An Hawaiian Paradise
Kalani
Oceanside Retreat is located on 113 spacious acres of botanical
forest along the sunny and secluded Puna Coast on "the Big Island"
of Hawaii. Bordered by tropical forest and rugged lava coastline
and near Kilauea, the most active volcano in the world, Kalani is
the only coastal lodging facility within Hawaii's largest conservation
area. Twenty acres are dedicated to landscaped lawns and retreat
facilities. On-site amenities include an Olympic-size swimming pool,
two jacuzzis, a sauna, and free wireless Internet access.
Among nearby attractions are a black-sand beach, tidepools, thermal
springs, natural steam vents, Volcanoes National Park, botanical
gardens, and hiking to waterfalls. The sea cliffs of the Kalani
coastal area provide for close-up views of turtles, dolphins,
and migrating whales. This paradisiacal environment will enfold
us in an atmosphere of complete relaxation, soothing our spirits
so we can leave our daily hassles behind and awaken the mindfulness
that is necessary for lucid dreaming and lucid living.
The three daily meals (included in the fee) are wholesome vegetarian
(with fresh fish and chicken options), featuring local Hawaiian
fruits and organic produce. Meals are served in the open-air dining
lanai. Accommodations are lovely, in natural wood with plenty
of light, a clean, modern, yet rustic feel.
Getting to Kalani
Fly from Honolulu (or from another island), via Hawaiian
Airlines (800-882-8811) or another carrier, to Hilo,
from which it's only a 40-minute drive, or to Kona
(direct from North America and Asia), from which you may enjoy a 3-hour scenic drive via either
the northern or southern routes.
Driving directions
Special car rental rates and inter-island flight coupons are available from Hawaiian airlines upon request when you make your flight reservations.
Kalani Airport Shuttle
Kalani offers transportation (from Hilo Airport only) for $65, or $45 per person
for more than one traveler. Regular Taxi service is about $70. To arrange for Kalani's
shuttle service, contact
them directly at least one day in advance.
Attendees are responsible for arranging transportation to the Kalani site.
The Institute will contact registered participants to help coordinate
possible group shuttle rides from Hilo airport.
Hawaiian weather is delightfully mild year 'round. The temperature at Kalani will
typically range from the mid-60's to the mid-80's. Brief rain-showers are common, but there
is plenty of sunshine as well.
