Maui Retreat
Join for this immersion in one of the world’s most majestic, powerful, and magical volcanic islands!
This annual retreat is to begin, or to continue, to live an integrated spiritual lifestyle. The focus this year is LIVING PRACTICE! If we cannot embody yoga in our moment to moment experience of life, how can we expect this world outside to be a loving, peace filled experience? We must be the leaders of peace and unity by experiencing peace and unity within ourselves on a day-to-day basis. This does not mean posting about peace, or teaching about it, it means to truly sit with yourself and contemplate whether you are in a state of peace within you, and to discover ways of being that create more peace and unity in all moments of your life. Life is a flow state, so finding balance is a continuous journey. Here you will be invited to awaken to your own inherent wisdom through embodying practice as a natural way of living. There will be an abundance of practices together of Kundalini, Kriya, Breathwork, Sacred Ritual and Connection throughout this experience. It is a One Root Seven Branches Deep Immersion in yogic living. This means, we will dive into the seven branches: Medicine, Touch, Practice, Love, Presence, Meditation, and Ritual and the wisdom points of what it means to be a conscious leader in the world today and how to apply that to live a life of dharma. Let us explore these aspects of your life and learn how to find more balance and harmony. With this being an immersion, we will practice sacred ritual, meditation, Sattva Yoga Journeys, and intentional excursions to sacred destinations on this beautiful and bountiful tropical island of Maui. Mama Maui is a deeply spiritual island where heart and root are combined to experience immense balance rooted in love. This is open to all levels of practitioners from never trying yoga or meditation to relatively immersed in the lifestyle and teaching. Let’s play, integrate, heal, and live an expansive life beyond the mind!
Maui, Hawaii is home of Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano, peaking at 10,000 feet, with a name which means “the house of the sun.” Not only this, but Maui is overflowing with epic waterfalls, rivers, and swimming holes, all along the winding Hana highway where this deep immersion will take place amongst the coastal jungle, and beautiful golden beaches. This immersion will be an expansive experience of tapping into your own state of unity through access to the depth of the ancient science and technology of yoga, meditation, and intentional living. Here we will take time and space to be present with ourselves, our patterns, our current lives, and use the wisdom of Sattva Yoga and Maui’s abundant Nature and high vibration to realign and find a balanced flow to return to.
This is lead by Corrin Vecchitto, learn more about her in the About section here.

The Dasha Mahavidya Sadhana Immersion
July 2023 | Haiku, Maui, Hawaii, US
It is a lovely Sunday evening and it has been a week since I returned from the One Root Seven Branches’ Health, Wealth and Love retreat on stunning Maui. I am so immensely grateful for Corrin and her divine guidance during that week and every moment since then. Everything unfolded with such ease and harmony. Each day was infused with powerful teachings, heartwarming Sattva journeys, lots of laugh and wisdom and more laughs. It was such a perfect mix of practice, satsangs, outings and, and, and, quite important: divine cuisine! The meals catered by Food Goddess Angel Green were beyond anything I had imagined! Such creativity and love was poured into each meal! The retreat was not only amazing nourishment for the soul, it was for the body as well!
Corrin made everything flow effortlessly for us. She handpicked the place, the Chef, the excursions for an outstanding experience. She is Divine Grace and Love and her passion and dedication showed every second, every minute. She gave us so much! There aren’t enough words to express the infinite gratitude I have for having her in my life and having met her in India. I enjoyed every moment and the one-on-one on the last day was very informative and helped me stay on the path for post retreat. I highly recommend this divine soul to anyone open to learn and evolve. Corrin, a big thank you or as we say on my country: Mauruuru Roa!

Corrin Vecchitto, Founder of One Root Seven Branches, is a beautiful Sattva Senior Master Teacher, so full of inspiration, kind, caring, and dedicated to the teachings. She is so conscientious of every detail in the planning of her retreats and so helpful in answering any questions that may arise. I absolutely loved the food that was prepared for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Vegan, nutritious, colorful, and so lovingly prepared by sweet Lala. The accommodations at the Hale Akua Eco-retreat were fantastic. You are surrounded by beauty everywhere you turn. The excursions were fun and spontaneous adventures in nature; with hikes, rock climbing, swimming in waterfalls, and playing on the beach. One evening we watched the full moon light up the sky over Maui. There was also quiet time for journaling, reflection, and integration. Corrin’s Sattva Classes are powerful, magical Journey’s into awareness and healing. She’s a passionate, knowledgeable, supportive teacher with many gifts of wisdom to share.
