You are invited to join us for a magical journey in Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park. This sacred ground is one of the most volcanically active places on Earth! The intention for this magical journey is "expanding your inner creative power". The primal energy of the park and its highly magnetic fields serve as a powerful catalyst for accessing this inner awareness.
Our first stop is the Kilauea Visitor Center. Here you'll learn about the park's relationship to the Island's dynamics and geography.

Next we visit Halema'uma'u Crater, the home of Pele, the fire goddess. This is a place of extraordinary wonder and quiet reflection. Here we carry a symbolic offering (ho'o kupa) of "ti", a sacred leaf to the Polynesians. Through this symbol, the Hawaiian spirits know we come to honor them and show our respect for all they create. Our next stop is the lava fields of Mauna Ulu. Created in the 1970's, this area is unique in its diversity of lava formations, mineral content found in the lava and scale: a gem of the national park.
Our last stop is the active lava fields at the coast. Here we walk on the lava allowing the Earth's magnetic energy to stimulate our inner creative fires. On some days, you will witness lava as it flows into the ocean. This eruption cycle now exceeds 20 years! A striking contrast to the older fields of Mauna Ulu.

Price & What is Included: Experienced guide(s) for the day, transportation, tarot readings, sacred ceremony, intuitive sharing, lunch & snacks, pick-up/drop-off in the Kona area 9am – 6pm. $175.00 per person. (Minimum 3 people).
