Private Customized Retreats for your
Personal Evolution
I’ve come to understand that personal dissatisfaction and illness is a manifestation of the spirit's innate desire for growth. Recognizing the profound connection between spirit, mind, and body, suggests that true healing initiates at the spiritual level, influencing the mind, and ultimately, manifesting transformative effects within the body.
As a spiritual mentor, guide, life coach, whatever name you call it, I aim to guide and re-connect you to your own unique spirit, accessing the valuable information it holds. By closely observing your psychology and engaging in meaningful dialogue, I strive to understand both your conscious and unconscious thought patterns that may be hindering your personal growth.
In addition to these practices, I incorporate tailored physical movements to help you establish a deeper connection with your body, promoting alignment and comfort. It's important to note that I only recommend movements that are suitable for your current physical state.
Robin Duryea's relatable approach empowers you to navigate your journey sincerely and honestly, fostering feelings of clarity and possibility. Through her compassionate guidance, she adeptly acknowledges your unique personality and mentality, helping you cut through your clutter with clarity and purpose, ensuring the process is both accessible and impactful.
My approach combines elements of spiritual mentoring, therapy, movement and philosophies from the tibetan buddhist, yogic and other traditions. I draw from a rich tapestry of teachings, influenced by my studies with Janet Stone and Stephanie Snyder during my time in San Francisco, as well as the profound wisdom of Carolyn Myss and Pema Chödrön. Throughout our sessions, we will engage in various transformative modalities, including thought-provoking dialogue and inquiries to awaken and inspire deeper desires and needs. We will explore conversation and communication practices, guided meditations, movement, mantras, visualization, writing prompts, somatic hypnotherapy, and time spent connecting with the natural Hawaiian elements.
These methods are designed to facilitate release, promote perspective, adaptability, influence healthy living, summon courage, refine your vision, rediscover possibility and ultimately leave you feeling empowered. I am committed to providing a professional, experienced, and honest approach in a supportive and inviting atmosphere as we embark on this journey together.
To ensure the continuity of your progress, our time together will culminate in the creation of a personalized "prescription" for you to take home. This prescription will serve as a roadmap for you to implement and maintain the progress you've achieved during our sessions.
Located on a sustainable sanctuary along the Puna Coastline on the Big Island of Hawaii, your customized retreat will also include valuable time spent in nature, connecting with the earth's power, and practices rooted in ancient wisdom, timeless intuition, and the natural flow, helping you access what you want and need to live a bold and creative life.
This is a unique opportunity for those ready to invest in themselves.

Q & A With Robin
-
What is the most important quality to develop for personal growth?Discipline. In the Western context, discipline often has a negative connotation, associated with suppression and oppression. However, the root meaning of discipline is 'disciple,' which refers to someone who dedicates themselves wholeheartedly to a subject they love. Whether it's the violin, painting, health, or any other passion, embracing discipline can guide you toward what you truly love. At Kūaloli Retreats, we encourage guests to immerse themselves in their interests and passions, fostering personal growth and transformation.
-
What do I love about teaching?I’m a rebel at heart so my passion for teaching lies in assisting individuals to reclaim their power over their health, wealth, vitality, relationships, passions, perspectives and what's possible. We're not here to suffer and spend our days clocking in and out while up-holding ideas that keep us stuck. We're here to be bold, excited, and challenged till the end.
-
What’s a truth many people forget?An essential truth that so many dismiss, ignore or forget is that you perpetually hold the power of choice. The decision is ultimately and always yours. While the available options may not always be favorable in the moment, the key realization is that you are never without a choice. Sometimes hard decisions have to be made. And, that's ok. It is within your control to allow life's challenges to either wound you or contribute to your wisdom.

-
What is a common cultural misconception about self-awareness?A prevalent cultural misunderstanding is the notion that individuals lack self-awareness regarding their bodies, hearts, and minds. This misconception has led many away from their innate knowledge, wisdom, and capacity for self-regulation and self-healing. At Kūaloli Retreats, we believe that individuals do possess this knowledge. The inclination to feign ignorance often serves as a means to alleviate the discomfort associated with change and evade responsibility. We encourage our guests to reconnect with their inner wisdom and embrace the capacity for self-healing.

-
What is your most significant life accomplishment?My most significant life accomplishment is overcoming my inner challenges and limitations. This internal growth has led me to a place of alignment, lightness, freedom, and creativity, even in times of challenge. At Kūaloli Retreats, we emphasize the importance of personal evolution and maintaining a healthy, positive perspective. Life's challenges no longer feel overwhelming or unsolvable, and I take chances that foster growth. Staying true to what feels right and engaging with my own evolution daily is a practice I continue to uphold.
-
Can you recommend a podcast for personal growth?Yes, I highly recommend 'Ancient Wisdom Today' by Shaman Durek. This podcast offers valuable insights and wisdom that align with the transformative experiences we offer at Kūaloli Retreats. It's a great resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of personal growth and spiritual development.
-
What kind of support do you offer at Kūaloli Retreats?At Kūaloli Retreats, we focus on aiding individuals in recognizing and addressing their blind spots. We provide tools to foster awareness of habits and patterns of thoughts and actions that may be holding you back. Our approach encourages guests to seize opportunities and possibilities, bringing more ease into their lives, reigniting and strengthening intuition and tenacity, and cultivating trust in oneself and the universal laws. When confronted with significant decisions, we often employ a reflective practice—imagining oneself on their deathbed, looking back at their present position, and contemplating what their future self would advocate: playing it safe or taking bold steps.
