Training Dates 2026
​Our trainings are offered in small, intentional circles, where learning unfolds through presence, care, and deep listening. Rooted in Hawaiian wisdom, this is an invitation to slow down,
to remember, and to learn in a way that honours both the body and the spirit.
​
For those feeling called to continue beyond foundational training, we also offer Professional Pathways, supporting practitioners to walk their work with integrity, responsibility, and aloha.
