Day 4 Introduction to the Energy Medicine, Homeopathy - workshop this AM - Study an exciting and growing system of medicine that is in use all over the world and is coming to popularity again in the United States. In homeopathy the individual is treated, not the disease, using minute, non-toxic doses of plant, mineral, animal or other substances. These substances stimulate the body's own natural healing energies and are very easy to use. Explore the principles of homeopathic medicine and come away knowing how to treat acute conditions with substances that have been proven to be safe, natural and effective. We will focus on how to use homeopathy for minor acutes and first aid. This afternoon, then time for beach, warm ocean springs, steam vents, relaxing.
Day 5 Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Time to view fascinating films in the visitor center giving history of the island & the volcano; the Volcano Art Center; & the Jaggar Museum overlooking Halemaumau Crater, with beautiful displays on vulcanology. We will drive Crater Rim Drive through the ohia forest to the Thurston Lava Tube, a 450-foot lava-tube tunnel set amid a fern forest. We will then hike down into Kilauea Iki Crater for a meditation. This particular vent was active in 1959 spewing lava and now is like being on the moon with steam venting all throughout the crater floor. If there are current active lava flows in the park, we will attempt to drive or walk to them. In other years, Well Within groups have had incredible experiences hiking to lava flows & viewing & filming them. Of course this all depends on Pele.
