School of Spirituality, Healing and Development

Luna Hoʻoponopono Training happens over 26 weeks. Thereʻs a full schedule of Sessions in your Get Started Course. Basically, it works like this: The Path to Paʻa; Luna Hoʻoponopono Training & Retreat; Practice Sessions & Professional Supervision.

Your Training is a "blended" training model. In Stage 1 you do weekly Livestreamed Classes with Kumu Nālani. Stage 2: we go on a 4.5 Day Training Retreat where we focus on developing the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to work successfully with people in a helping role. Stage 3: its over to you. You have 12 hours of Practice Sessions to complete. You attend monthly Group Supevision, Coaching and Mentoring Sessions whilst you are in Stage 3. If we are not in your home region during your training period, you will do the same training livestreamed with Kumu. it is exactly the same training. The advantage here is you get lots of practice doing online Hoʻoponopono Sessions with Clients - so itʻs a good preparation for the work youʻll actually do. If the Covid Situation prevents us from going on Retreat, we will continue our livestreamed classes as outlined above. We are Mākaukau - always ready, always prepared and we build this into your Training Program. The format - Retreat or no Retreat is not so important - we achieve exactly the same outcomes to build your experience when we are 100% livestreamed. When Kumu is travelling, and she is near your location, she will invite you to gather with her. This is an extension of your training. If you come to understand the Teachings through this training, you will clearly understand how we bring it all together so youʻre confident and ready...we are learning in the Realm of Spirit - there's a clue for you...

All Training in the School of Hawaiian Spiritual Studies starts with the PATH TO PAʻA COURSE. Itʻs Stage 1 of this training. When that is completed and you have done the Hoʻike Completion Process, then Kumu will give you the permission to enter the Stage 2. Then, when Stage 2 is completed you continue into Stage 3. To become Certified by our Lineage, and in 39 Countries world-wide, you need to complete all Components including Supervision, Integration Sessions, Skills Passport and any other tasks given by Kumu Nālani as part of your Hoʻike Completion Process. Always feel welcome to discuss your specific situation with Kumu before enroling.

You can start doing your Practice Sessions once you have completed the Ho'oponopono Skills component - these are real world sessions that you complete and you bring them to Kumu for discussion and coaching. Your Practice Sessions can be paid Sessions, that is up to you.

Because our training is CULTURALLY CORRECT. It is in depth and live, not a series of recorded videos - you will learn everything Kumu learned to become a Luna Ho'oponopono and qualified to do Sessions with people. Hoʻoponopono is NOT the 4 line Prayer/Mantra; it isnʻt a "song" or "meditation". It isnʻt the modernised version developed by Anake (Auntie) Morrnah Simeona in good faith, but which has been terribly distorted. It is definitely NOT anything Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len, Mabel Katz and others who have no Lineage Connections say it is; it is NOT about "cleaning". But Anake (Auntie) Morrnah Simeona is Kanaka 'oiwi! Yes she is, and we aloha her very much. But as our Kumu teaches, Anake was also very much involved in the tourist industry and she developed her program of Ho'oponopono with that focus. She is also on record as saying she did not think non-Hawaiians were ready and able to accept and understand the depths of Traditional Ho'oponopono. She was correct in that thinking...because to understand it, you have to learn to "think like a Kanaka 'oiwi/Indigenous Hawaiian". You can learn to do this - we teach you... The Ancestors are very clear on what Hoʻoponopono is and why such in depth training is needed for Kanaka 'oiwi Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians today. And it is precisely because of these world-wide distortions that are mistakenly becoming "Ho'oponopono" that the head of our Lineage of 50+ Generations has said "the mango is ripe...", meaning we must teach the Cultural Teachings before it is too late. Yes, it is confronting. We do not stand in judgement. Instead we simply say to you "this is where you are, now let's move from there..."

We have a structured payment plan for your training. Your Course Fees contribute to our Social Enterprise Preservation Projects. If the Payment Plan structure is beyond you, please let us know. Donʻt let the Fees get in the way of your Training. We will try and work out a plan to suit your circumstances.

As your Training progresses, your study time might need to increase. The amount of time you spend studying is also dependent on how you learn, which is also why we take our time so you can discover the best way to learn for you. The learning resources are very well developed and full of information in simple, plain English so theyʻre easy to read and remember. LIvestream Sessions are 2.5 - 3 hours/week depending on whatʻs being discussed. Generally, expect to do 3 - 4 hours of study a week. Sometimes a little less, maybe a little more for some topics.

The Wise Guides are in place to help you. Our courses are highly experiential and transformational, as you apply everything to yourself so you know what itʻs like, how it works and how it changes life. You may want to talk things over as these changes happen for you, do a bit of mentoring and so on. Rather than give up or feel overwhelmed, you have the Wise Guides to book in with. Sessions are additional to your Course Costs and you book them as you need to. Sessions with the Wise Guides are 45 mins, cost $150AUD and are online. We always strongly recommend you work with one of them at least 3 times during your total Training Program.

Yes. It is included in your Course Fees. You will also lead Ho'oponopono Sessions and participate in them as part of your class work with your fellow students
