What an exciting time in which we live! The human spirit is experiencing an immense awakening of consciousness. God (Ke Akua), ancestors and the Aloha Spirit are urging us forward, guiding us as we evolve, heal and re-connect our collective energies.

Can we support ourselves and others in this great healing journey we all share?

YES! Now is the time to learn hands-on healing that is heart-centered, powerful, effective yet gentle.

Imagine learning the mystical healing art of Lomilomi Hawaiian Massage with a soul nurturing spiritual journey!

You are invited to learn some of the healing traditions of the Hawaiian Islands in our two-part Hawaiian Lomilomi workshop.

This sounds exotic! What is Lomilomi Hawaiian Massage?

Lomilomi Hawaiian massage is a form of bodywork grounded in the ancient beliefs and practices of the Hawaiian people. In Hawaiian language, lomilomi means to “to massage, to shift; vibrational touch therapy”. Lomilomi massage implements long, flowing forearm strokes which bring deep relaxation and rejuvenation to the body, mind and spirit of the receiver. Practitioners of this deeply soothing modality often find that they themselves receive an expanded sense of connection to their clients as well as ease of movement and less physical exertion during sessions.

Through skilled instruction, you will learn how to apply practical Lomilomi techniques to affect real change in your clients. You will receive teachings and lessons that encourage expansion of your comfort zone and the release of self-limiting belief patterns.

Cultural Roots of Lomilomi Massage

To many Hawaiian families, lomilomi massage is a part of everyday life used to soothe and nurture loved ones. In the professional therapeutic setting, lomilomi massage brings a deep sense of physical and spiritual well being to both client and therapist. Lomilomi teaches recognition of the energetic relationship that exists between therapist (giver) and client (receiver) much like the relationship a surfer has with a big wave. The surfer prepares through physical training, honoring intuition and keen observation, but once on the great sea (moana), she soon learns that it is the wave that controls the ride! In this practice, you are the surfer and the client is the wave. Working in unity (lokahi) can bring great healing to the receiver.

Do I need any prior experience with Hawaii or her people to take this workshop?

Do I need to me a massage therapist to participate?

A resounding “no”. No prior experience with Hawaii, her people or professional training are required for this training. The teachings are applicable to professional therapists and those who which to bring loving touch to their families. Lomilomi massage is like chicken soup: every family has a style or recipe which brings comfort to the recipient.

Many years ago several Hawaiian elders agreed that it was past time to offer their healing beliefs and techniques to the world. This workshop is open to anyone who desires to enrich their personal journey or expand their healing arts practice. At its heart (pu’u wai), Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage intends to bring joy, blessing and healing to giver, receiver and the planet. Come with hearts and minds open and ready to receive these sacred cultural teachings.

Is this workshop and retreat right for me? Yes, if you…

• desire to bring more spiritual connection to your work and life
• are willing to connect soul to soul with another to create limitless transformation for body, mind and spirit
• are ready to learn a sacred modality which brings more ease and less exertion to your body
• are ready to deepen your personal spiritual journey through sacred teachings and lessons

Are you ready to deepen your body-mind-spirit connection more than you ever thought possible?

Enjoy warm breezes, soothing sounds of the ocean and sunny days filled with movement meditations, energizing breathing techniques, powerful chants and so much more! The deeper we dive, the more we expand. As we expand, the body relaxes, the mind calms and one is able to experience powerful healing.

Lomilomi massage is so much more than techniques; it’s a true spiritual practice that is personal, unique and heart centered. As we dive more deeply into Lomilomi, you’ll learn to communicate through the soft tissues of the physical body, the subtle fields of the energy body, and the divine wisdom of the spiritual body.
