A True Hawaiian Retreat
Guided By Kanaka

Lā'au Lapa'au
Hawaiian lā‘au lapa‘au is a sacred healing practice that weaves plant medicine, prayer, and deep relationship with the land. It invites spiritual seekers to learn medicine the Hawaiian way—slowly, humbly, and in harmony with nature and living lineage.
Ceremony
Practicing in Hawaiʻi, alongside cultural practitioners and on the land where these ceremonies were born, deepens understanding, grounding the experience in authenticity, relationship, and spiritual integrity.
Transformation
Hawaiian spirituality offers a gentle yet powerful path of transformation, guiding you back into balance with yourself, the land, and the unseen.
Inspired by the pewa patch—a wooden, butterfly-shaped mend used to repair cracks—Pewa™ reflects the belief that what is cracked is not meant to be discarded, but restored, honored, and strengthened.

"An eye opening experience."
To be cut off from the world and focus on understanding and releasing your past and feel the growth brewing inside was an incredible feeling. On top of that we were nourish with local produce that were planted, harvest, and served for a week! Along with a growing community that are like minded, I can't wait for the next cohort.

"A calm and grounding experience overall"
The environment was peaceful, surrounded by nature, which made it easy to disconnect from daily stress and focus inward. The schedule was well-structured but not overwhelming, allowing enough free time for reflection and rest. Darcie and her staff were kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They explained each practice clearly and encouraged participants to move at their own comfort level, which made the experience feel safe and welcoming. Group sessions felt supportive, and there was no pressure to share more than you wanted to Activities like meditation, and mindful movement helped improve mental clarity and emotional balance. While the retreat may not lead to immediate or dramatic changes, it offered useful tools for self-awareness and inner calm that can be continued afterward.

" Enriched with wisdom"
of nā kumu who offered unique insights that stirred new excitement in my practice, future teachings, and life in general. From learning the history of place, to understanding personalities through ka mahina, to techniques for exploring and coping with inner challenges, to food as medicine, and even navigation for moving through the moana of life, everything was woven together with depth and simplicity.
I returned home renewed, refreshed, inspired, and carrying insights that continue to unfold well beyond the retreat space.
Would I participate again? Absolutely!
The value of Pewa Retreats is immeasurable. I look forward to future gatherings curated by Darcie Pulawa Morales.
