November 1 to 22, 2026
Kalapana, Hawaii
Wake into the green quiet of the Big Island and make your own body the first practice of the day.
This Tantra retreat in Hawaiʻi initiates you into the somatic and spiritual lineage I teach
Choose your length—One week, two, or the full three, November 1 through 22, 2026.
This is also for aspiring teachers, each week earns you 25 Living Tantra certification credits, and yoga teachers can get Yoga Alliance continuing education hours (YACEP), so your time on the land advances your path as a practitioner and a teacher.
You may also choose to incorporate a guided detox experience into your stay, with nourishing meals, restorative practices, and time in nature designed to support renewal, cleansing, and deeper connection with yourself. Whether you come for a week or the full immersion, you'll have the opportunity to reset, recharge, and return home feeling refreshed and inspired.
Meet your Guide

Meet your Guide 🏵
Christine Marie Mason is a practitioner and teacher of tantra and devotional practice, a writer, retreat host, and lover of beauty, song, and embodied spirituality.
Over the years, she has created and led retreats and immersions around the world, weaving classical tantric lineages, neuroscience, trauma-informed somatics, and devotional arts.
Throughout the immersion, she is joined by guest teachers and guides whose presence brings even more color and depth to the experience.
Who this is for:
For practitioners and committed students who are ready to stand inside the transmission lineage to teach from it.
For those who want to boost their energy, clarity and vitality, and pair daily practice with a full detox.
For those who feel the tradition calling and don't need to know where it leads yet.
Every track runs on the same daily rhythm: morning sadhana and embodied inquiry. Teaching topics and practices with varying levels of depth.
Give it three weeks this November, give yourself this opening into new possibilities.

THE PLACE
Our host property encompasses 10 fecund acres in Kalapana, on the Puna coast of Hawaiʻi Island (also known as the Big Island). There are more than 70 unique tropical gardens, including a farm garden and food forest, plus two ponds and a 1⁄2 mile walking trail loop. Guests are lodged in one of three houses or private cabins that host retreat guests, plus an open air yoga shala, a treatment room, massage room and 3,600 sq ft pool and spa.
Kalapana enjoys a tropical, continuously wet climate that’s warm year-round. Daytime highs stay comfortably between 75°F and 82°F, with nighttime lows hovering around 64°F to 72°F—rarely dropping below 60°F or exceeding the low 80s. Rainfall occurs throughout the year, averaging around 2–4 inches monthly, with the wettest period in winter (October through April) and a slightly drier window in summer (May to September). Cloud cover is frequent, and trade winds bring breezy conditions, especially in summer. Kalapana offers a steady, mild tropical climate with consistent warmth, humidity, and a lush green landscape.
Kalapana's wild beauty is amplified by a blend of rare birds — we have a giant flock of the little yellow-green ʻAmakihi that call the land home, and frequent hawk visitations. Local marine life, giant sea turtles, dolphins and much more make Hawai’i Island unique in the world.
Throughout the year in Kalapana, there are approximatrely 12 hours of daylight (11 at peak of winter, and 13 hours at peak summer). We are early to rise, and 9 pm is also known as “Puna midnight”. This equanimous sun makes for healthy and balanced rest.
Hawaiian indigenous religion, rooted in a deep reverence for nature and ancestral spirits, honors a pantheon of gods and goddesses—such as the volcano goddess Pele —and is expressed through chants, hula, rituals, and the concept of mana, or spiritual power. For those interested in connecting with the spirit of Aloha, we offer that oppportunity during your stay. Kalapana is also a meaningful local hub within the wider indigenous kingdom movement.
We are off-grid in the tropics so we do sometimes have to deal with bugs, wild bores, power outages, or tropical weather.
