About
Purpose
Can I come alone?
Our offerings are intentionally created to welcome women coming alone or with others, with the shared intention of fostering unity.
What ages are welcome?
We deeply value the richness that comes from a multigenerational group and welcome women ages 21 to elders.
Our events and gatherings are filled with a wide range of women ages from 21 to 65+.
The majority of women who join our retreats are between the ages of 35 and 55, with a welcome mix of both younger and older women.
Can I bring a child or teenager if she is mature for her age?
Wild Women Hawai'i offerings are open to women 21 and over. This age requirement is in place out of care and respect for the experience of all attendees. At this time, we aren’t able to offer exceptions.
Can I offer my practice or teachings at a Wild Women Hawai'i gathering or retreat?
Our offerings are gently guided spaces, led by Michelle and occasionally supported by trusted, prearranged local partners under the canopy of Wild Women Hawai'i.
While we welcome every woman’s wisdom and path, these gatherings are not intended as open spaces for networking or offering personal modalities.
I’m not sure how I feel about being in a group.
We know what it feels like to step into a new space. You’re not alone. Our offerings are gentle, and not about putting anyone in the spotlight. We will hold space for you, but you are never required to share. This is a space where women are invited to arrive just as they are.
Retreat FAQ
For the retreat, can I come during the day and stay somewhere else at night?
Because our retreats are closed, we invite all guests to be present for the entire experience, from our opening welcome to the final closing. This uninterrupted time together not only supports your personal journey, but also nurtures the safe, steady atmosphere we create as a group.
The intention is to fully immerse ourselves in the retreat experience and enjoy a true break from the outside world. Coming and going can shift the energy of the space.
Can I attend only one day or part of the retreat?
To honor the depth and trust of the retreat space, we invite all participants to be present for the full experience from start to finish. Each day builds on the one before, and your presence supports the gentle rhythm of the group.
If you’re unable to attend the full retreat, we lovingly encourage you to consider joining us at a future gathering when the timing aligns.
Will we explore the island during the retreat?
Wild Women Hawai‘i retreats are intentionally rooted in one serene location, inviting you to slow down and fully immerse in the experience. The focus is on depth and inner peace, rather than sightseeing or island adventure.
If you’re eager to explore, we recommend arriving a few days early so you can adventure first, and then step into retreat mode rested and ready.
What should I bring to the retreat?
Two weeks before your retreat, you’ll receive a welcome packet with everything you need to prepare including a packing list and helpful details for your weekend.
Is Wild Women Hawai'i a licensed business?
Wild Women Hawai‘i is a licensed LLC, locally owned, women-led, and based in Hilo on the Big Island.
