In the Love and Light of the Ancestors

Our school is dedicated to preserving the teachings of our Ancestors. These teachings are timeless and we can learn how to apply them in our modern lives - our Ancestors knew these teachings would have as much relevance today as they did in times past and so they preserved them so that they can continue to be learned, shared, applied and perpetuated. Weʻre an aspiring Social Enterprise. When you do a course with the school, after on-costs, your fees go towards community projects/events weʻre supporting - small at this stage but we have bigger things in mind. You give as you receive and together we will build our ‘ohana (community). It's how we honour the Ancestors and the gift they have left us in the Teachings.

We can ALL move forward

There is a Hawaiian Proverb "love gives life within". In our school we recognise that we can move forward as a Global Community if we decide to reset our starting place. And that place is understanding there can be no separation between Us and Everything else. It's not only about understanding we cannot be separate from the rest of Existence, but knowing HOW we cannot be separate. "No Separation" is the foundational message of our school. Our time is calling for a Global Community - an "international nation" of people who know and understand they are part of Nature, of the Universe, of something more than themselves and know how to live this way. Nature already knows truth, Humankind needs to learn this too.

Our Logo, Lehua Blossoms & the 4Ps

Our Logo is a symbol of where we are on the Earth and our connection to our place of Origin, our Ancestors, Guardians and all things in this Universe. The Lehua Flower Blossoms are flowers of ʻike - knowledge and wisdom. In many stories and chants the Kupuna/Elders are referred to as Lehua Blossoms. It is said when you see all of the colours of the Lehua together, you are seeing all the ʻike of the Universe - which makes it a perfect symbol for our work. Both are reminders of unconditional love as the driving force of the Universe...Our 4Ps give us direction: Protect, Preserve, Practice, Perpetuate. We instil this in our Haumāna/Students, so they understand the importance of what theyʻre doing and the decisions they make.

Hālau Kumu Kumu Paʻa Julia Nālani

The Hālau is co-created by Kumu Julia Nālani. Kumu has an extensive background in Learning & Development and is recognised as a leader in this field. Each Study Stream offers precise training for professional development, personal development and to preserve Spiritual Practice from other First Nations. The intention of the Hālau is to preserve our Hawaiian Lineage Teachings for the next Generations and the Global Community, who can benefit from them as a strong, unshakeable foundation for life - Teachings applicable to each one of us regardless of our Cultural Backgrounds. These are Universal Teachings that show you how much "westernised" Spirituality has forgotten about the totality of life, death and everything in between. They're about who you are, what you do and how you are moment to moment - your wholeness and fullness as a person. The Teachings we are trying to preserve through our real world projects cover everything from training, landcare, food management to family care. At the heart of these day to day activities are the Teachings. They are our driving force...
