Why we are here…
We're here to rediscover ancient Hawaiian wisdom that guides us back to harmony. In a world often characterized by disharmony, this wisdom offers profound insights into living in balance with nature and the elements. Through these teachings, we embark on a journey of embodiment, learning to truly feel, act, heal, and touch from our own inner center, harmonizing with the essence of who we are and our environment. Perhaps that's why you're here—to learn a simple yet powerful way to help others or to discover a transformative bodywork practice.
what is lomi lomi?
Lomi Lomi, an ancient Hawaiian practice, traces its roots back to the Kahuna shamans, revered as guides and guardians of Hawaiian society. Among the various roles they fulfilled, one significant aspect was their mastery of bodywork to restore balance and harmony within individuals. Using shamanic tools and techniques, these Kahuna practitioners worked with the elements, harnessing their power to facilitate healing and alignment.
Today, Lomi Lomi continues to hold a sacred significance as a temple massage, embodying the essence of a rite of passage for the receiver. It serves as a supportive guide through transitions in life, offering profound healing and connection.
This transformative bodywork, handed down through generations, serves as a sacred journey of healing and connection. Its essence lies in the profound full-body oil massage, characterized by fluid motions that seamlessly traverse the back and front of the human body, penetrating deep into the layers of being. Far beyond a mere massage, Lomi Lomi is a profound healing experience, adept at releasing old blockages and traumas, thereby allowing individuals to surrender to their body's innate wisdom and rediscover newfound wholeness.
Lomi Lomi is akin to a dance—a dance of healing and aliveness. It's a journey that invites individuals to deeply release old blockages and open up to healing and renewal.
This training stands in the lineage of Kahu Abraham from Kaua'i, who gracefully adapted this ancient practice for Western culture. Kahu Abraham's dedication made this wisdom accessible to Westerners, offering practitioners an opportunity to engage with Lomi Lomi that meets their needs. His profound insight led him to develop a system specifically aimed at guiding Westerners into their bodies, away from the confines of their minds, fostering a deeper sense of integrity and connection within practitioners, emphasizing embodiment and the profound connection found through deep breath

Becoming a practitioner of Hawaiian Bodywork transcends mere technique—it's a path of personal transformation. It's about delving deep into oneself, confronting the limitations and patterns that make us feel stuck or disconnected from ourselves. It teaches us to listen deeply, strengthening our connection to our core, our breath, and our innate vitality—our “Mana”, our raw and pure life force. Here's where your journey begins:
Discover the Essence: Embrace the wisdom of nature's elements for balance and healing. Our essence is linked to the elements shaping our being. Explore how air guides our breath and ignites our inner fire, while water brings harmony and earth grounds us. In Hawaiian Bodywork, we learn from these elements, understanding their language and healing potential.
Heal Yourself, Heal Others: From a place of inner alignment, our approach to touch becomes a practice of deep presence, beginning with ourselves before extending to others. This practice is rooted in the principle of Ohana, where every aspect of body, mind, and spirit is considered a family member. Just as a family thrives on harmony, so too does our being. When we synchronize our movements, balance our left and right sides, and unite our head with our heart, we create a symphony of harmony within ourselves. It's about being present in every moment, attuned to ourselves and others, creating a state of wholeness and vibrancy.
what you will learn
Movement Meditation (Flight of the Navigator): Inspired by the graceful movements of nature and the fluidity of the Hawaiian landscape, the Flight of the Navigator is a meditative practice that invites participants to explore movement as a pathway to their core. This practice, transmitted by Kahu Abraham Kaua'i, is tailored especially for Westerners. He also refers to it as “Ke Ala Hoku”, the gateway to the stars. It is a simple yet profound movement around one's own center, weaving together past, present, and future, ultimately guiding us to the here and now.
The massage: Participants will explore a variety of massage techniques. Through hands-on demonstrations and guided practice, we delve into the sacred principles of Hawaiian Bodywork, refining our skills as healers and transformational guides. In the spirit of community, participants will have the opportunity to engage in massage exchanges, offering and receiving healing touch in a supportive and nurturing environment. This practice fosters connection, trust, and the sharing of knowledge, as we come together to support each other on our journey of growth and transformation.
Rituals and Chants: Drawing upon the rich spiritual traditions of Hawaii, we engage in rituals and chants that honor the elements, the ancestors, and the divine essence within us all. These sacred practices serve as a gateway to deeper connection and alignment with the natural world, inviting us to cultivate reverence and gratitude for the blessings that surround us.
Embodied exploration: Guided by curiosity and intuition, we embark on a journey of body exploration, delving into the inner landscapes of sensation and perception. Through mindfulness practices and somatic awareness techniques, we deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us, expanding our understanding of the body's subtleties and intricacies.
In addition to this exploration, we engage in deep stretching exercises to intimately understand our physicality. Celebrating the joy of embodiment and self-expression, we intertwine these experiences with dance and other embodiment practices. With music as our guide, we surrender to the rhythms of the earth, allowing our bodies to move freely and authentically, in harmony with the flow of life. It's a holistic journey of self-discovery, where movement becomes not just physical exercise but a celebration of our connection to the world within and around us.
Awa Ceremony: Rooted in the ancient traditions of Hawaii, the Awa ceremony is a sacred ritual of communion and connection. Through the sharing of Awa, a traditional Hawaiian beverage made from the roots of the Kava plant, we come together in a spirit of unity and reverence, honoring the bonds of community and the sanctity of the present moment.
The effect of this plant is profound, deeply rooting and simultaneously opening the heart and spirit. It balances our energy, allowing us to weave a deeper thread to the spirit of the origin of this sacred work we are learning.
As we come together, songs and chanting will be a significant part of the evening, while we weave a deeper thread to the spirit of the sacred lands of Hawai´i.
Together, these elements form a holistic tapestry of Hawaiian wisdom and embodied practice, inviting participants to journey deep into the heart of Aloha and discover the limitless potential of body, mind, and spirit.

The massage feels very cleansing and relaxing. It has in many ways a spiritual dimension. Especially when I learned this massage myself, I understood that massaging was a kind of mixture between meditation and dance. Alicia is an incredibly warm and interesting person and has a charismatic presence
