Put yourself in a setting where nature reveals herself - Come home with insights from Pele, dolphins and each other. This spiritual adventure is designed to help you, through your communications with nature, to connect with yourself and your body.
Visualize yourself swimming in a sanctuary bay where giant turtles, myriads of multicolored fish, and wild dolphins approach you of their own accord. Each day will be a new adventure in healing. We will gather for an early morning meditation in our Balinese retreat center, later we will walk to the beach, and open our bodies to energy with Qi Qong and/or stretching. We will snorkel and swim in the warm clear healing waters. Maybe a pod of spinner dolphins will decide to come and play with us. As we swim with them, we will enjoy the spontaneous and miraculous healings which are freely given by these gifted healers. After breakfast we might go for a hike to the nearest Hawaiian sacred site or sit on a hammock and meditate in the quietness of our retreat center.

A personal memoir from Edee Howland, Interspecies Communications Expert and Deja Vu Tour Leader:
The dolphin adventure this past year, in the fall of 2009, was the best for me of all our trips so far. Each year there have been exquisite, miraculous moments. Perhaps because of the
state of the world and the recession, I savored every shining day and starlit night of last year's trip, as I stepped from that world into the truly magical world we enter on the coast of
Hawaii.
The spectacularly beautiful open-air retreat center that is our home for the week is both restful and exhilarating. We are looking right out, past cascading branches of flowering plants, to
the waves washing against the lave cliffs. We see the sunset over the broad expanse of ocean, and dolphins sometimes swim by, and humpback whales, too. We stroll down to an inviting
beach.
This year in one of our healing workshops, we looked at our own DNA and how the dolphins have the capacity to heal DNA. The next morning, I had one of the best swims I'd ever had with the
dolphins. I didn't connect it with the attention on DNA til the next evening, though it seemed very evident then. At the time, with the dolphins, I was too fascinated to think.
I swam towards where I heard the dolphins making all sorts of varied sounds. I didn't feel that I was exerting myself very much, though I realized later I had swum a long way, and that in
itself was unusual for me. (Part of the pleasure of the trip is that I feel stronger every day, with all the time in the water). The conditions were perfect, a calm, sunny
morning. I saw ahead of me dolphins swimming in an upward-swirling spiral, and I held still in the water, watching them form double-helix-like three dimensional formations. They were
not far below the surface of the water. The intricate intertwining of their bodies -- not actually linked, but fitting together in a most visually appealing way -- was a joy to see.
Following the sounds they were making, I swam a short distance towards another group that was swimming in the same formation. There were about twenty dolphins in each group. They were
clustered, but with plenty of space around each dolphin, not pressed tightly together. They were very active, and then every few minutes they would all be silent and still, suspended in the
blue water with the sunbeams shimmering on their bodies, and after another minute, they would resume making the varied sounds and swimming vigorously, each one arranged in a segment of the
spiral.
Throughout the rest of the trip and ever since, I felt something had shifted in me, something had been released so that I felt greater ease in my life. I felt lighter. Every night of
the trip, we experienced different sorts of healings, and we were a particularly delightful group on this trip -- every participant eager for adventure, growth, and healing. So I may
not know all the factors that contributed, but I know I returned to San Francisco and then on to Maine feeling restored and profoundly changed. All winter, as I enjoy the warmth from a
woodstove and smell the lovely smell of woodsmoke in the cold air, and tromp around in the snow, aqua waves and brilliant-hued tropical flowers and kind, generous dolphins are in my mind, too, in
my thoughts and dreams.
