“Erika, I want you to know how inspiring/phenomenal you are in your instructor/guide capacity. You were so graceful and poetic in your demonstration of the poses, and I was extremely grateful for your position of ‘no judgment here’ and ‘listen to your body’ and ‘do whatever you’re able to do–or not!’”
Core Inquiry Immersion:
If you’re a trailblazing powerhouse, ready to step boldly into the face
of your deepest fear, to radically restore intimacy with yourself and others,
then join us at Kehena Beach, Hawaii,
where the emerald jungle dives into the vast open sea,
for the most vulnerable and courageous Deep Dive of Your Life!
Drawing one long last breath,
You dive beneath the waves ...
Light beams dance all around you like a portal gate opening the way into a whole new world, as you descend deeper and deeper into the crystal clear waters, wrapped snugly in the warmth of Tūtū Pele’s motherly embrace.
Your mind is silent and still. Your lungs relax into their extended hold, savouring their precious load…
the body reacts first. The heart begins to pound like a warning drum, echoing the instinct to breathe, to resist, to return. Instead of fighting it, you bring your full attention to this moment — gently meeting your body where it is. You soften your breath, quiet the urgency, and soothe the heart like a child in fear, slowing its rhythm into a calm, confident beat. As the urge to gasp fades, surrender replaces tension. You trust the deeper intelligence of your body — its quiet knowing, its ability to access the oxygen already stored within. With that trust, your muscles release, your movements become fluid, and you settle into a state of grounded presence. The underwater world opens before you — vast, silent, and alive — revealing a beauty far beyond anything you could have imagined.
In this descent, you realize the experience mirrors something much deeper. Just as you trust your body beneath the water, the same invitation exists within you: to dive inward, to explore the unknown parts of yourself that have long been dormant, patiently waiting for your attention. Surrounded by the spirit of the land — held safely by Pele, the Mother of the islands — you are supported as you go deeper, trust bigger, and meet yourself fully. In this space, aloneness transforms into connection, fear into quiet strength. You discover a new confidence in your ability to move through barriers with gentle ease — no force, no drama, no surge of cortisol or adrenaline. Simply presence. Simply trust. In this moment, something essential is restored: your innate capacity to face fear with self-worth, to honor your body and your intuition, and to reclaim the superpower that was always yours.
Dive IN with me…
This FEELS deeper than I ever thought I could go!

Voices of Experience
Avril Shalen
Yoga Participant
Vancouver, Canadá
“When I arrived I didn’t really know what to expect. As a working wife and mother I was feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, my shoulders were tight and I was never able to fully inhale and exhale my breath. I felt like I was only half breathing. By the end of the weekend I felt rejuvenated, re-centered, relaxed and I could breath again. Erika opened our minds and our hearts through various methods and teachings and I now have a passion for learning more about myself, my soul, the universe and our interconnectedness through energy. Experience Yourself Sanctuary provided a safe place to share and be myself and experience the rawness of self love and spiritual healing. Erika is a gifted healer with so much love in her heart and passion in her soul. I feel blessed to have had this experience and I continue the practices of honouring myself, gratitude, yoga, meditation and breathing. I highly recommend Experience Yourself Sanctuary… it is truly an awakening experience! Namaste ♥”
Carol Shannon
Langley, Canadá
“I was fortunate to participate in “Experience Yourself Sanctuary” and am sharing my journey while attending, and since returning home. A wonderful setting surrounded by nature set the backdrop for awakening our deepest known and then unknown oneness with all and the universe. I especially enjoyed the selfless sharing circles, Erica’s healing hands and her grace. The morning yoga and swim was very meditative. A very spiritual experience for me, and if only once, this destination – no matter where it is – should be on everyone’s list. You will be an equal to all and respected by all. Thank you Erika & Micheal for making my experience so cherished and the gifts I carry with me everyday.”
Edith Dumont

“Erika, I’d like to express an appreciation for your counsel. Your knowledge, wisdom and treatment has improved many aspects of our lives. More sessions will be needed, but for now, I require some time to practice and reflect on the changes. There is a bright goodness that radiates from within you. Shine on.”

“Erika puts the Whole into holistic – mind, body and soul. She offers the time and space one needs to heal, using multidisciplinary hands, in an intuitive and energetic way. She is there when you need her whether it be a comprehensive multidisciplinary program or an acute middle of the weekend emergency. From family counseling, to putting your neck back in place, to building your immune system. And the best part for me is the muscle testing!”

“… and then I crossed paths with you Erika! You are the answer to my prayers! I feel like I owe you my life!” Grace said, as I stepped out the door after her session. I turned immediately, starred her straight in the eye, and sent her power directly back to her, as I said “You do NOT OWE me a thing! It is time to STOP giving your power away and disempowering yourself! You have paid me fairly, so the contract ends here! This renewed vitality is YOUR OWN! I simply helped facilitate it. So harness it and build on it. Do NOT allow it to leech away again, by feeling indebted to me! You owe me nothing. You deserve everything that you have gained today!”
The next morning Grace texted to say, “Wow amazing Grace … u are Erika! I’m getting super sore now, and it’s good to feel the deep pain releasing this way, after all the work last night! I’m taking Arnica and wishing I had a bath!”

“Erika, You ARE the medicine! What you offer is not just black and white. You are, and You offer a whole rainbow of colors. When You show up, the healing possibilities are infinite! It’s True! You pull out exactly what people need, and you show up to offer it exactly when they need it!”

Too Busy to Travel?
Too Afraid to Rewrite Your Story?
Feeling too busy, too needed, or too responsible often means you’ve forgotten how to be held.
This immersion offers a redirect — not to escape your life, but to return to it with clarity, trust, and courage.
Challenge Accepted! I'm Diving IN!
The Venue
This immersion takes place on the Big Island of Hawaii, in a lush, powerful environment where nature is not a backdrop — it is an active participant in your healing. Surrounded by jungle, ocean, volcanic land, and open sky, the venue offers a rare balance of raw natural beauty and intentional simplicity, allowing you to disconnect from noise and reconnect with what truly matters.
The land itself creates a sense of safety and permission. Here, the nervous system can finally soften. The rhythms of the ocean, the warmth of the air, and the grounding presence of the earth support deep regulation, embodiment, and integration.
Every day begins and ends in communion with nature: mornings on the beach, afternoons shaped by exploration or rest, evenings grounded in connection and reflection. The venue holds you gently yet powerfully, offering the exact environment needed to face fear, access courage, and remember your innate resilience.
Accommodations
To support different needs, comfort levels, and budgets, we offer three accommodation options, all located within the retreat grounds or very nearby, and all immersed in the same energetic container.
Accommodation Options
Shared Sacred Space
Ideal for those who feel nourished by shared experience and want to deepen their sense of belonging.
Private Sanctuary
Perfect for those who need solitude to process deeply while remaining fully immersed in the group experience.
Premium Island Retreat
This is an ideal choice if your nervous system thrives with extra space, quiet, and physical comfort.
Cuisine as Medicine
Food is not an afterthought in this immersion — it is an essential part of the healing journey. Every meal is intentionally designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and physical vitality, allowing your body to feel safe, nourished, and deeply cared for as you move through profound inner work
Eating becomes a ritual rather than a routine. Meals are shared slowly, with presence and gratitude, reinforcing the themes of connection, self-worth, and embodiment that weave through the retreat. In these moments, nourishment extends beyond nutrients — it becomes an act of remembering how it feels to receive care without urgency or restriction.
This approach to food gently re-educates the body to trust again. For many participants, this alone becomes a profound healing experience — reconnecting with hunger cues, pleasure, and the safety of being fully supported. Dietary needs, allergies, and sensitivities are respected with care and flexibility, ensuring that every participant feels seen, safe, and included.
OMG! I DESERVE to be NOURISHED!!!

AUM is the primordial sound of Creation (Pranava in Hinduism), symbolizing the essence of ultimate reality!
AUM is the phonetic breakdown of the sound, with A (creation), U (sustenance), and M (dissolution) representing the trinity.
The AUM sound represents the physical (A), mental (U), and spiritual (M) planes, followed by a silent fourth state (Turiya).
AUM is synonymous with deep sleep state (A), dreaming state (U), awakened state (M)
AUM is felt in root chakra (A), solar plexus (U), throat chakra (M), crown chakra (Turiya).
MASTER AUM, and you will reprogram your DNA and redefine your entire (dynamic) genetic expression, read from your (static) genetic code!

Facing Fear · Ocean Immersion · Transformation
With preparation and guidance, participants engage in deeper ocean experiences, including freediving and time with dolphins (conditions permitting). These experiences are supported by instructors, safety professionals, and emotional integration practices.
This day often brings powerful insights, emotional releases, and profound shifts in self-trust. The evening is devoted to rest, nourishment, and gentle integration.

Arrival · Orientation · Settling the Nervous System
Participants arrive on the Big Island and are welcomed with Aloha. Transportation to the venue is provided from designated airports. Upon arrival, you’ll have time to settle into your accommodation, explore the land, and begin orienting your body and breath to this new environment.
The evening includes a gentle opening circle to introduce the facilitators, set intentions, and establish safety within the group. This first night is about grounding, presence, and allowing the nervous system to land.
Breath · Movement · Nervous System Foundations
Mornings begin on the beach with gentle body movement, breathwork, vocal activation, and optional ocean immersion. These practices begin retraining the nervous system and establishing trust in breath and body.
The day continues with foundational teachings around trauma, breath, and self-regulation, followed by nourishing meals and spacious integration time. The evening includes reflection, somatic practices, and group connection.
reediving Foundations · Confidence · Trust
This day introduces freediving theory and practice in a safe, structured environment. Participants learn the physiology of breath-hold, nervous system responses to stress, and techniques for calm and presence under pressure.
Training occurs both on land and in controlled water settings, allowing each participant to meet their edge at their own pace. The focus is not depth — it is trust, awareness, and embodied confidence.
Clarity · Purpose · Re-entry Preparation
The final full day focuses on anchoring the journey into daily life. Participants reflect on their Hero’s Journey, clarify their “Big Why,” and identify how to carry nervous system regulation, self-trust, and embodiment forward.
A closing ceremony honours the work completed, the courage shown, and the community formed.
This is EVERYTHING I need and more!

Meet the Woman Behind the Work
The Path that Led Me Here
Every meaningful transformation begins with a call.
Not a loud one — but a quiet, persistent knowing that something isn’t right anymore. A feeling that you’ve outgrown old patterns, old fears, old ways of surviving. This retreat exists because that call is real — and because answering it changes everything.
In the Hero’s Journey, there is always a moment when the familiar no longer works. The old strategies — pushing harder, numbing out, staying busy, staying “strong” — begin to fail. This is not weakness. It is initiation. A signal that your system is ready for something deeper, truer, more aligned with who you actually are.
This immersion invites you to step out of the role you’ve been playing and into the truth you’ve been postponing. And like every true hero’s journey, this one is not about escape.
It is about return.
You return with nervous system regulation instead of reactivity. With an embodied knowing that you can meet life — relationships, health, purpose, money — from a grounded, resourced place.
This is why you’re here. Not to become someone new, but to reclaim what was always yours.
Your courage. Your breath. Your capacity to show up for yourself — fully, honestly, and without abandoning your body again.
I’m Ready to DIVE IN!

This Immersion is Everything I need!
FAQ
YES! Especially if you’re ready to step boldly into the face of the deepest fear you’ve harboured your entire life – you know it, the one that mocked you, diminished you, and SABOTAGED your greatest opportunities for vibrant health, abundant wealth, and nourishing relationship – ready to look it straight in the eye, dive into its depths, and dissolve it at its CORE, by leveraging your subconscious to self-regulate your nervous system, YOU WILL arise with amplified confidence and steadfast trust in your-SELF, to pursue every endeavour with guaranteed success, driven by discovery of your Sacred Breath as your greatest ally, and your ability to turn and SHOW UP for your-SELF 100%, in moments of attempted escape and abandon. Let’s be honest, this journey has been designed specifically for YOU!
This is not just a vacation in paradise. This retreat is an investment in YOU.
A more appropriate question would be, how can I afford NOT to go?
The training alone is worth the price of this retreat. It is specifically designed to retrain your nervous system, so that you can self-regulate in triggering moments, in order to restructure your relationships, enhance your health, and amplify your net worth!
And please know that payment plans are available. We will work with you to accommodate your needs.
We understand – being a full time parent, provider, and partner can be exhausting!
You’re supporting so many others yet feeling a deep void within yourself! This is exactly why you deserve to take the time nourish yourself, and rediscover the essence of you! This is an opportunity to interrupt the norm, restore your body, mind and spirit, replenish the growing voids, and finally bust through the fears that have been strangling you for years.
The inner stillness you gain at Kehena Beach will ground, focus and support you as you step in to life with reinforced confidence and fortified trust in yourself.
As a general overview, we will gather on the beach every morning for body movement, vocals, breath, and a swim. Then breakfast, morning teaching and training sessions, and a light lunch. Afternoons will be full of Deep Dive excursions, with a couple afternoons left open for rest, integration, training sessions, and VIP one-on-ones. Evenings will offer dinner, sharing circles, body movement, vocals, and breath.
Beyond the general overview and excursions, we leave the details to be experienced as the journey unfolds.
Naia will seize every opportunity to teach from life Itself, as it guides her in every moment!
Depending on the group’s energy, the itinerary may shift in various directions. So I invite you to trust in the magic of the moment’s unfolding!
Absolutely, please do bring a plus one! This retreat offers a deep inner journey with an invitation for profound transformation, and we strongly encourage you to invite your “primary reflection,” an individual with whom you often experience triggers arise. Their presence and participation will offer both of you the opportunity to navigate and resolve real issues in real time, by implementing all the new tools and training you gain throughout the retreat. We even offer a 35% discount off their registration fee!!
Of course not! You are always in control of your own choices and master of your own journey.
That being said, every aspect of this journey has been selected and arranged with a greater purpose and intention in mind. It is intended to assist you in the transformation you desire, and you won’t want to miss a single step along the way.
Nudity is an expression of vulnerability, transparency, and liberty! You came into this world in your most comfortable outfit, your birthday suit! And beyond the fears of judgement or violation, you DESERVE to become comfortable in it once again! You are welcome to be as naked or as clothed as you like.
Certainly not! The powers of the land will permeate you in the same way as the waters! You will receive all the same training and preparation for the free dive, and you can engage in the ultimate breath hold either on land, or in the shallows. When we swim out to sea, to sing and play with the dolphins, you can either wear a life jacket or feel their magical presence from the beach, as you choose!
Moreover, beyond the water activities, there will be days full of opportunity to face your fears head-on!
All that being said, if you’re ready to face your fears TODAY, you can sign up for private swimming lessons at your local pool and be WATER READY by the time you arrive in Hawaii, in April!!
Yes, we’re happy to!
Please let us know your needs at least two weeks before the retreat, and we’ll take care of you. If what you need is not available in Hawaii, we will let you know, and together we’ll find a solution.
Please clearly state any allergies and intolerances you have, along with your dietary preferences.
If the list of things you can’t eat is long, we may ask you for a list of things you can eat instead.
Yes, Hawaii is very safe. That being said, we’ll also give you some common-sense guidelines to follow, just as you would traveling anywhere else in the world.
As long as your flights are within our recommended times, you’ll be taken care of from the moment you pass through immigration.
Our pre-trip documentation will give you all the information you need – right down to bringing a refillable water bottle!
When booking your flight you have two airports to choose from, and we will PICK YOU UP at either one Saturday, April 18, 2026!
ITO, Hilo international Airport, is just 1-hour from our accommodations. However, flight costs tend to be more expensive, and the Island Aloha is not quite felt in the same way on arrival here.
KOA, Kona International Airport, in Kailua-Kona, is 2.5hrs drive from our retreat. Flight cost is generally 40-50% LESS into KONA, and you will get to in-joy a majestic and spirited journey across the island, through the active volcano region of Moana Loa!
Book to arrive no later than Saturday April 18, 2026, before 3:00pm(HST)
and depart no earlier than Sunday, April 26th, 2026, 2:00 pm (HST)
As long as you arrive on time, once you’ve cleared customs and officially stepped onto Hawaiian lava flow, you’ll be greeted with Aloha, by someone from our team.
From there on, you’ll be supported throughout your journey.
If you’re adventurous and have some extra time, The Big Island is well worth a few days of solo exploration! We’ll be happy to offer suggestions for your added enjoyment.
Yes, we always highly recommend travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and medical coverage.
Be sure to read the fine print, as policies can differ greatly.
While you’re at it, be sure to confirm with your travel insurance provider what Covid-19-related issues are covered and to what extent.
The climate is warm, humid, and tropical with considerable rainfall in the rainy season, due to its location on the windward side of the Big Island. The end of April is transition into a dryer summer, but light trade-wind showers often blow in and out swiftly, to refresh the day! You may want to bring a light poncho, until you’re ready to kick it all off and dance naked in the rain!
In April, temperatures are comfortable all day long, ranging from 15*C (59*F) in the mornings and climbing up to 27*C (80*F) in the head of the day.
Yes, you will be able to stay connected with your loved ones. Wifi is available everywhere at the Guest House.
That being said, the more you can disconnect from other worlds, and be present in the current reality, the greater the impact of this alchemical experience. So please plan to be “off the grid” as much as possible.
When you start packing for this epic adventure, plan for comfortable, casual and athletic excursions.
You will not need anything dressy, so leave those glamorous gowns and tuxedos at home!
Bring a couple warmer layers as mornings and evenings can be cool (avg 15*C), while the days can easily heat up to 25*C. Dressing in light, white layers is also a good way to protect yourself from the sun when you’re hiking the volcano!
Since we’ll be in the depths of the jungle, we’ll in-joy rain showers almost daily, amid the otherwise lush green and sun-sparkled paradise! You may want to include a light rain coat and water-repellent walking shoes … until you’re ready to throw it all to the wind and dance naked in the rain with me!
Oh, and swim suits are certainly welcome, but again, the chance to feel the warm tropical waters gently caress your naked skin from head to toe, is an opportunity seized only by the most courageous spirit! Is that YOU?!
Once you choose to join us, we will provide a more detailed list of what to bring and what not to bring.
By all means, please enjoy this beautiful, sacred land for as long as your heart desires!
The retreat is officially over at 11am Hawaii time on Sunday April 26th, but there are all kinds of options and opportunities at your fingertips! Pele is vast and inviting!
