YOUR HAWAIʻI JOURNEY

A personalized week of renewal, discovery, and transformation

Kona, Hawaiʻi Island

Come experience the Big Island through the eyes of someone who loves this land and calls it home.

I’ve spent years discovering the beaches that restore me, the places that fill me with wonder, the restaurants I return to again and again, and the people who make this community so special. I would love to share some of my Hawaiʻi with you.

Your private experience will be designed around what you need during this season of your life. We may spend time together at one of my favorite beaches, enjoy a memorable meal, visit a meaningful place, practice yoga or meditation on the beach, or have a Career Zen conversation overlooking the ocean.

You will also have the freedom to rent a car and explore the island at your own pace. I’ll help you create a personalized guide filled with recommendations for beaches, scenic drives, local food, cultural experiences, nature, adventure, and restorative places that fit your interests and energy.

This is your time to breathe, reconnect with yourself, and experience what becomes possible when you step away from everyday life.

When you step out of your daily environment, something powerful happens.

A Private Retreat in Kona creates a rare container: time, space, nature, and focused 1:1 support. You’re not trying to figure out your life between meetings, emails, deadlines, and stress. You’re fully in it.

Most Career Zen clients move through their transformation over 2 to 3 months. Your Hawaii retreat is the deep reset and accelerated clarity container that helps you move forward. Within a week, your nervous system softens and your truth comes through more clearly. The island embraces you, and transformation happens quickly.

This is what becomes possible when you give yourself space to actually hear yourself again.

“I would advise anyone who feels stuck or burned out to work with Dr. Lynn. Her program revealed paths and opportunities that I wouldn’t have previously considered for myself.  The coaching that she provided was encouraging and uplifting while the chance to experience my coaching sessions in Kona was the icing on the cake. This gorgeous, tranquil setting allows your mind to relax and be more open to new possibilities in your career and life. I came to the Career Zen Kona Retreat unsure of my next steps, but I left with peace, clarity and courage to pursue a life that is purposeful to me.”

SAMPLE RHYTHM

Every journey unfolds differently. This sample seven-day itinerary illustrates how we might blend meaningful time together with the freedom to explore Hawaiʻi Island at your own pace.

DAY ONE: ARRIVE AND EXHALE

Settle into your accommodations, pick up your rental car, and ease into island time. We'll meet for a welcome conversation, get to know one another, discuss the week ahead, and perhaps share dinner or watch the sunset together.

DAY TWO: BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY

We'll meet for our first private coaching session at one of my favorite places on the island. Whether we're enjoying a peaceful beach, a scenic overlook, or a local café, this day is about slowing down, becoming present, and setting intentions for your journey.

DAY THREE: EXPLORE YOUR WAY

Today is yours to discover the island using your personalized Hawaiʻi guide. You might spend the day at a secluded beach, visit a coffee farm, browse a farmers market, take a scenic drive, or simply relax with a good book by the ocean. Follow your curiosity.

DAY FOUR: GO DEEPER

We'll reconnect for another coaching or wellness session and spend time together at another meaningful location. This is an opportunity to reflect on what you've been noticing, explore new insights, and continue creating the life you want beyond this trip.

DAY FIVE: ADVENTURE OR REST

Today is intentionally open.

Perhaps you'll explore Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, snorkel in crystal-clear water, visit a botanical garden, or drive somewhere you've been wanting to experience. Or perhaps your greatest adventure is giving yourself permission to rest.

I'll offer recommendations based on your interests, the weather, ocean conditions, and local happenings.

DAY SIX: CELEBRATE THE JOURNEY

We'll share one final experience together—perhaps a favorite meal, a beautiful beach, or a place that feels especially meaningful. We'll celebrate how far you've come, reflect on your week, and talk about how to carry this renewed perspective home with you.

DAY SEVEN: INTEGRATE AND DEPART

Before you leave the island, we'll meet for a closing conversation to gather the lessons, insights, and intentions that emerged during your time in Hawaiʻi. You'll return home with practical next steps, personalized resources, and, I hope, a deeper connection to yourself.

THE ISLAND IS CALLING

Perhaps you need rest.

Perhaps you are searching for direction.

Perhaps you are ready to come alive again.

Your journey will begin with who you are, what you need, and what you hope to discover.

Come experience a few of my favorite places. Meet some of the people who make this community feel like home. Explore the rest of the island with a personalized guide created especially for you.

Allow the ocean, lava, sunlight, culture, and creative energy of Hawaiʻi Island to become part of your transformation.

Private experiences begin at $2,000.

Availability is limited and offered during select times when Dr. Lynn is living in Kona.

I had the Private Career Retreat in Hawaii with Dr. Lynn and it was life-changing! It gave me a chance to step away from my day-to-day routine so that I could truly open up to all the possibilities for my next career phase. Each day’s session was crafted to build a life vision and practical next steps that I could carry home with me. I highly recommend traveling to Kona to work with Dr. Lynn!” - Michelle

CHOOSE YOUR JOURNEY

Each private Hawaiʻi experience begins with a conversation and a personalized intake form. Your journey may center primarily around one of the following themes or combine elements from all three.

No two private journeys will be exactly alike. Some guests want several hours of coaching and reflection. Others want a beautiful introduction to my favorite places and thoughtful recommendations for the rest of their trip. Some need deep rest. Some want clarity. Some want laughter, movement, discovery, and a reminder that life can still surprise them.

Let’s customize your dream retreat!
