Climbing the steep little road to Mahalo Aina Sanctuary, I felt like I was entering another dimension. The breathtaking 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean, often punctuated with rainbows, stretches as far as you can see to the North and South.
Fabi and Steven’s Swift Wind Herd of tamed wild horses roam freely on the spacious property. Fabi is a gifted body worker, herbalist, intuitive and horse whisperer. I recommend the Horses and Bodywork Intensive Healing Session. I experienced deep healing, ancestral reconnecting and personal growth and peace that I carry home with me back on the mainland.
The sanctuary is located in a less-touristy, more local setting, and was a perfect homebase for exploring the rest of the Big Island. it’s about 40 minutes to Hilo Airport and whatever shopping you need, , and 5 minutes from the Papa’aloha Country Store, which has delicious home cooked meals and lots of supplies for the shared kitchen at Mahalo Aina.
Fabi and Steven are down to earth, generous and lovely hosts. I’m already dreaming of my return to Mahalo Aina… It really is a place where my dreams came true.
