We are excited to extend this upcoming opportunity for study with Vanessa with a series of three non-residential immersions centered in energetic studies and various modes of healing.

The Foundations Course, is the opening immersion (November 2nd -5th) offering an experiential study and expansive framework in energetics/ esoteric anatomy, the alchemy of awareness, root cause of dis-ease, attuned perception and fortifying a conscious connection with Source. This course serves as doorway to a lifelong study of the healing intelligence of Nature, the alchemy of transmutation and the power inherent within the human condition.

Together, we will embark on a potent and grounded journey delving into what is at the heart of core level healing, learn self inquiry/awareness practices to strengthen presence in the One Relationship, and fortify our personal journey of wakefulness and healing.

We are honored to offer the 4th annual Institute for Emerging Visionaries Global Incubator August 11th to 19th on the One Village Farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. This on-site immersion will unite 11 young leaders from across the globe in a 7 day program dedicated to deepening their visions for humanity and the planet. These emerging leaders will study with a curated team of mentors in the fields of self-inquiry, leadership development, facilitation, community building and project implementation. The Global Incubator offers the skills and support to help IEV Visionary Fellows realize their humanitarian visions.. To find out more or support these global visionaries, follow this link:

In the time between group meetings, Vanessa is available for personal meetings throughout the retreat.

Aloha Friends,

Camp Mana is postponed to help take care of our community during this time. 

Please let us know if you or your family need anything in the coming weeks.

We are in this together - let's stay connected.

With Love,

The Camp Mana 'Ohana

Camp Mana is a weekend long day camp offering exciting and creative opportunities for children to express themselves and explore their world. Camp Mana is now in its 15th year of inspiring youth and uniting community in service. This year’s camp offerings include art, music, dance, gardening, games and other opportunities for discovery and growth. Camp activities are focused on 4-12 year olds, toddlers are welcome with a parent, and older youth are invited to serve as mentors. Camp will be held on Mana Farm in Niuli'i, near Pololu Valley, in North Kohala.

Camp Mana is a community based event inspiring Island children to cultivate their innate wisdom, creativity and awareness. The camp invites youth into an experience of authentic expression and dynamic connection in a transformative environment of love and respect. Activities inspire inquiry, contemplation, creativity and connection, supported by heart-centered facilitators committed to serving the children. Camp Mana offers a nurturing environment that empowers all children to explore and share the essence of who they are.

Camp Mana is offered freely so all children can attend, though we welcome contributions and sponsorships to cover camp costs. We are able to serve 50 children this year, and invite all inspired volunteers to help facilitate the experience. Camp Mana is about building community: from the farmers who donate produce to the local businesses who sponsor children, to the volunteers, children and families who gather from around the Island - it is about deepening the roots of the community in authentic love and service.

Volunteer meetings are required to serve in camp. Creating a strong container and community for our keiki and each other, doing our work to unveil our hearts and live authentically, cultivating sustainable peace within...this is all an essential part of the experience and what makes is so powerfully transformative for youth and volunteers.
