FIRE DANCE & FLOW RETREAT
Learn, Play, Discover & Unwind!
The Fire Dance & Flow Retreat on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu combines poi & staff workshops with pristine nature and adventure expeditions.
The event takes place at a private retreat center located in a secluded valley amidst majestic mountains & forests with a 15 minute walk to the beach!
Staff & poi lessons are balanced with playing, relaxing and discovering Oahu’s rich natural and cultural heritage. Participants can choose their level of challenge but overall this retreat is very conducive to taking it easy and enjoying the ride.
In addition to daily staff & poi classes & nightly fire jams, we’ll explore many amazing places around Oahu (private transportation organised): Pristine beaches, waterfalls, volcanoes.
Join us for adventure & fun in Oahu, Hawaii!
