You’ve achieved success, yet something essential is calling for attention.
The Chrysalis Experience offers custom wellness retreats for corporate leaders and change-makers standing at a threshold: seeking clarity, renewed purpose, and a deeper alignment between who they are and how they lead.
Held on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, this immersive experience offers space away from noise, urgency, and expectation. Surrounded by lush landscapes and ancient wisdom, participants are guided through reflection, recalibration, and embodied leadership practices designed to restore clarity and inner authority.
The experience
Reverence
Our transformational Morning Sessions ask you to return to center - to look inside at the tender places that drive you, shape you, hold you. This sacred pause invites a softening and exploration of your life. Who are you? And how do you long to move in this world?
Connection
A fully unplugged experience — ditch your device and find yourself reconnected to nature, others, and your most honest self.
Play
Through nature art and connection with your inner child, play brings us back to center. It balances the transformational work done in morning sessions, and brings light, curiosity and purpose back into your life.
Woven through your days will be invitations to find play, freedom of movement, and joyful artistic creativity.
Sustainability
Our menu is guided by what is in season, crafted around the fresh offerings from the sea, and shaped by the ‘aina (land which feeds us). At Chrysalis, over 70% of the ingredients used in your meals come directly from the farms surrounding the retreat center.
Service
Strengthen the island through sincerely engaging with its culture. You will spend time working the Lo’i - a restored and ancient farming system used pre-colonization and restored and tended by the Ahupua’a Restoration Initiative.
Culture
Hawai’i is a living, breathing, current and ancient entity - not a tourist destination. Which is why a cornerstone of Chrysalis is to serve the local economy, community, and land. We interrupt the tourist trap, the imported food system model, and the extractive nature of tourism.
