A beautiful trail run and so much more! - This guided trail run was a very special experience from the blessing of the land where clouds formed a rainbow-like arc over the crater to the end where we sampled local foods and drank coconut water straight from the coconut. This was so much more than a beautiful run in the forest and around the crater.
Chris is a very knowledgeable guide who shared information about the local land, the volcano, plants and animals, Hawaiian culture, eco-psychology, and trail running.
If you love running and want to feel more connected to the land that you are visiting, this is the tour for you!

Restorative Nature Walk through a Forested Coastal area. - Chris is an amazing guide and held a safe container for me. He led me through a beautiful forested coastal area where I could begin to reflect on my personal life transitions within my family. He was able to reflect back to me my strengths and helped me feel like I can trust myself to move forward. He helped me safely explore and listen to the teachings inherent in a calm tide pool within an encroaching storm. I gained a beautiful vantage point to see my situation more clearly within a relatively short amount of time. I look forward to working more deeply with Thriving Sun’s offerings.

The Center of the Universe - Chris is an engaging guide whose varied experiences over the years at and around the volcano make him uniquely capable to enhance what would otherwise be a solitary enlightening experience into an encyclopedic understanding of the vistas before the observer. His enthusiasm and gentle sharing of his factual and scientific and philosophical as well as spiritual knowledge enhanced exponentially the physical wonders before us, for which we will always remember fondly.
