“Mystics, poets and shamans have always known that in the rhythms and sounds of the soul’s language, the mind bursts open and all levels of being come into alignment.”
For over 30 years now, Kim has gathered circles of kindred hearts in some of the most beautiful and fierce landscapes on the planet. In this retreat she is joined by musical alchemist, Jami Sieber. Magic is created by Jami’s cello in oceanic resonance with the poems, songs and silence emerging from the circle and the chant of wind, rock, and the cries of the dove.
Poems, prayers, and song speak the mystery, the silence, the ineffable joys and sorrows of the inner life. Immersion in these words, sounds and silence causes shifts in your biochemistry, feelings, thoughts and consciousness that align you with your deepest self.
In this retreat we invite the magic that unfurls as poetry intertwines with music. In addition there are sessions of breathwork, sounding, self-inquiry and movement. We enter silence together and alone. There is ample free time to mingle with the life that surrounds us. The retreat culminates in a “Mysterium”: a exploration beyond ordinary words that spans poetry and music, night and day, sound and silence, waking and sleeping, aloneness and communion…
“I feel I’ve shifted to a deeper, more ‘me’ place, and the shift feels permanent. I let the poems and music transport me into the grief I’ve never been able to allow before and I emerge with a new sense of inner freedom.”
Haramara is an intimate seaside retreat, hand-built in harmony with the sensual tropical jungle surrounding it. Luxurious cabanas (without electricity or wifi) overlook breathtaking views of the sea. One of the most beautiful retreat centers in the world, Haramara’s greatest gift, among many, is the caring staff that brings exquisite attention to every detail.
At this pivotal moment in history, there is a paradoxical urgency to slowing down, focusing on what matters most, looking into each other’s eyes and speaking the truth. Please join us as we call on the ancient power of poetry and music to awaken and heal ourselves and the world around us.

Accessibility: Potential participants should know that the cabanas are built into a steep hill (thus the breathtaking views). There is a 10 minute walk uphill on groomed but at times uneven paths and many stairs between the cabanas and the group spaces. While there are one or two cabanas a shorter distance from the dining and workshop areas, even these require an uphill walk and some stair climbing. It is possible to rent a golf cart from Haramara if needed, but some walking on uneven surfaces will be required nonetheless.
“Beyond Words was truly consciousness changing–We were deeply held in the beauty, aliveness and love of the circle, using rhythm, music, breath, movement, silence and potent layers of poetry. A deep sense of community grew–we shared our deepest heart with each other, and little that was superficial. ”
