Hidden knowledge – not obvious
Hu and Na
Hawaiian – bit of Hawaiian history
Hawaiian state motto –aloha!
Adventurer and warrior traditions
Correct about Kahuna
Kahuna Kupua
Kala kupua
Trickster – Maui – example tale
Healer of relationships –self, others, things
Philosophy and way of relating to the world -not a set of techniques
Simple yet v deep but not always easy
Evolving not dogmatic. ‘If it works it’s Huna!’
Magician – able to hold the paradox
Science vs magic – light bulb was magic, alternative universes, space between our atoms
All about patterns and relationships
My Tradition
• Kupua shamanism
• Other Huna - All knowledge is not in one school
– body work, chanting etc.
• Serge Kahili King
• Kahili Hawaiian family tradition
• Aloha International
• Alakai – spiritual leader
• He kanaka 'imi 'ike 'ana
• Works for me despite cynicism
