Retreat at Hale Pūnana (The Nest)-Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary-Mindfulness Forest Bathing, Planting Ceremony & Sound Bath
Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary的点评
点评:5 out of 5 -Excellent
I attended a 5 day retreat located at Hale Pūnana (The Nest), a beautiful home emerged in the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary. We went on a forest bathing and mindfulness walk privately guided by the owner, Nadara who just embodied pure peace.
Midway through we paused and shared hot cup of Māmaki tea and I experienced an energetic interaction with this magnificent tree, it was the day I became a tree and the tree became me. I can’t explain the feeling, emotion, nor the healing that took place in that moment.
We continue along the forest path taking in the sound, smell, textures, and colors of each species of plants. We stopped to break ground and plant a few new trees. Being part of the planting ceremony allowed me to have an intimate connection with the forest. I was able to plant in gratitude and love. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was what Nadara’s father felt when he started planting the forest back in 1982. Knowing that I am now a part of growing the sanctuary was so special.
The following day Nadara held a sunset sound bath at her gorgeous open air pavilion. We were surrounded with bird calls, aromas of the Cloud Forest, and a light island breeze. I experienced a feeling of profound peace and serenity as the healing vibrations entered my body and gently removed what no longer served me.
I had no expectations for this retreat, just an open mind and heart. I walked into an opportunity to embody an understanding of oneness on a level that left me speechless. I felt “held” by the energy at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary and nestled into the cozy comfort of Hale Pūnana (The Nest).
I walked out of the sanctuary a forever changed human. The trees somehow brought harmony to my mind, body, and spirit. This location was perfect for my healing retreat. An experience I’ll never forget and a place on earth that I will forever hold love and gratitude for.

我参加了在哈雷普纳纳(Hale Pūnana,意为“巢穴”)举办的为期五天的静修活动。哈雷普纳纳是一座美丽的家园,坐落在科纳云雾森林保护区内。我们进行了一次森林浴和正念漫步,由主人纳达拉(Nadara)亲自带领。她浑身散发着纯粹的平和。
途中,我们停下来,一起享用了一杯热腾腾的玛玛基茶。我与这棵雄伟的树产生了一种能量上的互动。那天,我仿佛变成了一棵树,而这棵树也变成了我。我无法用语言来形容那一刻的感受、情绪以及所经历的疗愈。
我们继续沿着森林小径前行,感受着每一种植物的声音、气味、质感和色彩。我们停下来破土,种下了几棵新树。参与植树仪式让我与森林建立了一种亲密的联系。我怀着感恩和爱种下了它们。我不禁思忖,这是否就是纳达拉的父亲在1982年开始植树造林时的感受。如今,我竟能参与到这片圣地的建设中,这感觉无比特别。
第二天,纳达拉在她那美丽的露天凉亭里举办了一场日落颂钵疗愈。我们被鸟鸣声、云雾森林的芬芳和轻柔的海风环绕。疗愈的能量涌入我的身体,温柔地带走了那些不再对我有益的东西,我感受到了一种深沉的平静与安宁。
我对这次静修没有任何期待,只是敞开了心扉。我走进了这片圣地,体验到了一种超越言语所能表达的合一之美。我感到自己被科纳云雾森林保护区的能量所“拥抱”,并舒适地栖息在温馨的“巢穴”(Hale Pūnana)之中。
走出保护区时,我已焕然一新。树木以某种方式为我的身心带来了和谐。这里是我疗愈之旅的完美之地。一段我永生难忘的经历,以及一个我将永远充满爱与感激的地方。
