Aloha Soul Retreat
Embrace the Island Rhythm on the Big Island of Hawai’i
February 14–22, 2026
with Karen Score & Bethany Boulger
Imagine waking up to the warm Hawaiian breeze drifting through your ocean view window. Our home for the week is a private, five-acre ocean-view estate, complete with a sparkling pool, relaxing hot tub, and plenty of space to unwind, including lush gardens and an orchard full of tropical fruits. From the moment you arrive at Hilo Airport, we take care of every detail so you can simply relax and enjoy.
Our private chef will delight your senses with nourishing, locally inspired meals made from fresh, island-grown ingredients. Each day offers a balance of adventure, cultural connection, and peaceful downtime. You’ll explore the wonders of the Big Island — from the fiery landscapes of Volcanoes National Park to the black sands of Punaluʻu Beach, from the lush beauty of the Hawaiʻi Tropical Botanical Gardens to the awe-inspiring Waipiʻo Valley. Seasonal whale watching, farmers markets, and a special farm-to-table dinner at a local homestead will immerse you in the flavors and rhythms of island life.
Wellness is woven naturally into the week with optional daily yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices, all led in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere. Evenings may bring a cacao ceremony, sound healing, breathwork, or stargazing under Hawaiʻi’s brilliant night sky. You’ll also have free time to relax at the beach, wander the gardens, or simply soak in the beauty around you.
In the true spirit of a traditional retreat setting, all accommodations are shared — creating a warm, communal atmosphere where new friendships blossom. Whether you’re traveling with a friend or meeting your retreat family for the first time, you’ll share not only space but also laughter, stories, and the joy of this special journey.
As always on a Grace in Nature Retreat, you’ll find the perfect balance between connection and solitude, activity and rest. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll leave with new friendships, a renewed sense of peace, and memories that will last a lifetime. Throughout it all, Karen and Bethany will be there to guide, support, and ensure every moment is filled with ease and joy.

She feels blessed to have grown up in the Green Mountains of Vermont and to call the Big Island of Hawaii home. When Bethany was in her early twenties, she began traveling and credits that period as the beginning of her true education and her initiation into a soul led life.
As a yoga educator, she weaves inspiration and brings a light hearted presence into her dynamic classes, which are, foundationally, a celebration of embodiment.

“It is a great honor to be a light carrier of ancient healing traditions. Through both Hawaiian and Yogic practices I have experienced profound transformation and healing in my life. Both traditions have empowered me to fall more deeply in love with myself, our human family, the Earth, and life itself. This love translates into a joy of service, offering the blessings of Aloha to each person I meet.”
Bethany enjoys reading poetry, swimming in the ocean, singing with her three year old son, Jai, and basking in the simple things of life. She loves living close to nature with her husband, Tyler, and Jai in their off-grid cabin on their jungle homestead in Hawaii.

“I can’t say enough about my travels with Grace in Nature. Karen Score is the epitome of grace while attending to every last detail of the entire trip, beginning to end. After extensive research and knowledge from previous travel, Karen plans for a trip full of fun, education and relaxation. On top of all that her trips are very affordable, especially considering the high end accommodations I’ve enjoyed. Don’t think twice, book the very next trip offered by Grace in Nature.”

You will not have to think or worry about any aspect of your trip. My experience far exceeded my expectations. Plenty of time to explore on your own or rest. Many activities and excursions offered but no pressure to participate. Just kindness, support and understanding every step of the way. Beautiful, intelligent yoga classes offered by Gina. You will feel encouraged, rested and refreshed. I can not recommend more highly. After traveling with Karen and Gina, it is the only way I ever want to travel.”
