Eindrücke und Erlebnisse

"Katharina gab mir den Mut und die Inspiration mich vollkommen auf die Kraft der Inseln einzulassen.
Damit begann für mich die faszinierende Reise zu mir selbst. Die Schönheit Hawaiis hat mich ebenso tief berührt wie die liebevolle Offenheit und natürliche Weisheit der Menschen.
Ich konnte ganz deutlich spüren wer ich wirklich bin und was nicht zu mir gehört. Mit der Unterstützung und Motivation Katharinas liess ich einschränkende Verhaltensweisen und Einstellungen los. So konnte ich mein wahres Wesen ungehindert entfalten.
Hawaii mit Katharina – das ist eine Reise nach Hause. Auf jedem Schritt begleitet Dich der «Spirit of Aloha». Er öffnet Dein Herz und Deine Sinne. Plötzlich verstehst Du die Botschaften der Natur, hast Zugang zu tiefgreifender Weisheit. Du spürst Deine Kraft. Du wirst weicher und gleichzeitig stärker. Und Du wirst liebevoller: zur Natur, zu Deinen Mitmenschen und zu Dir selbst. Wenn Du wieder fort gehst bist Du angekommen. Doch die Magie der Inseln lässt Dich nie mehr los."
Brigitte Stefanetti, Schweiz

“I began to feel the vibration and the energy and the generosity of this island allowing me to discover more of who I am” Amy McLaughlin

Amy's artistic testimonial (poem):

"Katharina Says

The sand, so soft
The wind, a gentle embrace
The flute, mystical music
Ritual
Katharina says, “Introduce yourself,
To know the island, the island must know you”
Show respect, love, light
Katharina says, “Set an intention, all will unfold”
‘tis true, the generosity, the gifts
The unending nurturing felt from this island,
Profound
Katharina says, “Ask, she, Kaua’i, will answer
Listen be still.”
With heart open, love floods in
More and more with each new journey
Discovery of Kaua’i, discovery of myself
Touched, truly I am
The magnificence, the brilliance all at hand
In community with this island
Katharina there to open the door
To touch Kaua’i
Touch and soar!"
Amy McLaughlin, USA

"I wanted to says thanks for providing me another way to experience Hawaii. Your understanding of the culture and the Hawaiian traditions were fabulous.
During the adventure your knowledge of the trails and preparation as well as the food was superb. I will not forget prior to starting the Napali coast trail that you requesting solitude with nature by asking for acceptance from the Hawaiian gods to proceed.
The music from the Hawaiian flute drew a small crowd of tourist that applauded when you finished. At that time I new this was going to be exciting.
The best part however was the trail walk, with beautiful views of the mountains, waterfalls and secluded beaches that were like being on an island paradise totally removed from all the daily stresses.
Again I want to thank you for the great trip and food and will make sure that I recommend you to all my friends and Adventure racers that would like to experience a real treat. Aloha"
Ralph R. McLaughlin Sr. VP of Seagate / Adventure Racer

Kim & Zane Clitts, Danville, CA

"When I first landed in Kaua’i, I immediately felt something that I could only describe as ‘magic’, something powerful and connected to a deep part of me that I couldn’t explain.
A few days later I met Katharina and decided to take one of her guided tours. Through her gentle direction and fun techniques I soon was able to discover ways I could ‘see’ more clearly the magic of Kaua’i – in a river, a waterfall, jungle, stone and tree.
I will always be grateful to her for showing me those special places, both in the nature of this garden island and in me. I have much more to learn and plan to return and follow her again"
Paul Cruickshanks, Montpelier, VT

"Katharina's Magical Mystery Tours are truly life changing. They blend a multitude of amazing activities into one unforgettable experience. In one day trek with her I went adventuring, sightseeing and with her guidance and intuitive wisdom was lead to open and connect with the spiritual energy of the land that is so profoundly powerful in Hawaii. She brings you to places to explore, to learn and to connect with the essence of Hawaii's natural beauty, its history and its lore.
Katharina is immensely knowledgeable and very well versed in Hawaiian history and traditions. Her connection with the land is strong and as she connects, your spiritual connection opens naturally. Our trek took us to the magical Royal Waterfall of Opeaka where after breathtaking views above we climbed down the mountainside to commune with the lush natural surroundings and swim in the falls. It was a day I will never forget.
Katharina's strength and calm assurance encouraged me to climb safely down the side of a sloping mountain; though, until that day I had a real terror of heights. This feat, for me was incredibly empowering.
To be able to experience the energy and the beauty of the waterfall up close ... a place I would never have found or had the courage to go, without taking a tour with Katharina, was one of the most fantastic days of my trip and of my life. Katharina's Tours helped me to know Hawaii better as well as, myself!"
Nancy Peel, Toronto Ontario, Canada

“The time we spent with you was truly a magical experience! One that we
will always remember. Your ability to seek out and understand the mystery
we were seeking is a true gift. Taking us along offbeaten paths to the
waterfalls we requested enabled us to fully experience the beauty and
the spiritual essence of Kauai. The day exceeded our expectations and was
a true adventure! We highly recommend you as a tour guide to others.
We know our journeys will cross again. Bob and I are staying aware of
any opportunity of returning to Hawaii as soon as possible. We treasure
the memories of our day with you forever.”
Ellen and Rob, CT

"Katharina was a wonderful tourguide. Her knowledge, intuition and sense of adventure were a delight to experience. We’ll recommend her to all our friends who will visit Kauai"
Kevin & Carol

"I had a very good time in Hawai with very energetic
aspirant, name is Katharina. She is very loving and has a beautiful heart.
If you have a time in your life, please take a chance to experience her healing
power.
I always give thanks to God who gave birth to earth that is Katharina"
Peetambar Mishra, Varanasi, India

"I especially liked it because I like exploring and not sightseeing so much. I rather go somewhere new or strange than somewhere that all the tourists go. I’m not the type to be disappointed if it doesn’t look like a postcard, to me that’s boring. What’s fun is discovering not rehashing the same old trail. I’m really grateful for this wonderful experience with Katharina"
Andrew, L.A., California

"Thank you for being the best guide we could possibly have. You did a very deeply founded guidance through the beautiful landscapes of Kauai as well as you did through our inner landscapes. Fantastic!"
Stefan Heim, Germany
