mahalo! Sommer

Thank-you for the opportunity to share in the Dolphin retreat. My life has been enlightened and enriched by all of the experiences. I have done things that I would never thought that I would do and I have seen magnificent scenes that I never thought that I would see. The people that I met will be in my thoughts forever as they have touched my soul. The tranquility and the spirituality of the retreat will remain one of my greatest high points in my life.
With Love Emjai.

The Swim with Dolphin Retreat was an incredible life changing experience. The Dolphins showed us how to let go and just play. They are beautiful loving, joyful beings. Hannelore has created a magical place on land. I felt welcomed into a community of people that reflected the magic realm of the Dolphins. It was like a fairytale. I took this magic back home and into my World. Carole

Hannelore, I have so much gratitude and joy when I remember Hawaii and your Dolphin Retreat. For the first time I truly fell in love and experienced forgiveness and it was with me. I experienced "Dolphin Energy", I truly know what it is to love and live in each moment, to be open and trust and to let go and feel. On my last day I asked the Dolphins for a message if there was one and then let it go, later a Dolphin came to me and completed a full circle of spinning jumps around me, my message was that I was the center, the love-the joy-everything I have been searching for is within me. It was also a time of many new experiences and connecting with amazing people on a soul level who will stay in my heart always. I have healed and grown and opened-it has enriched my life. Mahalo.

I wrote this when I returned:

I bloom...

ever so delicately my petals unfold
every so desperately my petals unfurl
to reveal my essence
my light
my love,
you breathe me in
i breathe you in
we are One.
