The cost includes daily lunches, opening dinner & celebration, wisdom teachings, entrance fees, visits to sacred sites & more. You are responsible for air & ground transportation, lodging.

Kawehi and Debbie Ryder will be our 'ohana on Lana'i. They are cultural practitioners who share their mana'o and no'eau with many youth, adults and communities in Hawaii and the world.
