Dear Friends,
When
it comes to business, we're all about professional attention, quality
care and delivering powerful business results.
But we also believe that deep global business understanding and coaching
excellence comes not only from corporate experience and advanced studies
in leadership development and personal evolution, but from EXPLORING the
world and LIVING LIFE with a sense of passion.
So this is a page dedicated to some of the quirky adventures, international
travel experiences and off-beat meetings that we have had with like-minded
people around the world.
These are the experiences that bring dimension to who we are and the services
that we offer... so we thought you might like a peek into that world!
Enjoy!
With aloha,
Lee Ann Del Carpio
Note: We update this page periodically, so we invite you to
stop back often and see what we have learned from our latest adventures.
Pele's
Amazing Hot Lava Flow
The Big Island of Hawaii is an incredible place for the adventurous soul...
a land of rich diversity and delicious contrasts, a natural, rejuvenating
place that invites you to realx and enjoy the opening of your heart.
There
are 13 climate zones on Earth and the Big Island has 11 of them, from
tropical rain forest to subarctic tundra. Imagine hiking or driving along
dramatic sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls and deeply carved gorges in
the morning, trekking out across seas of black lava in the afternoon,
and arriving back home to your hotel in the desert at night.
There
are dolphins to swim with, sea turtles to snorkel beside, sacred sites
to visit, horses to ride with Hawaiian cowboys, stars to watch, and most
amazing of all, hot lava to watch as flows from the Earth's core.In fact,
it's the hot lava and Pele's amazing creative force that draw us back
to the island 4-5 times a year.
You
see, the Big Island is one of the only places on earth where you can go
to watch the land being born.And no visit to the Big Island would be complete
without a visit to Volcanoes National Park to pay your respects to Madame
Pele.
Hawaiian
tradition teaches us that Kilauea Crater at Volcanoes National Park is
the home of Madame Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.Her power is amazing,
and the direction and force of the hot lava flow can change in an instant.Below
are several photos from recent trips we have made to honor Pele and watch
her amazing hot lava flow!
Swimming
with DolphinsIf you have never had the extreme joy and honor of swimming
with the dolphins in the wild, you don't know what you are missing! Dolphins
are one of God's most intelligent, beautiful, and graceful creatures on
the face of the Earth. They have an incredible energy about them, and
are known to be among the most advanced creatures that science has ever
studied. Recent scientific research is measuring the highly evolved communication
system of dolphins and their ability to telepathically communicate.
Many
people who swim with dolphins report dramatic differences in how they
feel emotionally, physically and enegetically after being with dolphins.Regardless
of what science says about dolphins, though, all we can say after swimming
with these gentle creatures on the Kona coast of Hawaii is WOW!
Here
are several shots from a personal coaching retreat trip to the Big Island
in July 2003, when we were lucky enough to swim with a pod of over 60
dolphins one day, and then with a gorgeous pod of about 20 dolphins and
their babies the next day. We felt so incredibly blessed by the experience
and are still on a high whenever we think of that trip!

of nature here in Hawaii...
