What is Hawaiian Wisdom?
The wisdom of Hawaiian culture offers deep guidance for living with love, openness, respect, and connection — to ourselves, to one another, to the earth, and to spirit — while embracing the passionate responsibility of creating the life we truly desire.
In Western culture, we are often taught that we are separate, powerless, and defined by opposites — light and dark, good and bad, masculine and feminine. Hawaiian wisdom offers a different perspective: it shows us that all things are connected, that what separates us is often only our perception, and that we have the power to shape our own lives and our world.
At its heart is Aloha — love, joy, authenticity, and living in harmony with ourselves, others, and the earth. This wisdom encourages us to live with openness, respect, and responsibility, and to embrace our fullest potential as conscious co-creators of our lives.
Over many years, Charlie has developed 9 Hawaiian Inspirations, created with guidance from respected Kumu (Hawaiian teacher) Aunty Mahealani Kuamo‘o-Henry, to support individuals in stepping into their truth and power. These inspirations are integrated into our Lomilomi trainings to guide students in their practice, as well as in Pa‘a Sessions, where they can be explored more deeply to support each person’s unique journey.
What is Hoʻoponopono?
Ho‘oponopono: A Living Practice for Alignment and Joy
The word pono means “right” or “that which is right for oneself,” and ho‘o means “to take action.” Together, Ho‘oponopono means “to make more right that which is already right.” It is rooted in the Hawaiian understanding that every person is born knowing how to live joyfully, in unconditional love. Over time, however, it is easy to step away from this natural state. Ho‘oponopono is a practice that helps us return to our natural way of being, reconnecting with our joy, clarity, and inner guidance.
Traditionally, Ho‘oponopono has been applied in various ways — from facilitated conversations between individuals who have fallen out, to mediated family gatherings designed to restore harmony. In our Pa‘a Sessions, we focus on the practice as an individual living practice, supporting each person to explore and resolve what may be preventing them from living joyfully and in alignment with themselves.
Through this process, clients can:
-
Identify and release emotional or energetic “baggage” from the past
-
Shift limiting beliefs about themselves or others
-
Create space for renewed connections and harmonious relationships
-
Deepen their connection with akua (spirit) and their own inner guidance
These sessions are always conducted with care, positivity, and support, even when discussions touch on challenging or sensitive areas. Ho‘oponopono is not tied to any religion, but instead honors the understanding that we are spiritual as well as physical beings, capable of creating clarity, balance, and joy in our lives.
Ho‘oponopono practices are recommended for anyone who feels held back, is struggling to find happiness, or wishes to make choices that allow them to love themselves and those around them more fully. When practiced as a living, everyday approach, it can guide us toward greater peace, clarity, and alignment with our own truth.
