Trade winds, soft floor under your feet, and a heart-opening afternoon with Samantha Sweetwater at Rainbow Shala. A $33 reset your spirit will thank you for.
Ever felt the trade winds wipe your worries clean?

Imagine stepping barefoot onto the warm wood at Rainbow Shala, afternoon light pouring through the palms. The air smells like plumeria and palo santo. You exhale, and the room exhales with you. This is Alchemy of Enlifenment: The 7 Assumptions — the kind of session that leaves you walking out lighter than you walked in.
What to expect
This isn’t a lecture. It’s an embodied transmission — the kind where insight lands in your bones.
You’ll drop into breath, simple movement, and grounded practices that meet you right where you are. Samantha weaves heart-centered wisdom with practical tools for living well in complex times. Expect moments of quiet clarity, a few good laughs, and that sweet feeling of your nervous system saying, “Mahalo.”
Bring a journal if you love jotting down aha moments. There’s space to integrate, reflect, and connect with kindred spirits — the kind of ʻohana you’re stoked to see again around the island.
