The class days and times are intentional for learning Oli. When you enrol, you will unlock the Schoolhouse Zoom Classroom Details and Training Modules

Oli 1 — Beginners Course

Learn the foundations of oli within a small Practitioner cohort guided by two Kumus through live instruction, facilitated small group practice and in-the-moment coaching. You will learn 2 Foundation Oli. If you already know those Oli, you will Ho'ike and learn 2 Oli you don't know.

Why This Training Matters to your Practice

Learning Oli (Hawaiian chant) will transform your practice from a technical application of Hawaiian Healing Methods into a deeply integrated cultural and spiritual experience. For a non-Hawaiian Practitioner, it provides the "voice" and the "Protocol" necessary to bridge the gap between Western, or external understanding of Hawaiian Healing and Culture, and authentic Hawaiian Healing, which is what our 51 Generations has preserved.

Intentionally Small Training Cohort

The Training is limited to 15 participants to ensure meaningful practice and feedback. Each Kumu works directly with a small group of up to 8 Practitioners during the practice and coaching sessions. Your will rotate between them each week so you get the benefits of their 'ike.

What's on Offer:

If you are a non-Hawaiian practitioner of Lomilomi or Ho‘oponopono, I created this for you. Let me say this clearly, and with Aloha — Oli is not an optional extra. It is part of your foundation. It is part of Protocol. And Protocol is what makes Hawaiian Healing Hawaiian. Oli is a must know. This Practitioner-level Training is for non-Hawaiian Practitioners of Hawaiian Healing.
You will be trained in small groups, taught and coached by two Lineage Kumus, so you are supported, gently corrected, and guided properly. You will learn two chants you can use in your healing work and in your own life. But more than that — you will go deep into what Oli actually is, why we chant, what we chant, who chants, when we chant and how to chant.
As a non-Hawaiian Practitioner of Hawaiian Healing: if you have been taught techniques without being taught Protocol… if you were given chants without being taught what makes them culturally correct… if you’ve ever wondered, “Is this right?” — then this training is for you.
You'll learn about Protocol, its functions spiritually, culturally, in healing sessions, and kaona, metaphor and imagery to uncover the deeper meaning of the chant - and then Oli it all. This isn't surface-level training. It's where you begin to lay the foundation for becoming a Chanter and underline your skill as a Healer.

Even if you have not yet taken Path to Pa‘a — the foundation of all of our training — you will begin learning 3 of our powerhouse Foundational Teachings, preserved and practiced for 51 Generations continuously, through the lens of Oli. You will feel the difference between memorising words and embodying the practice of Oli.

Who This Course Is Not For

This course is not for you if you are simply curious about Hawaiian chant or looking for something quick to memorise. Oli carries cultural context and responsibility. This training is for Practitioners willing to learn with respect, attend the live sessions, and practise between classes.
