Summer's Calling
Endless Summer
Early Bird Specials!


Aloha

Enjoy the remaining long days of summer with two restorative experiences in nature and early bird pricing (ends two weeks in advance). Both of these upcoming exclusive events at the secluded, private estate of Kahaluʻu Gallery and Gardens.


•   
Forest Bathed in Watercolor (August 8) is your opportunity to translate the aural experience of the forest bathing walk into a unique approach to painting! No previous art experience necessary. Art teacher Tamara Moan will guide you towards an intuitive approach to creating your own watercolor souvenirs of your time in an artist’s garden.

•   
Forest + Sound Bathing (September 5) returns on Labor Day weekend to send you onward rested and rejuvenated. The full sensory immersion of your guided wander is followed by bathing in the healing frequencies of Kaori's crystal singing bowls.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
          -- from "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver

Plan to make happiness and well-being part of these last summer months!

 
L'chaim (to life),

Phyllis Look

Hawaiʻi's first and most experienced certified forest therapy guide
 
P.S. Inquire about private forest bathing experiences with your selected guests available at other favorite locations on Oʻahu.

You will feel a gentle breeze over your entire body and sense the fresh beginnings of a new meditative peace delivered via our Universe."
