SACRED STILLNESS
A Meditation Retreat Led By Kelly Smith
Maui, Hawaii
February 26 - March 3, 2022
Join Kelly Smith E-RYT 500, YACEP and host of the Mindful in Minutes podcast for a 6-day mindfulness meditation retreat and soul journey to find your sacred stillness. Take time to unwind, release, and cultivate your meditation practice through daily meditation sessions, mindful movement, and personal guidance from Kelly from the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui.
Return to the roots of mindfulness with workshops designed to help you build your personal practice, and create sustainable meditation habits that fit your life. Release expectations, challenge yourself and retreat from the external world as you seek your sacred stillness.

During the day you can enjoy the property’s beautiful views, explore the grounds, or head to the beach just a short walk away. During this escape you will get to explore the highlights of the Big Island, connect with nature through guided hikes, and even experience the magic of a silent, unplugged day. This retreat is welcome to all, and is suitable for all levels of experience.
