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.

The people behind the magic

Samantha Sweetwater is known for wise, embodied leadership — the kind that feels gentle and powerful at the same time. Her guidance is accessible, real, and beautifully human.

Hosted by Good Gatherings, this circle centers community care and presence. No performance, no pretense — just folks showing up with open hearts.
