This Advanced Lomilomi Retreat is designed to help you deepen your practice, receive from other advanced practitioners and elevate your gifts as a Sacred Lomi practitioner. The incredibly serene and uplifting energy of The Mountain Retreat, nestled in the majestic mountain forest of North Carolina, is an incredible place for transformation and life changing reflection

Ho’oponopono – Cultivating alignment with self and others
Ho’olohe – Deep Listening
Ho’omālamalama – Deep nurturing and restoration
Ho’omaluhia – Cultivating peace within ourselves and in our relationships
Aho – Deepening breath-work and its support of our life and practice
‘Ike – Bringing awareness to our perspective and how it influences life
Po – Delving into the great mystery of who we are through dreams, meditation and journeys
Pule – Bringing intention, chant and prayer into our sessions and life

Sacred Lomi students, practitioners and teachers will gather together to delve deeply into the essence of Sacred Lomi®, ho’oponopono and inner transformation.

Instructors

Tom Cochran spent eight years in Hawaii studying Hawaiian shamanism, the culture and the sacred art of Lomi Lomi. His deep love for the land, ancient spiritual traditions and this powerful form of shamanic healing echoes through his teaching. “This work supports us in opening and remembering the majesty of our being and the power of our essence.”

Donna Jason is a filmmaker, teacher and writer committed to the transformational power of the creative arts. She has an extensive background in theater, dance, creative visualization and healing through the emotional body. “Our true essence always serves us. When we journey through layers of our identity, healing and accepting hurt places, we reconnect with our authentic self. It is our core self that we long for, that we’re lonely for and that houses our truth, beauty and power.”
