What's on Offer:

Everyone who wants to learn about and study Hawaiian Spirituality and Healing starts here. These are the Foundation Teachings taught to each generation of our Lineage. They underpin daily life, our spiritual practices and healing modalities like Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage and Traditional Hoʻoponopono. They are so fundamental to living and healing that theyʻre called the ABCʻs or "the Pillars". Our own Teacher, Kumu Lawrence, always says everyone wants to get to "Z" but no-one wants to do the ABCʻs - meaning everyone focuses on the outcome without paying close attention whatʻs happening to get you there. In the rush, they donʻt realise that the ABCʻs are the endgame...

Want to learn Oli/Chant, Hula/Dance, Ho'oponopono, Lomilomi Massage?

Path to Pa'a is the starting point for them all. If you want to learn Oli/Hawaiian Chant in this class you learn 3 Foundation Chants. If Hula excites you, you will learn Hula Basic Steps and an Oli to Laka the Goddess of Hula. Want to be a Hawaiian Healing Practitioner - it starts with Path to Pa'a, the Foundation Teachings that ARE Hawaiian Healing. We all start together and then we pursue our passions.

Hālau vs. Weekend Workshops: What’s the Difference?

There’s a big difference between learning inside a Hālau and taking a “course” in, say, Lomilomi. The Learning feels different because youʻre training...

IN OUR HĀLAU learning and training is: ✅ Rooted in 51 unbroken Generations of Ancestral Lineage ✅ ʻIke is inherited and earned not assembled from vague, "based on" sources ✅the Kūpuna/Elders are well-known, not names from books or the Internet ✅ Taught under the guidance of the an uniki'd Kumu Pa'a with access to the Hālau Kumu Nui and 4 other uniki’d Kumus ✅ Practitioners are spiritually accountable and culturally recognised. ⚠️ IN "WEEKEND COURSES" training is: ⚠️ Mixed and marketed knowledge ⚠️ No, limited or vague ancestral relationship or responsibility ⚠️ Levels and certificates instead of depth and cultural accuracy ⚠️ Not seen as legitimate by Kānaka ʻŌiwi/Indigenous Hawaiians

The Difference You Carry ...

Practitioners trained in a Hālau carry themselves differently—because what they carry is real.

🌿 They act with kuleana, not performance 🌿 They are guided by generations of ʻike, not just instruction 🌿 They remain in right relationship with their Kumu and their Lineage 🌿 They approach each session with spiritual discipline, not personal branding 🌿 They are recognised by Kānaka ʻŌiwi as culturally grounded and trustworthy. 🌿This isn’t a “service.” It’s a continuation of Ancestral responsibility.

If You're Serious About Your Development

This is where you begin - or begin again. This training answers the quiet questions many practitioners carry: “Have I learned the real thing? Am I doing this right? Is what I’ve been taught complete?”

Over 8 weeks, you’ll be guided personally through the teachings that give Lomilomi and all Hawaiian healing their meaning, integrity, and spiritual authority. 😊Every class is taught by Kumu, and Kumu is available to you throughout—to kukākukā, to support, and to correct with care. 😊An optional 4-week extension includes dedicated 1:1 mentoring and coaching to help you reflect, apply, and carry these teachings into your practice with clarity and cultural alignment. 😊 This isn’t about adding more training—it’s about receiving the foundation that everything else should have been built on...
