Huna

Our Sacred Voyages are a blend of many teachings from various sources around the world.  Huna means different things to different people.  While our courses are not Huna courses, they are led by trainers who have been taught some of the ways of old Hawaii by various teachers, elders, Kapunas, Kahunas and shamans.
Ultimately, the teachings stem from the times of Lemuria and pre-date recorded history. They come from source. Have you ever desired a deep connection with your high self? What about learning to heal yourself or others, manifest your dreams into reality, or even talk to rocks or trees.
Our outcome is to guide you on a personal sacred voyage, deep into the spirit world. A world where the Island speaks to you and shows you her beauty and bounty. The Islands have the answers to any questions you have ever wondered about. All you have to do is learn how to ask and to receive.
As the leaders of the trip, we are simply guides for your journey into a deep connection with self and spirit. Having led many trips on the Islands, we have a special and intimate connection with Hawaii and are directed as to how to guide the group for the most enriching experience.
We typically take the groups to many sacred sites. Some of these are the temples of old Hawaii and are vortexes, or power places, with very specific energies. In these power places, birthing things (new ideas, attitudes, actions, relationships), letting things go (old patterns, ways of thinking, beliefs) and any other transformational work is magnified in its speed and ease.
We also have "talk story" where we download ancient teachings from various cultures and powerful techniques for power, change and transformation. There are activities to raise your consciousness and awareness as well as to increase your metaphysical abilities. Learn more about Our Retreats.

Ho'oponopono

“Hoʻoponopono” is defined in the Hawaiian Dictionary as “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.”

Although according to some the word “hoʻoponopono” (to put to rights; to put in order or shape, correct, balance) was not used in old Hawaii, early Hawaiian historians documented a belief that illness was caused by breaking kapu or spiritual laws, and that the illness could not be cured until the sufferer atoned for this transgression, often with the assistance of a praying priest - Kahuna pule or healing priest - Kahuna lapaʻau.

Forgiveness was sought from the gods or from the person with whom there was a dispute. In old Hawaii, people lived in balance (Pono). When they were out of balance, it was time for Hoʻoponopono, to bring things back to balance. This simple process can actually be done through simple acts of love and forgiveness.

Hoʻoponopono corrects, restores and maintains good relationships among family members, and with spirit, by getting to the causes and sources of trouble. In traditional Hawaii, usually the most senior member of the family conducts it. He or she gathers the family together. If the family is unable to work through a problem, they turn to a respected outsider.

The process begins with prayer. A statement of the problem is made, and the transgression discussed. Family members are expected to work problems through and cooperate, not “hold fast to the fault.” One or more periods of silence may be taken for reflection on the entanglement of emotions and injuries. Everyone’s feelings are acknowledged. Then confession, repentance and forgiveness take place. Everyone releases (kala) each other, letting go. They cut off the past (ʻoki), and together they close the event with a ceremonial feast, called pani, which often included eating limu kala or kala seaweed, symbolic of the release.

Huna emphasises practical living and harmony with three levels of consciousness or selves. Max Freedom Long claimed that a low, middle, and higher self were recognized by the kahunas. These selves are the unihipili (subconscious, inner, emotional, intuitive), uhane (waking consciousness, rational) and aumakua (super-conscious, connection with the divine). Huna changes the Hawaiian concept of mana (privileged as a divine power in traditional Hawaiian belief), and views it as a vitalizing life force, which can, with knowledge of the three selves, be used to heal body and mind and achieve life goals.
Rima Morrell has written that one who truly practices Huna, has the ability to influence consciousness. The consciousness is not restricted to human consciousness, but may include that of animals, rocks, everything in the world around us both seen and unseen, therefore can include gods and goddess (akua) and the spirits of the departed ('aumakua) who often appear in the form of animals.
