Our school is dedicated to preserving the teachings of our Ancestors. These teachings are timeless and we can learn how to apply them in our modern lives – our Ancestors knew these teachings would have as much relevance today as they did in times past and so they preserved them so that they can continue to be learned, shared, applied and perpetuated. When you do a course with the school, after on-costs, your fees go towards community projects – you can read about our Projects and get updates on our Projects Page. You give as you receive and together we will build our ‘ohana (community). It’s how we honour the Ancestors and the gift they have left us in the Teachings.

There is a Hawaiian Proverb “love gives life within”. In our school we recognise that we can move forward as a Global Community if we decide to reset our starting place. And that place is understanding there can be no separation between Us and Everything else. It’s not only about understanding we cannot be separate from the rest of Existence, but knowing HOW we cannot be separate. “No Separation” is the foundational message of our school. Our time is calling for a Global Community – an “international nation” people who know and understand they are part of Nature, of the Universe, of something more than themselves and know how to live this way. Nature already knows truth, Humankind

Our Logo is a symbol of where we are on the Earth and our connection to our place of Origin, our Ancestors, Guardians and all things in this Universe. The Lehua Flower Blossoms are flowers of ʻike – knowledge and wisdom. In many stories and chants the Kupuna/Elders are referred to as Lehua Blossoms. It is said when you see all of the colours of the Lehua together, you are seeing all the ʻike of the Universe – which makes it a perfect symbol for our work. Both are reminders of unconditional love as the driving force of the Universe…
