Join us for a wonderful culinary, creative, and self-nurturing retreat in Kona, Hawaii that might just change your life! We’ll be based at the lush and luxurious Ohana Retreat Center set amid acres of palms, flowers and tropical fruits and within walking distance of beaches, restaurants and more. The week will include cheesemaking classes, wine tastings and pairings, a cooking class, art explorations, yoga, and field trips with several additional options such as massages and ukulele lessons. Participation in any activity is always your choice and there will be enough time off between sessions for you to enjoy the beaches and explore the island a bit.
Co-hosted by Kate Johnson of The Art of Cheese and Alissa Norton of Living Color Coaching
