About the Retreat

Chaos as a Threshold

Something is shifting beneath the surface of ordinary life — in the world, in our institutions, in our sense of what is stable and trustworthy.

The pace of change is outrunning our capacity to make meaning of it, and many of us feel it in the body, in our dreams, in a restlessness that cannot be quieted by the usual remedies.

This 5-day, 4-night immersive gathering at Manta Soul™ on the Big Island of Hawaii is an invitation to stop running from the chaos and turn toward it — to find, in the very heart of upheaval, the soul’s deeper calling.

When the World Is Unstable, the Soul Speaks Differently

Rooted in the traditions of Jungian, transpersonal, archetypal, and depth psychologies, this gathering draws on the understanding that times of collective crisis are also times of profound psychological and spiritual opportunity.

Jung understood that chaos is not the enemy of the soul — it is often the very condition in which the soul most powerfully speaks. Here, held by the healing presence of Hawaii’s ancient volcanic landscape and the rhythms of the natural world, you will be invited to listen.

Neuroscience, Uncertainty, and Resilience

Dr. Christophe Morin, neuroscientist, media psychologist, and consciousness researcher, brings the science of neurospirituality into direct conversation with these turbulent times.

Together, we explore how the brain responds to uncertainty, how neuroplasticity opens doors even in the midst of crisis, and how expanded states of consciousness can restore our capacity for meaning, creativity, and resilience when ordinary thinking reaches its limits.

Depth Psychology and the Symbolic Life

Together with Dr. Bonnie Bright, depth psychologist, archetypal pattern analyst, and founder of Depth Psychology Alliance, you will engage chaos not as something to be fixed or escaped, but as a living symbol.

Through dreamwork, somatic and shamanic practices, nature-based ritual, symbolic inquiry, and deep group process, you will discover resources within yourself that ordinary life rarely calls forth.
