New Year's Retreat 2026 – Begin the New Year with Awareness
For the 13th time in a row
Away from the spiritual mainstream, this retreat offers you the opportunity to experience your true self within a paradisiacal outer setting, in a space beyond time. The deep stillness experienced during the retreat can last for months afterward.
What makes this retreat different
The New Year's Retreat is taking place for the 13th time in a row. It is deliberately not a wellness holiday and not a spiritual event, but a week in which the turn of the year becomes an occasion to pause: to look honestly at the old year, let go of what is no longer needed and step into the new year with clarity. Group conversations, times of silence and Maui's nature provide the setting.
Who is it for?
For entrepreneurs, executives, self-employed professionals, coaches, therapists and anyone who wants not just to celebrate the turn of the year, but to shape it consciously.
Join us at the root of Being!
