Journey to
Kanaka Makua
Rediscovering the Light of Island Wisdom
few years ago a message went out across land and sea. The conch shell blew to the four directions and the Pahu drum sounded in the distance. The call was being made to make the journey home, the Journey to Kanaka Makua. You have answered that call. Aloha and Welcome.

In Hawaii, a Kanaka Makua is a complete human being, mature in every sense. Someone who, through self knowledge, has developed mastery over each aspect of life. Someone whose connection to Spirit motivates and guides their heart, mind, and body.

To achieve mastery it is helpful to learn certain values and characteristics, the tools which make development possible. These tools have now been passed to you. Each one has a message to light your path like a torch through the night. Follow their guidance and rediscover the light of island wisdom.

The Torch is Passed

Your mission is to bring the light of Pacific Wisdom back into your life. Learn to carry it in your body, understand it with your mind, and feel it in your heart. The spiritual values presented here are only the beginning. They can point you in the right direction but YOU must take each step. This is the greatest journey you can make, leading to true freedom and lasting happiness.

You will travel far on this quest and you won't have to go anywhere. This journey takes place inside. There you will find the real torches waiting to be sparked by an ancient fire igniting your soul.
