Hawaii, the Big Island, has long been
known as a place of healing. Our Healing Island is blessed with
serene beauty, diverse ecosystems and natural abundance. The exquisite
beauty of the Island, the powerful energy and the spirit of aloha
contribute to the allure. The Island has a way of calling to people
and drawing them here.
Hawaii’s geographic location, as a crossroads in the Pacific,
has proven advantageous for the blending of cultural knowledge.
By incorporating practices from the East (China, Japan, and India)
and the West (allopathic medicine) with indigenous healing traditions
a holistic approach to health has formed. The heart of Five Mountains
Hawaii’s mission lies in recognizing the strengths of the
cultural traditions found in Hawaii and encouraging the integration
of the healing traditions brought to the Island.
Five Mountains Hawaii encourages health-related
educational tourism that provides opportunity to experience
a culture rooted in the balance and wisdom of nature. We encourage
meetings and conferences to learn about and embrace Hawaii
by beginning with a traditional Hawaiian opening and cultural
orientation to learn about the language, the people and the
island way of life. Bringing knowledge of Native Hawaiian
culture to the participants encourages them to be understanding
and respectful of tradition in their travels around the Island.
This benefits our Island’s communities and gives a new
reverence for Hawaii, its people, land and culture.
The Big Island is home to exquisite world-class
resorts, spas, fitness and retreat facilities. Accommodations
range from 5-star pampered luxury to fun tree-houses. Many
retreat centers as well as spas offer mind-body-spirit restorative
programs. For groups we will provide speakers and experiences
of indigenous healing traditions, Western/allopathic medicine
as well as integrative healers and medical practitioners.
From resort or retreat contract negotiation to providing speakers
or activities, let us know how we can enhance your group’s
visit to our Healing Island. These offerings amid the abundance
of pristine natural resources and beauty make Hawaii a truly
unique Healing Island.
