Announcement from Pahoa, Big Island, Hawaii

After more than 36 years of service, Kalani’s Co-Founder and Executive Director is retiring. Kalani, a 501(c)(3) non-profit retreat center and intentional community, is seeking a dynamic and experienced professional to serve as its full-time Executive Director.

Kalani is Hawaii’s largest retreat center, and a leading non-governmental provider of recreational and cultural services. Serving Puna, the poorest but fastest growing district in Hawaii, Kalani also provides substantial services to thousands of visitors annually. The Executive Director is a vibrant community leader capable of directing the activities of the retreat center and its affiliate properties, while guiding Kalani’s strategic planning process for sustainability and 30-year growth plan. Kalani’s goal, represented in Hawaiian culture by the ‘Io (hawk) and Honu (turtle), is to move forward with peace and compassion, while having a clear overview of what is necessary to prosper.

Which Centres attended the 2012 Gathering?

In May 2012, 37 people representing 27 centres in 16 countries on five continents gathered together at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland for the International Holistic Centres Gathering. Together we explored our unity in diversity, shared about our work and service in the world, exchanged ideas, challenges and experience. It was a time of learning from one another, in the spirit of supporting the planetary transformation that is unfolding in the world.

How the Gathering led me to Findhorn

The newsletter from Kalani Oceanside Retreat popped into my inbox and I scrolled down the page, viewing the different events. The heading “2010 Retreat Center’s Conference“ captured my interest immediately.

For two years I’d been the Retreats Manager of Byron Yoga Centre in Byron Bay, a small beach town and conscious community on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. I lived in a beautiful place and loved my work, however I had the growing sense a new phase in my life was on the horizon.

Reading the description of the conference it was clearly an opportunity to meet my peers and I felt a strong intuition to participate. “Connect with Retreat Center Managers from different parts of the world. Learn and grow from participating in conference sessions on sustainability, marketing in a down-economy, connecting to the world-community, continued personal transformation, sharing what works and what doesn’t and “holding space” for a world in need of change and growth.”

There is a planetary transformation of consciousness and these centers give people hope.
