Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make payments?

Yes, we offer payment plans through our third party payment services. Options may include Apple Pay Later, PayPal Pay Later, Affirm, or AfterPay. Other payment options may be available including WixPayments, Venmo, and Google Pay. All payment options accept major credit cards, and your bank information is not shared with Wild Women Hawai'i. You will see all options available to you at checkout.

Can I just come during the day and stay somewhere else at night?

Because this is a closed retreat, we ask that all guests put aside the time to experience the whole retreat, from welcome to closing, without leaving or coming and going. Not only is this beneficial for you, but it also maintains a safe, nurturing space for everyone during the retreat and keeps everyone "in the retreat zone" both physically and mentally. The intention is for everyone to dive into the whole experience while enjoying a much-needed break from our everyday life. Stepping in and out of that space would defeat the purpose and create a shift in energy for everyone.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely! Most women attend by themselves and leave as friends and sisters. Our retreats are designed for women traveling alone or with friends to strengthen our unity and build a worldwide sisterhood. Some of the benefits of attending alone include:
  • you can focus on yourself
  • no pressure to put your friend's needs first
  • you may be more open to new friendship
  • more freedom to do whatever you want
  • you may be more likely to let loose and let go

I don't live on the Big Island. Do you offer transportation?

Unfortunately, we don't offer transportation to and from our retreats, however, we encourage ride-sharing and we are happy to help get the word out so you can ride share with other retreat guests. The Hilo Airport offers taxi services, uber, and multiple rental car facilities. We always have several women who fly in from off the island, so carpooling or ride sharing is possible.

This is my first time in Hawaii. Will we explore the island?

Welcome to the Big Island! Wild Women Hawai'i retreats are not designed for exploration of the island. We settle into one natural location and sink into ourselves for the entire event. If you are new to the island, we recommend spending a few days beforehand to explore the island.

What is your niche?

The vast majority of women who attend our retreats range from ages 35 to 60 with a healthy (and welcome) scattering of younger and older women. We believe in the value of a multigenerational group gathering and sharing their stories. Many women who attend our retreats are residents of Hawai'i but women from all over the world are very welcome and wanted.
​

What should I bring?

You will receive a welcome packet a week or two before your retreat begins. The packet will include a packing list and other details that you will need to prepare for your retreat weekend.

Is Wild Women Hawai'i a licensed business?

Wild Women Hawai'i is proudly a licensed LLC, and we file and pay taxes to the State of Hawaii and the IRS.

I have special dietary needs. 

Our chef can adjust our prearranged vegetarian menu to suit most special dietary needs (ie: allergies, vegan, gluten-free). Please inform us on your registration form and/or catering questionnaire so we can plan ahead as we cannot accommodate last minute requests.
Can I bring a child or teenager if she is mature for her age?
Wild Women Hawai'i offers retreats for women 21 years of age and over. This rule is out of consideration and respect for everyone. Unfortunately at this time, there are no exceptions to the rule. Thank you for your understanding.
