RENEW, REVITALISE, RESTORE
with Wilhemeena Monroe + the Whales
LION’S GATE RETREAT 2025
A tropical island Wellbeing immersion ON the POWERFUL TIME OF LION’s GATE 2025
Immerse yourself in simple yoga practice, qi gong, meditation and wellness rituals within the tranquil surrounds of Ha’apai’s lush private island environment. We will pamper you with healing treatments, daily freshly cut coconuts, and an abundance of local organic produce, as part of a deeply nourishing wellness program.
Everyday there is time to unwind, relax, swim, snorkel, SUP or kayak and you will get the amazing chance to swim with whales as part of the program. Leave feeling fully renewed. Within and without – come and experience new life.
Lion’s Gate is a powerful time to gather and put into place plans for what you want to create for the year ahead - on this sacred island (with sacred ancient stone mounds) we will dive into what you want to create opening your vision to co-create with the universe the version of life that is yours!!
8-8 Lions Gate is when the brightest star Sirius is aligned with the Sun in Leo, Orion’s Belt and the Earth ~ creating one of the most magnetic portals for creativity and manifestation. It can be felt from 27th July - 8th August. We will be working with Willa’s magical Visioning processes on this truly magical slice of paradise, which is a magical portal in itself. At this equally magical time - eeooww!
PLUS - the enchanting and incredible opportunity to swim with the humpback whales - is none-other than otherworldly. Whales have powers. For a whale, the field of perception is almost the entire ocean, they can pick up other calls from thousands of miles away and thieir voices carry just as far. There is a known phenomenon where humans spontaneously break down in tears of joy when hearing whale calls. The reason for this is unknown. (But I have experienced this first hand many times - including personally!) When whales call, they bathe 70% of the Earth in high frequency vibrations that are known to heal and benefit all biological lifeforms. These creatures play a very specific role in Earths consciousness. On this journey we immerse int he waters with these marvelous creatures - tuning in to their medicine for us.

“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep! ”
