MAUI GODDESS RETREAT
with
Apela Colorado
Kathy Jones
Lydia Ruyle
February 20-26, 2011
The Goddess Maui Retreat is based in Lahaina West Maui, home of the most ancient
sacred site on the islands, Mokuʼula, the fresh water pond and isle of the Kihawahine.
Kihawahine is the life energy of fresh water.
We will explore Herstories, visit Her sacred places, enjoy Her waters, taste Her bounty,
feel Her breezes, see Her beauty.
Our ceremonial spaces will be Pakala, Apelaʼs home which adjoins the ancient pond
site, and the Lahaina Jodo Buddhist Mission with its gorgeous pristine beach.
Pakala means the enclosure of the sunʼs rays and the holding of something secret and
sacred like Maui and Mother Earth.
The Lahaina Jodo Mission blends Japanese and Western styles and is the perfect place
for our ritual and creative work in a circle of wise women.

Every seat maintains a sense of intimacy and interaction with the performance.
Traditional theatre is blended with acrobatic feats of strength and beauty. Hula is
combined with modern dance. Rich costumes, lighting and stage design are woven
together into a filigree of fantastic images drawn from Hawaiian legend and history.
‘Ulalena explores relationships between people, nature and mythology. The use of
metaphors integrates Hawaiian chants and dances, original music and choreography,
lighting and projections to support the talents of unique performers.
‘Ulalena is a journey where the moment-to-moment excitement of self-discovery is the
destination.
