E.P.I.C. Hana Retreat

Retreat Highlights (Pictures)
Hana
|
Hana, isolated from the rest of the island, is truly the last undeveloped tropical paradise on Maui. Picturesque views of spectacular waterfalls, the rugged Hana shoreline, and some of the best beaches on the island can only begin to describe what awaits you on this journey. The 52-mile trip from Kahului Airport will take 2-4 hours depending on how often you stop along the Narrow, Winding Hana Highway (560). You can explore the various parks and lookouts as you drive through Maui’s only coastal rainforest accessible by car. The charm of Hana is the fact that little has changed over the last 20 years. Untouched by the major developments of the other side of the island, the Hana community has managed to perpetuate the small town atmosphere, Hawaiian culture and most of all, its natural scenic beauty.

Ala Kukui Retreat Center

Ala Kukui is a retreat and gathering place in Hana where you can connect through land, quiet, and community to your deepest self, a sanctuary where wisdom and knowledge are shared with respect. Ala Kukui is located on twelve gently sloping acres of lawns, fruit trees, and gardens with vast views of the blue-green Pacific and the peaks of Haleakalā, Maui’s majestic mountain.

Refrain:
We are ready and willing, Lord, we come to do your will. We are ready and willing, Lord, we come to do your will. Verse 1: Let us not lose a moment of the little time we have still to live. Let us walk on the path of life with holiness. Verse 2: All of us are children of God; one family, one body of Christ proclaiming God's redeeming love with dignity and unity. |
