Updated: Nov 16



Are you ready for an experience that rejuvenates your spirit, deepens your understanding of self, and connects you with like-minded souls in one of the world’s most awe-inspiring locations? We invite you to join us for Journey in Paradise, a 7-day, 6-night retreat on the shores of Waikiki Beach in Oahu, Hawaii, from March 11-17, 2025. This retreat promises a powerful blend of workshops, Hawaiian culture, and personal transformation in an intimate, supportive setting.


Why Join Us?

Imagine starting each day with the soft ocean breeze and warm sun of Waikiki Beach, preparing for days filled with profound workshops, cultural immersion, and powerful spiritual teachings. Journey in Paradise brings together three exceptional teachers—Dr. Lena Rodriguez, Jen, and Dave—each offering unique insights and expertise that will guide you on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. This retreat is for those looking to reconnect with their inner purpose, embrace personal healing, and learn new spiritual practices to integrate into daily life


Meet the Instructors

Jen Bushman

Jen’s spiritual journey began in childhood, marked by profound experiences that connected her with spirit guides and revealed her unique gifts. Having lived in Hawaii for a decade, Jen’s connection to Oahu runs deep. During her time there, she worked with renowned chefs, became a certified sommelier, and immersed herself in the island's vibrant culinary and spiritual culture. Jen will lead sessions on soul contracts and the Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono, assisting participants in recognizing that soul contracts contribute to repetitive behavior patterns and guiding them in transmuting the energy behind these cycles, cultivating inner contentment and ease, and aligning with their true path.


Dr. Lena Rodriguez

A sociologist and anthropologist deeply connected to Polynesian culture, Lena merges her academic expertise with over 20 years as a yoga instructor. As the host of Tarot Down Under on YouTube, Lena has guided thousands toward clarity and personal insight. Her compassionate approach combines anthropology, yoga, and Polynesian wisdom to provide a holistic view of wellness. Lena will lead workshops that blend physical, mental, and spiritual practices, empowering participants to connect deeply with themselves and others.


Dave Johnson

A gifted medium, channeler, and shaman, Dave brings a powerful connection to spirit guides and higher realms. Through his Moonride platform, he offers transformative experiences in channeling, past-life regression, and shamanic practices. Dave will guide you on journeys to connect with power animals and spirit guides, empowering you with tools to channel confidently and safely. His workshops will open new doors to personal insights and

lifelong guidance from the spiritual realm.

Yes, that is Paradise! How I would love to join you but can't. I've just rehomed a mistreated dog with big problems. Slowly, she's re-learning about life and trust without pressure and gentle training. I've just lost two of my three very old rescued Chihauhaus 18 & 20yr but still have little Winnie who needs tablets 3 times daily.

My love and thoughts will go out to you while I enjoy "my Paradise" at home with my fur babies.

Have a wonderful time, Love and light. Angela
