Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats Inc

Nestled on the peaceful Kohala Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats offers a unique healing environment designed for individuals affected by cancer and other chronic illnesses. Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty and infused with its powerful healing energy, Kokolulu provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing space to rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit.

Approach:

Kokolulu’s retreats integrate both Eastern and Western healing practices, combining ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-based techniques. The focus is on empowering guests with tools and knowledge to continue their healing beyond the retreat. The retreats are not medical treatments, but rather complement conventional care by teaching practices that support holistic self-healing and wellness.

Practices include:

– Zhineng Qigong: A form of moving meditation that fosters healing through focused breathing, gentle movement, visualization, and mindfulness. This powerful method supports emotional balance, mental clarity, and physical strength.
– The “Medicine-less” Healing Program: Designed to help participants detoxify from environmental stress and the side effects of medical treatments. Emphasizing relaxation, self-awareness, and gentle activity, this program encourages deep recovery through practical, sustainable lifestyle practices.
– Food as Medicine: The on-site organic farm provides healing foods and medicinal herbs while offering education on how nutrition can play a critical role in reversing or mitigating the symptoms of chronic disease.

Retreat Programs:

There are two main types of healing retreats offered at Kokolulu:

1. Zhineng Qigong Healing Retreats
2. Chronic Illness, Pain & Cancer Healing Retreats

Each retreat includes personalized attention from trained professionals, including co-founders Lew Whitney and Karin Cooke, RN, as well as compassionate guidance within an intimate setting.

Location:

The retreats take place at Kokolulu Farm in Hawi, a serene community in North Kohala on Hawaii’s Big Island. Known as the “healing island,” Hawaii’s natural elements contribute to a sense of restoration. Guests are immersed in lush surroundings, nourished by fresh farm-grown food, and inspired by the island’s calming energy.

Important Notes:

– Kokolulu is not a hospital or clinical treatment center.
– The retreats are designed as complementary pathways for healing and are not intended to replace conventional medical treatment.

Whether you are on a recovery journey, seeking serenity, or looking to enhance your overall wellness, Kokolulu Farm offers an environment where deep healing can begin.
