In ‘Ulu, you will draw from various movement disciplines which flex and stimulate the iwi kuamo’o (spinal cord). Breathing exercises help shift energy throughout the body and the auric field immediately surrounding the body. Use sound as a tool to activate the nervous system, DNA, cells and chromosomes – believed to be home to sacred codes and memory.

The practice of ‘Ulu is synonymous with human emotion. The human emotion is experienced at full spectrum, including its movement and percussion in the body. This 2-hour workshop will focus on the emotional quality known as COMPASSION

What is compassion as an emotion? How does compassion move and sound? This workshop will locate that essence in our own iwi kuamo’o to extract and radiate outward.

Pohala Botanicals founder Ke’oni Hanalei leads this workshop. He inherited this wisdom from his grandmother, Kau’ikeonalani, and his Mū-Hawaiian lineage. Born and raised on the island of Maui, Ke’oni was indoctrinated into many Hawaiian sacred rites by the Mū people. To read more about Ke’oni, please visit Pohala.net.

Accompanying Ke'oni will be Kelly Sears of Hawai’i Island, of Liquid Light Magik. Kelly is a talented frequency harmonics facilitator who will be performing vocal toning and sound medicine at this workshop. Kellys Insta
