By Invitation Only: Hōʻea Wellness Retreat



Step away from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day life to slow down to reconnect with yourself. 


Join Leslie Chen for a women's wellness retreat on the beautiful island of Maui. By invitation only, she brings together a group of kind, open-hearted women to experience the healing energy of Lumeria and upcountry Maui.


Five days and four nights of yoga, guided meditation, nourishing conversations, and curated experiences celebrating the beauty and culture of Hawaii.


Come home to yourself. 


April 19-23, 2027

Lumeria Maui







"She came to rest, to remember herself, to be held by the land and the women around her."


Unknown

Why Hōʻea and is it for me?

Hōʻea in Hawaiian means to arrive, to come home. As in arriving back to yourself.


Hōʻea is an intimate gathering of up to twelve women in one of the most sacred landscapes on earth. Over five sun-drenched days on the slopes of Haleakalā, we slow down completely - moving through yoga or meditation each morning, deep rest, nourishing food, and ceremony - 

arriving home to ourselves and to each other.


Hōʻea is for women who are:

- Seeking dedicated time to unplug - a break from the intense pace and commitments of their daily lives.

- Ready for a reset - space for solitude, reflection & personal growth combined with guided support to reflect back on what's been working and not, reconnect with their authentic self and consider what is possible next.

- Looking for connection - make new, long-lasting friendships with kick ass women you otherwise would not meet.

- Hawaii lovers - if you love Maui (or have never been before), here is a chance to immerse yourself in the aloha spirit of the island and the healing power of Lumeria.

"Leslie has a gift for building community. With excellent taste and discernment, she not only brings together women who naturally click but also curates physical environments that feel intentional, beautiful, and restorative.

Leslie helped me see that I am a leader, that I am worthy, and that everything I need is already within me. Leslie has a gift for helping you reconnect with that inner strength, that “goddess” energy, and giving you the confidence to let it come forward in a way that feels safe and authentic.

About your host

 "I want this to be a space where women who normally take care of everyone else get to pause, slow down, rest, restore, and reconnect with the most authentic version of themselves, with grace, kindness, and aloha." 

- Leslie Chen


For twenty years, Leslie built a career in corporate big tech that looked extraordinary from the outside. What most people did not see was a woman running on fumes, pushing so hard for so long that she went on medical leave twice, both times for her mental health. She knows what it is to be exhausted and still keep showing up, because everyone around her needed her to.


Leslie has called Lahaina home on and off since 2013, weaving herself into the island as a wedding planner, fitness instructor, hotel concierge, and now a coach. Every vendor and every detail of Hōʻea has been hand selected with years of island knowledge behind it - the venue, the practitioners, the experiences, even your swag bag.


Bringing women together in authentic community is at the heart of everything she does, and this retreat is the fullest expression of that.


Ten years ago, when Leslie was overwhelmed and afraid about returning to Microsoft and Seattle, she came to Lumeria for a five-day retreat to learn how to meditate for the first time. That week changed the direction of her life. Over the years she has returned to Lumeria again and again, seeking peace and rejuvenation, and it is meaningful for her to come back now and host this retreat, to introduce other women to the same magic that once held her. It will be truly a full circle moment.

Yes, It is strongly recommended. All retreat payments are non-refundable due to advance planning and secured accommodations and your airfare may be as well. Travel insurance may help protect your investment in case of illness, travel delays, emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances. It offers peace of mind so you can book more confidently. 


If you want to protect against needing to cancel for a personal reason not usually covered by standard travel insurance policies, ask about Cancel For Any Reason coverage, which typically needs to be added within ten to twenty-one days of your first payment.


Absolutely. The structure is designed specifically to create deep connection quickly. Most women will leave with a community that continues well beyond the retreat itself. 


Yes. There is intentional spaciousness in the schedule for rest, reflection, solitude if you prefer or opportunities for more connection. This retreat is especially meant for rest and restoration. Take a nap, get a massage, read a book in a hammock or enjoy the saltwater pool and hot tub.


Lumeria has an onsite spa that offers a variety of therapeutic services including massages, reflexology, reiki and more. Check out the wellness menu for services. 


Lumeria is upcountry Maui, where temperatures are cooler and the pace is slower. It is about 4 miles from the nearest accessible beach - Baldwin Beach in Paia. Lumeria does not provide any beach equipment beyond pool towels.


If this is your first time to Maui, we recommend extending your stay so you can relax at Lumeria during your free time and explore the rest of the island outside of the retreat. 


Staying in a different part of the island - whether you're seeking oceanfront luxury in Wailea, jungle adventures in Hana or great dining and shopping in Ka'anapali - is a great plan. 


Yes. After you register and indicate you'd like add extra nights, we will reach out and let you know who to contact at Lumeria to book. As part of Hōʻea Retreat, you are extended a room at a pre-negotiated discounted rate (subject to availability).
