What is Huna?

Huna is the modern Western label given to the ancient healing and spiritual shamanism of ancient Hawai`i. The teachings have been passed down through particular family lineages, and were once secret and carefully guarded – but today, some families teach Huna openly. Huna is sometimes associated with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) or hypnosis, but it is distinctly different from these practices. Instead, Huna is a way of thinking, doing, and being, with processes and techniques that can assist you in your personal, professional, and spiritual growth and development.

 

Family Lineage:  
The school’s Huna lineage, Hālau Ho`omanaloa (School of Energetic Empowerment) in Kona, Hawai`i, descends from the Bray and James families, with significant influence from Uncle George Na`ope, Kumu John Ka`imikaua, and Aunty Bernie (Na`ope) Konanui. Our current teacher is Kumu/Dr. Matthew James.  It is now called the Bray-James lineage.  This is an unbroken Huna lineage of 121 generations.

Aloha! 🌺

This workshop is for anyone interested in spirituality, energy work, or releasing emotional weight.

If you’ve ever held onto a feeling, a memory, or a pattern that keeps repeating—and aren’t sure how to let it go—you’re not alone. Many of us carry these experiences longer than we realize.

Huna, the ancient wisdom of Hawai‘i, offers simple and practical ways to understand these patterns and restore harmony. Through this workshop, you’ll explore how to live more pono—in alignment with yourself and others—and gently release what no longer serves you.

We’ll also experience Ho‘oponopono, the Hawaiian practice of forgiveness, to support clarity, peace, and moving forward.

Over two days:

• Day 1: Foundations of Huna and releasing negative emotions
• Day 2: Introduction to energy symbols, including a gentle initiation, to support clearing, balance, and personal growth

Whether you’re new to a spiritual path or already on one, this work can deepen your awareness and support meaningful change.

With Much Aloha! 🌺💕🌺

Testimonials from the last workshops:

"Bless you for having guided me to Huna!"

"I enjoyed the workshop very much! I have been in other Huna sessions and there is always something new, something that I forgot or something that I didn't catch in previous sessions. The location was fantastic, with opportunities to go for a walk during our breaks. The sessions were very dynamic, allowing our group to practice and interact with each other.

 

Kumu Karen was amazing! Her energy, her vast knowledge, and her welcoming personality made us feel at home right from the beginning. She is the reason why I came back to this workshop. I love her teaching style and how approachable and understanding she is to our "sometimes silly" questions. I feel this workshop gave us the right tools and the foundation to understand energy at a beginning level and to practice in our every-day life.

 

I strongly recommend this workshop to any person interested in learning about Huna, learning about energy, and learning about themselves in a different perspective. Thanks Kumu Karen and Sachiko for making this workshop possible!"

“It was beneficial in the way I expected – feeling the power of the energy flowing while doing forgiveness work and symbol work.  It was also beneficial in the unexpected way of meeting wonderful people with similar mindsets and interests.  I have used the Huna symbols to add protection and to my property and workspace, and I have felt uplifted the whole week since the workshop”.

“This workshop caught me by surprise in that I was so quickly drawn in.  All of the instructors were so informal, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive”
