For Hawaii residents: a whole root ceremony on Kauaʻi
Vital Kauaʻi is a legally established church on Kauaʻi’s North Shore. Members from Hawaii join a thirteen-week journey: six weeks of preparation from home, one week on the island with two held nights with the whole root in ceremony, and six weeks of integration after. Guides, a medical provider, somatic practitioners and integration coaches walk with each member through all of it.
Preparation, from Hawaii
A medical consultation and health review, somatic and nervous-system preparation, and weekly guidance through the member portal. All of it happens from home, on Zoom, before travel.
Ceremony, on Kauaʻi
Two nights with the whole root in nature, one-on-one or in a container of up to three, with experienced guides and the medical provider present overnight. An EKG on-island comes first.
Integration, back in Hawaii
Six weekly one-on-one calls with an integration coach, plus somatic sessions, so what the root shows you becomes how you live, lead and create at home.
