A 3-Day Workshop Series
Beginning Valentine's Day
Together we will embrace (understand) the primary (fundamental) relationship of our feminine and masculine qualities.
Join us as we romance and embrace our true nature of inner harmony. Divinity, Feminine Spirit, Masculine Spirit, and Divine Love are inherent in all human beings – no matter whether we are male or female. We were created out of the union of both aspects of divine spirit and we all have both aspects of Divinity within us. Only through the reconciliation and 'marriage' of our inner male and female aspects, can we begin to find inner balance, and with it, inner and outer harmony.

Day 1: Hui Wahine
with Hō’i’o Kula Fern (Divine Rest)
The Sacred Feminine will be facilitated and guided by Marni Suu Reynolds. The feminine (Wahine) energy channel represents life itself. It is a form of energy that all beings possess. Known by many names such as shakti, yin, and lunar energy, this energy is often connected symbolically with the Moon, Venus, Gaia (Mother Earth), water, and air. The embrace of the sacred divine feminine is found in; flow, nurturance, intuition, emotions, art/music, receptivity, change, manifestation, and balance. The Divine Feminine is the aspect of the self associated with:
Creation & Birth & Love
Divine Cosmic Ma, Venus
The Dreamer
Sensuality & Sexuality
Rebirth & Renewal
Inter-dependant & Collaboration
Women (or those who identify with the feminine energy channel) in command of this energy, hold the key to all of creation’s expressions and manifestations. The Divine Feminine is an energy, which means she can’t be seen or heard, but she can be felt. In her truest nature, she is nurturing, motherly energy, and affectionate. Beauty, sensuality, attraction. Creativity and inspiration in their purest form. Peace and harmony. Abundance, and the knowledge that the earth will always provide enough. Intuitive and fully open to receive. Empowered within. Honored and respected. She is divinely connected to mother earth.
When this force is not understood and becomes misdirected, the feminine energy expresses itself as isolation, depression, lust, greed, and suffering. Properly channeled, She can have the very means of creativity, spontaneity, and passion reign supreme in a fulfilling existence. Similar to misdirected masculinity, anger and confusion become the norm as if the host is intoxicated by their own life-force. Therefore, the feminine energy channel is the container of all that we experience, born into, and go away from.
- The Heart Lotus Meditation & Rose or Flower Ceremony -
Led by Marni Suu Reynolds, this 3-hour exploration will include an interactive lecture covering the points described. We will incorporate a Heart Lotus Meditation, with Kundalini Breathwork and Sound Healing. Be prepared to breathe, flow, and embrace the essence of the feminine energy with the support of Hō’i’o Kula Fern (Divine Rest) and flowers.
Have a yoga mat/cushion/blanket, journal, fern medicine, and roses or flowers.
The Feminine embraces itself with...
Creative Rhythm and Flow
Deep Conscious Listening
Non-Competition
Voicing her Truth
Honoring the Divine Feminine with rest, rejuvenation, and creative splendor of dance = Embodiment.
Day 2: Hui Kāne
with Waikau Fern (Divine Courage)
The Sacred Masculine will be facilitated and guided by Ke’oni Hanalei of Pōhala Botanicals. A gendered male avatar who was raised by the masculine gendered woman of the lineage of one of the last female kahuna’s of Maui, Naho’opi’ihaokamakakahukilanilonohiwakaula.
The romance with the energetic masculine can be felt as a verb. Meaning, it’s about action, movement, rhythm, momentum, and enforcements. In our exploration of the Kane, the internal brother, we may observe how the verb has served us historically and presently — this is both referenced collectively and individually.
Like all things in a world compressed on excessive “data,” it is most responsible for us to examine the distortions, misunderstandings, and abuse of the masculine function. Only then, in simple recognition, can we expand deeper into the highest and most pure potential of, what I like to call, the HERO.
The Divine Masculine has been described as a HERO due to its capacity to ENFORCE the longevity, protection, practicality, relatability, effectiveness, and precision of QUALITY of life.
The masculine is brilliant
It is a magician of the linear
Of solutions and results
Of the materials and the matter
It is heart-focused
That of expansion
Succession
Will-power
Logic
Reason
Mirth and Merriment
In this 3-hour exploration, we’ll offer an interactive lecture covering the highlighted points described. We will incorporate an ‘Ulu practice to invigorate the fuel of the masculine ~ movement and rhythm, breath. Be prepared to participate in some subtle and moderate movement. Best to have a yoga mat or towel, pillow, and access to a flat surface to sit on.
Ultimately, the internal masculine, being logic strong, relies on “instructions” — it is its great skill to transfer CLEAR instructions and produce RESULTS. For this reason, it is incredibly essential the masculine learn to:
1. Humble itself
2. LISTEN
3. Remember its innate CONFIDENCE (as opposed to arrogance)
-and-
4. Resurrect its honoring of COMMUNITY
Arriving at and accepting this understanding is the goal of this segment of the workshop.
Day 3: Divine Unity
Integration & Community Check-In (optional)
Ke'oni Hanalei and Marni Suu Reynolds will host an integration call, touching on aspects of unity. This will include an open discussion and breathwork practice to experience ALOHA MĀ ~ Self-reflective Love.
The Uroboros symbolizes the union of known (associated with spirit) and unknown (associated with matter), explored and unexplored; symbolizes the juxtaposition of the “masculine” principles of security, tyranny, and order with the “feminine” principles of darkness, dissolution, creativity, and chaos. Or Anima & Animas, Yin & Yang, Shakti & Shiva. In Chinese philosophy, Yin & Yang are a balance between negative and positive, passive and active, feminine and masculine. But the two energies depend on one another.
