"the spirit of bringing people together"
When: TBA 2026
Where: O'ahu Island.
Discover the Sacred Essence of Oʻahu
Embark on an extraordinary huakaʻi (journey) across the beautiful island of Oʻahu—the celebrated island of my birth.
Kuana'ike Sprit Festival 2026
Experience the profound spiritual energy of the land through the Kuanaʻike Spirit Festival 2025. From March 21-23, this transformative gathering at the Hyatt Regency Waikīkī Beach Resort will bring together spiritual leaders, cultural practitioners, and wisdom keepers to share the teachings of Aloha, ʻIke (knowledge), and Mana (divine power) in a collective quest for inspiration, empowerment, and stewardship
Your journey will also include visits to two of Oʻahu’s most spiritually significant locations:
Kaʻena Point: The Leina a ka ʻUhane
At the island’s westernmost tip lies Kaʻena Point, a breathtaking natural reserve revered in Hawaiian culture as the Leina a ka ʻUhane—the “leaping place of souls.” Here, the living energy of the land, sea, and sky converges, offering a chance to reconnect with your ancestors and the spiritual essence of Hawaiʻi. The rugged beauty of the coastline, the nesting albatross, and the sacred tranquility will leave you profoundly moved.
Makua Valley: The Heartbeat of the Koʻolau
Nestled between the dramatic cliffs of the Waiʻanae mountain range, Makua Valley is a sacred site where ancient ceremonies once honored the gods of creation. This place holds stories of the gods and the deep connections between people and ʻāina (land). Immerse yourself in the spirit of Makua and feel the pulsing lifeforce of a valley known for its rich cultural history and natural grandeur.
This sacred journey invites you to honor your connection to the past while embracing a vision for the future, guided by the teachings shared during the Kuanaʻike Spirit Festival. Spaces are limited for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, so reserve your place now and prepare to walk the path of Aloha on your ancestral land. E hoʻōla i ka ʻike kahiko—revitalize the ancient wisdom!
Protocols and Ceremony
The Essence of Hawaiian Spirituality
In the Hawaiian worldview, the rainbow (nā ānuenue) is a powerful symbol that represents spiritual blessings, great change, the connection between heaven and earth, and the spiritual presence of ancestors (poʻe kahiko).
To be a Rainbow Warrior in this context means to:
- Protect and honor the land ('āina) as a sacred relative, Ohana.
- Embrace unity across all peoples and nations, bridging differences with Aloha.
- Seek truth and healing for past and present imbalances—whether spiritual, social, or ecological.
- Carry ancestral wisdom forward, leading with integrity, strength (Kū), and compassion.
A Rainbow Warrior, therefore, is someone who rises to meet life's challenges with a spirit of resilience, leadership, and unconditional love, embodying both ancient wisdom and modern responsibility. For those participating in our journey, this becomes a call to stand as protectors of All Life, rooted in cultural and spiritual teachings while carrying forward a vision of peace and sustainability for future generations.
The purpose of this retreat is to communicate with our ancestors, to feel them and understand them in the core of our beings.
