Introduction

Walk lightly on the aina (Hawaiian earth) as you begin your experience of tasting the primal culture whose origins predate nearly all we know or have heard about.

The ancient Hawaiian oral tradition talks about a huge continent, the remains of which are the tall mountains thrusting through the Pacific ocean in the form of the Hawaiian Islands.

We in the west speculate about the ancient land of Lemuria. The earliest Hawaiian oral history talks about how their forefathers ventured out from their land into the eight directions and populated the rest of the world. After the ocean covered the huge continent that was their home, they came back to the land of their origins and joined with the descendants of their predecessors.

This is the spiritual lineage that is held by Auntie Pua (Josephine Wahinealiikukahiliopua Wong-Brentlinger.) These are the traditions that have been passed down orally from teacher to student for millennia. Auntie Pua received her lineage from her great Aunt, Emma Defries. This lineage has been traced back to before 24 BC. These are the traditions you will have an opportunity to live as you walk very lightly, following footstep by footstep, retracing the path of the ancient ones.

Schedule

The schedule is on the timetable of spirit, not early, not late, not cast in stone. The schedule frequently changes as the message of timing is delivered and shown by the elements. The itinerary can include any of the islands, anywhere on that particular island. There are thousands of sacred sites in the Hawaiian Islands. There are a few that are well known. Most, because of their sacredness, are kept private and are rarely openly discussed.  If you are ready to travel this path contact us by email.

Destination

The destination is always a sacred site. It could be an ancient temple (heiau.) It could be a place of historical spiritual significance. It could be a special geographic location. It could be on the mountain, in a valley, at the beach, in the ocean, at a stream or waterfall, in the desert, at a natural steam vent or the volcanic flow. It could frequently be a combination of all of these. Sometimes it will be in the middle of the day, sometimes early in the morning or late at night. Sometimes you will spend only a few minutes at the site, sometimes you will be there for hours or even days. The exact who, where and when is totally determined by spirit as shown to Auntie Pua. While you are accompanying Auntie Pua, she takes you as part of her extended family. You will probably be introduced to the spirits of the aina as her intimates. The one thing that is usually always true is that what happens will rarely be predictable.
