The Depths of Being

Hawaii is a land emblematic of change. From the eroding crash of ocean waves to lava flows that constantly reshape the landscape, the Hawaiian islands are the perfect location to consider how the form of the present moment is always in flux.

And it just so happens that the islands are utterly beautiful.

With its green hills, bamboo forests, vast beaches, and deep blue waters, Maui is one of the jewels of the Hawaiian archipelago. Eckhart and Kim are pleased to be able to share a retreat in such an inspiring location. Whether you’re strolling through the resort’s winding garden paths or basking on local beaches, the Wailea Beach Resort - Marriot provides wonderful opportunities to relax and enjoy the best Maui has to offer. Not only will The Depths of Being enrich your spiritual journey, it will also serve as a soothing invitation to the stillness of the present moment—just as it is.

The elegantly redesigned Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott welcomes guests with remarkable views of the Pacific Ocean. Located on the water's edge, the resort invites guests to take advantage of white sand beaches, a tranquil spa, and sparkling outdoor pools. Every room and suite has been updated with ocean-inspired decor and includes mini-refrigerators, plush bedding, and wifi. Large balconies and oversized lanai reveal stunning views, including vibrant sunsets and the occasional humpback whale. When you want to explore, you are steps from Wailea and Ulua Beaches, as well as a short walk from Wailea shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

The Wailea Beach Resort is currently sold out of rooms in our special group block. Please check back through this hotel registration link, as canceled rooms will open up here until 30 days before the retreat begins. There are many other good hotel options in the area that can be found through popular hotel booking sites.

The Wailea Beach Resort–Marriott has worked in conjunction with Marriott International to ensure their property meets and exceeds COVID safety standards. Please take the time to review their commitment to their guests and community with whattoexpect.marriott.com/hnmmc.
