Like Hawai'i, made up of great diversity, this retreat brings together the different perspectives and energies of two very loved and honored Hawaiian kumu, Aunty Mahealani Kuamo'o-Henry and Kumu Hula Raylene Kawaiae'a. The diversity of their gifts combine to offer you a broader understanding of Hawaiian values and spirituality.
In this retreat Aunty Mahealani, who brings joy and enthusiasm along with her wisdom, will present daily classes in ho'opono pono ke ala. This is a traditional counseling form designed to help people promote "self-best" through self-permission to recognize and reconnect to self-greatness as well as learn to experience self-greatness in every day events and moments. You will learn to leave behind fear-based mindsets of power, control and damnation and become the best you ever!
