an intimate hands on experience of the healing art of hawaiian lomi lomi massage and ho’oponopono (a hawaiian peace making process). this sacred ceremony begins with ha (breath) and pule (prayer) giving thanks to ke akua (creator), aumakua (spirit guides), kupuna (ancestors) … asking for guidance, protection and healing for all those who are called to attend. we’ll pull an oracle card to set our intentions. listen to sweet sounds of ukulele and original music to help ground and connect us. hawaiian paʻakai (sea salt), wai (water) and ti leaf will be incorporated into the ritual for clearing, cleansing and healing. along with gentle stretches to help awaken our kino (bodies) as we learn active listening tools that will help create a safe space to share openly and honestly from the heart and soul. simple yet effective hawaiian lomi lomi massage techniques will be introduced so that we can practice on each other and help mālama (take care) of our ʻohana (family) at home. closing the ceremony with pule (prayer) and a journal reflection will complete our journey together.

approx length of class: 2.5 hours. haumana (students) are recommended to wear comfy clothing, bring a jacket for warmth, yoga mat or towel to sit on, pen/paper for journaling, water to stay hydrated, and a healthy snack to share.
