What is Hawaiian Shamanism?
The kahuna of Hawaii protected the old teachings and passed their secrets down to us through their lineagesin the hula, the chants, and through initiations. Hawaiian shamanism offers a cosmology and way of workingwith spirits that is unique amongst other shamanic groups and notable in its simplicity and power.

Meet Larry Kessler
Larry Kessler spent a good part of the last fifteen years in Hawaii, studying the Hawaiian traditions. In 1996, he was made an alakai (teacher) of Huna by his kupua Kiaina’auaomaikalani, who initiated him into a lineage of kahuna that extends back twenty generations from Daddy Bray to before Kamehameha. After that, he spent another 12 years working with other teachers and healers. After his immersion in the Hawaiian system, he studied Core Shamanism through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and graduated from Michael Harner’s three-year program. What he learned there allowed him to penetrate deeper into the mysteries and power of the Hawaiian system. Read more...

His workshops are exceptionally powerful, inspiring, and contain techniques and tools not found in other classes on Huna. The time has come for this knowledge to spread around the world.
