Awakening The Soul:

The Soul of Kauai Calls

A Sacred Journey Guided by Trust, Time, and Living Hawaiian Wisdom

June 2 - 6, 2025

Wailua, Kauai

In this profound time of awakening, Kauai calls to those sensing a deeper truth within. This journey offers a rare immersion in Hawaiian wisdom during a powerful gateway as we build toward Summer Solstice.

For four and a half transformative days, you'll be held in the sacred container of authentic cultural connection created by Touch Kauai and Kaiāulu. This unique collaboration brings together four long-time members of Kumu Hula Puna Kalama Dawson's extended 'ohana, weaving decades of relationship-building with respected practitioners and elders into an experience that illuminates your essence through living Hawaiian wisdom.

Touch Kauai has been blessed by Auntie Puna's consistent presence and wisdom at their transformative events for over twenty years. Simultaneously, as Founding Board Chair of Kaiāulu, Auntie Puna guides the global work of reunifying Indigenous wisdom traditions with the modern world.

While Spirit always guides who will be present, the depth of relationships built with cultural practitioners over decades allows for something extraordinary - the kind of heart-opened sharing that simply isn't possible through brief encounters or standard tourist experiences. Practitioners share from their hearts because they know their wisdom will be received with proper respect and understanding.

What participants from our March gathering experienced speaks volumes:

"I find it difficult to put into words what happened to me... spaces were opened, allowing me and all other participants to simply be as we were, bringing forth our essence. Hawaiian wisdom is so simple, so true, and so deeply touching."

  • Bettina D.

With only 33 spaces available for this gathering, we encourage you to secure your place if you feel called to participate in this extraordinary journey.

The Veils Are Thin:
Your Soul Remembers

Hawaiian elders speak of this as the Time of Prophecy - a time of Hoʻomaʻemaʻe, when humanity is called to restore harmony with Spirit and 'Āina (land, that which feeds us). The ancient wisdom needed for this restoration still lives, held by those who have maintained these sacred connections across generations.

Kauai's unparalleled beauty has catalyzed profound awakenings for thousands. Those who arrive with open hearts sense something here that changes them forever – a remembering that emerges only through genuine connection. This deeper experience unfolds through proper guidance and authentic relationships with cultural practitioners who have maintained these traditions across generations – relationships nurtured through years of mutual respect and consistent presence.

This June gathering holds particular potency. As the veils between worlds grow increasingly thin, the elders teach that this specific season of time calls for decisive action. Those who feel drawn to participate will be part of a unique weaving of wisdom traditions that future gatherings may evolve beyond.

Our March gathering confirmed what we've witnessed countless times:

"I couldn't have imagined that these storytalks and teachings would have such an impact on my whole being and would be so heart-opening. To give other people the possibility to be part of the community and to be respected and seen for what one is, was also very touching."

  • Birgit S.

As we come together during the First Quarter Moon, a unique opportunity unfolds to access wisdom and transformation through proper protocol and genuine connection. With a maximum of 33 participants, we encourage you to listen to the inner calling that brought you to this page.

Through thousands of transformative experiences, Touch Kauai has developed a profound approach to creating genuine cultural connection. Their way of working opens doors to sacred sharing, where meaningful moments emerge naturally through trust built over decades of consistent presence on island.

Kaiāulu's work has ignited a global movement reunifying Indigenous wisdom traditions with the modern world. Under their Founding Board Chair's guidance, they've created a vibrant international community where ancient knowledge illuminates contemporary challenges. Their regular gatherings consistently draw participants from every continent, who describe the experiences as 'consciousness-lifting' and 'life-changing.'

Now, for our second collaborative gathering, we weave together these unique gifts during this potent lunar phase:

  • Direct access to wisdom traditions rarely available to visitors

  • Sacred ceremonies and practices in their traditional contexts

  • Hands-on participation in cultural preservation

  • Integration support that helps wisdom take root in daily life

  • Relationships that continue beyond our time together

"This is a full body, spirit, mind, emotions, community, and land experience. You use every single part of yourself. There's something about connecting with the Hawaiian tradition through the land, and the people who can transmit to us what it means to connect to the land in that way. That's unique. You can't find that everywhere."

  • Greg Hef.

For those feeling called to participate, this represents a rare opportunity to help shape how ancient wisdom can be appropriately shared and supported in these pivotal times.

What Past Participants Share

  • "Kaiāulu has been an extraordinary gift during these uncertain times, offering a profound sense of harmony and connection. Despite coming from different corners of the world, Kaiāulu synchronizes us in a shared rhythm, weaving together our unique paths into a collective journey rooted in unity consciousness."

    Christian Ace S.

  • “The encounter with Hawaii and its special people deeply touched and transformed us. Katharina and Enrico's guidance was outstanding. They brought us into direct contact with the breathtaking spiritual energies of the islands and allowed us to feel their love for Hawaii, its nature, and its people. In the same way, we were able to connect deeply with ourselves and each other. The entire trip was so imbued with the Aloha Spirit that transformation was inevitable!”

    Claudia and Matthias

  • "When I first landed in Kaua'i, I immediately felt something that I could only describe as 'magic', something powerful and connected to a deep part of me that I couldn't explain… Through [Katharina’s] gentle direction and fun techniques I soon was able to discover ways I could 'see' more clearly the magic of Kaua'i – in a river, a waterfall, jungle, stone and tree. I will always be grateful to her for showing me those special places, both in the nature of this garden island and in me."

    Paul C.

  • "The journey I was able to take through Kaiāulu lifted my consciousness to a much higher level. The deep resonance of the ancient sacred knowledge that Auntie Puna and Mamo Lorenzo share strengthens the ability to connect with Mother Nature. I am forever grateful to Prajna and Greg for their support of the indigenous elders and their work to make this ancient knowledge accessible to the world and to preserve it for future generations."

    Sonja R.

  • "We were nourished in every way... Our hosts provided us with spectacular views of Mother Nature's glory in a safe, loving space. Katharina, Enrico, Prajna, and Greg held space for sharing that was both deep and meaningful, light and playful."

    Marian H.

  • "We were welcomed in a beautifully decorated tent. People of diverse backgrounds and types were led into a deep connection, truly embodying the Aloha Spirit. It touched me deeply in my heart, and I hope I can take much of it home with me to spread the Aloha Spirit in my environment to give people hope and connection."

    Monique Z.

  • "Super grounding, super heart opening. Been learning so much and getting inspired to bring all of this back home and really ground this knowledge into the roots of where I am."

    Abhilasha V.

  • "Life is like a prayer in constant motion, and it is up to us to receive all the blessings it has in store for us openly and with love. Coming from different nations, ages, and contexts, we created a healing space that allowed us to be both open and permeable with our hearts, and to inspire one another."

    Stefanie K.

A Note About Our Approach

This experience differs fundamentally from typical cultural tourism. We don't follow rigid itineraries or scripts. Instead, we create space for authentic moments of connection guided by Spirit, cultural protocols, and the wisdom of elders and practitioners who may join us. This flexibility allows for genuine experiences that can't be manufactured or guaranteed - they must be allowed to unfold naturally with proper intention and respect. When you approach this journey with an open heart, these moments of connection become the seeds of transformation that continue bearing fruit long after you return home.

Your Bridge-Builders

The power of this experience comes from the unique collaboration between Touch Kauai and Kaiāulu, organizations that have been blessed with meaningful relationships with cultural practitioners and elders on Kauai. We do not position ourselves as experts in Hawaiian culture - instead, we serve as bridges, helping to create appropriate access to authentic wisdom through connections built on trust, respect, and reciprocity over many years.

Touch Kauai

For twenty years, Katharina and Enrico Becker have dedicated themselves to facilitating transformative experiences that honor Hawaiian culture. As long-time learners of hula and Hawaiian cultural practices, they bring complementary gifts to this work - Katharina's intuitive talent for illuminating the soul's truth and creating spaces where authentic transformation can occur, and Enrico's profound connection with nature and ability to guide others into deeper relationship with the elements. Together, they've developed an approach that combines deep reverence for Hawaiian wisdom with practical experience in helping people open to personal transformation.

Kaiāulu

Led by their Founding Board Chair and Director of Indigenous Programming, Kumu Hula Puna Kalama Dawson, Kaiāulu works globally to reunify Indigenous wisdom traditions with the modern world. Prajna and Greg Horn bring complementary gifts to this work - Prajna's ability to attune deeply to the energetics of groups and situations, and Greg's talent for weaving people together while maintaining clarity and simplicity. Together, they've built a global community through consistent New Moon gatherings that connect people with Indigenous wisdom from around the world.

Our Commitment to Cultural Integrity

We maintain clear boundaries about our role. We are not cultural practitioners or experts - we are grateful students who have been trusted to help create bridges between these profound traditions and those who sincerely seek to learn from them. When cultural practitioners and elders choose to share their wisdom, we help create the container for that sharing to happen in a pono (righteous) way.

Through this collaboration, we bring together Touch Kauai's extensive experience facilitating transformative experiences on Kauai with Kaiāulu's global work of making Indigenous wisdom appropriately accessible. The success of our March gathering confirmed the power of this unique partnership.

The Gift of Relationship

We have been blessed to cultivate deep connections with respected cultural practitioners and elders who choose to share their wisdom during these gatherings. While we never guarantee who will be present, as this must flow with Spirit's guidance, the depth of these relationships creates opportunities for authentic cultural sharing that emerges only when proper protocols and genuine respect are honored.

A Note About Value

While we outline a clear structure for our time together, the true value of this experience often emerges in unexpected moments - a conversation with an elder, a profound connection with nature, or a sudden remembering of who you truly are. We create the container, but Spirit guides what unfolds within it. Your investment honors this process by ensuring all involved, including cultural practitioners, are properly valued for their contributions to this sacred work.

The value of this immersion extends far beyond the days we spend together. Past participants share that their experience continues to unfold long after returning home, with insights emerging weeks and even months later. As one March participant shared:

"I feel full of trust, grounded, and happy... Two days after the retreat, I had a profound realization during the night—I understood that it's about fully opening oneself to life and believing that ANYTHING is possible."

Your investment honors the depth of what's shared by ensuring all involved, including cultural practitioners, are properly and generously valued for their contributions to this sacred work.

The Time To Decide Is Now

The elders teach that when the call is felt, decisive action honors both the calling and those extending the invitation. With limited spaces remaining and this unique collaboration happening now, we encourage you to listen to that inner voice that brought you to this page. The difference between those who experience transformation and those who miss it often comes down to one decision – the decision to say yes when the opportunity presents itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring?

After registration, you'll receive a detailed packing list. Generally, we recommend:

  • Comfortable clothing for varying weather (layers recommended)

  • Sturdy walking shoes that can get muddy

  • Refillable water bottle

  • Sunscreen and hat

  • Light rain jacket (Kauai's weather can change quickly)

  • Journal for reflection

  • Open heart and mind

Is this the same as your March event, just longer?

While the same bridge-builders are facilitating, this June gathering offers several key differences. First, the four and a half day format allows for a more spacious experience with deeper integration. Second, we'll gather during the First Quarter Moon, a time of powerful momentum and growth in Hawaiian tradition. Finally, this journey includes new experiences, cultural immersions, and nature connections that weren't possible in our shorter format gathering.

What makes this different from other cultural experiences?

Unlike typical tourist activities, this gathering flows from decades of relationship-building with cultural practitioners and elders. We don't script or commercialize cultural sharing - instead, we create space for authentic connection guided by Spirit and proper protocols. Our focus is on depth rather than entertainment, and on building genuine understanding rather than superficial experiences.

Will we meet Hawaiian elders or cultural practitioners?

While we maintain deep relationships with respected elders and practitioners who often share their wisdom during our gatherings, we never guarantee specific individuals' presence. This honors the cultural protocol of allowing Spirit to guide who should be present and what should be shared. What we can guarantee is that any cultural sharing will come through authentic relationships built on trust and respect.

What if I need to cancel?

We understand circumstances can change. Our cancellation policy:

  • Full refund minus $333 processing fee up to 45 days before gathering

  • 50% refund 30-44 days before gathering

  • 25% refund 15-29 days before gathering

  • No refunds within 14 days of gathering

We strongly recommend travel insurance to protect your investment.

Additionally, our Experience Assurance ensures your peace of mind: If you participate fully and don't feel this gathering provided meaningful connection with Hawaiian wisdom, we'll invite you to a private 60-minute integration session with our team. This additional support helps process your experience and access insights that may have been initially overlooked. We're deeply committed to supporting your journey, even if your initial experience differs from expectations.

Is there a payment plan available?

Yes, we understand that this represents a significant investment in your transformation. Please contact us directly to discuss payment plan options that work for your situation. We're committed to making this experience accessible while honoring its value.

How physically demanding is this retreat?

We design our gatherings to be accessible to most people while still connecting deeply with Kauai's natural environment. Activities can be modified to accommodate different physical abilities. Upon registration, you'll complete a questionnaire where you can share any limitations or concerns, allowing us to ensure your experience is both comfortable and transformative.

The Elders teach us that everything is about Right Timing. If you feel called to this experience, we invite you to trust that knowing and secure your space now.

P.S. - We've heard from many March participants that their decision to join was initially met with logical objections – time constraints, financial considerations, uncertainty. Yet after participating, they consistently report it was "one of the best decisions" they ever made. As one participant shared: "I wish everyone could have such a deep and heart opened experience." Sometimes, the soul's wisdom speaks more clearly than the mind's calculations. We invite you to honor that wisdom now.

“Touch Kauai was a true transformation for me – from a mind-driven European to a feeling and loving being who intuitively knows what to do. What a relaxation. A path out of fear and control toward primal trust and a loving energy that still carries me through Europe on a pink cloud, even a year later.”
