An 8-Day Women’s Health + Wellbeing Retreat
On Hawai‘i’s Big Island, the volcano shapes the land in cycles of fire and renewal—powerful, unpredictable, and deeply life-giving. In much the same way, the female body moves through its own dynamic rhythms: the flow of hormones, shifting tides of energy, and the transitions that shape a woman’s journey through youth, fertility, and the wisdom years. Both island and body remind us that change is not only natural, but essential for growth and vitality.
And just as the island remains rooted to the ocean floor, we can anchor ourselves in the foundations of health to navigate the fluctuations of womanhood with steadiness and grace.
This 8-day retreat, designed exclusively for women, uses evidence-based cirriculum to cut through the noise of trends. Guided by Dr. Kellie Moore, ND, psychologist Beatriz Lloret, MA & LPC, and yoga teacher Bree Dillon, E-RYT, you’ll explore your body’s unique physiology, engage in mindful movement practices, and nourish yourself with intentional, wholesome foods. Each day we’ll tap into the island’s vital energy as we blend experiential workshops, restorative rituals, and opportunities for deep connection with yourself and a community of women.
Wake to the sound of waves. Breathe the tropical air. Sink your feet in the sand. Move your body powerfully and mindfully. Eat nourishing food. Swim in the ocean. Nap in a hammock. Laugh and learn with new friends. And repeat.
The Big Island of Hawai‘i is a warm and culturally rich island—February temps are in the 80s! This retreat provides the space to ground into your body, deepen your understanding of its wisdom, and feel the healing power of living the foundations of health—leaving you with embodied insight and practical tools to carry into daily life.
When you join this retreat, you are investing in your wellbeing as a woman—dive deep into your self-care and explore island life of beach, jungle, and ocean.
This retreat will:
refuel your vital energy
empower you with knowledge & resources to support your ongoing health as a woman
connect you to nature, new friends, and yourself
ignite your creativity, purpose and direction

“This retreat helped me to live my authentic self and was probably one of those defining moments in life for me.”
Our Retreat Sanctuary
Our home for this week is an eco-retreat center located on the Hilo side of the Big Island. This 10-acre tropical organic orchard is hemmed in by jungle, lava, ocean and an old growth mango grove planted in King Kamehameha’s honor. It feels rich, alive, and sacred. The property is fully integrated with state-of-the-art solar power and water purification systems and the amenities of an "on grid" facility: including WiFi, flush toilets, on-demand hot water, and electricity. We'll dine al fresco on deliciously prepared fresh, local ingredients, many of which are harvested from the property’s garden and over 30 different tree species. It's a wholesome, unpretentious place.
all-inclusive
Once you arrive you’re done making decisions. That might sound scary, but you’ll be amazed at how much energy you recuperate. All your food, adventures, yoga, and workshops are included!
High-value
There are cheaper ways to spend a week. But there aren’t many ways to get the amount of knowledge and guidance of a physician, a psychologist, and a yoga teacher that you’ll receive for less.
A world away
In 2014, a lava flow restructured the land surrounding the retreat center cutting it off from direct access to Hilo. Still, it’s only an hour drive from the Hilo airport though it feels like like it’s a world away.
Frogs & Hogs
Our retreat is immersed in nature. At night tree frogs croak and wild hogs root around. By day birds sing and mango trees rustle in the wind. This is the soundscape of your week.
The Food is Special
KMEC takes great pride in their food. You'll be served from a menu that's guided by Dr. Kellie, wholesome, nutritious, and deeply satisfying
“This retreat was just what I needed to refresh and reset. The 5 pillars of health: Calm, Nourishment, Movement, Connection and Rest will always stick with me. The facilitators were all knowledgeable, passionate and also a lot of fun.”
Accommodations & Pricing

“Never have I felt such total acceptance.”
“After losing my husband unexpectedly I lost myself. And when I experienced a week with new, powerful and beautiful souls, I was able to re-connect into myself and truly feel like me again. Even in the short week you really feel the vibes.”
