What's On in Burnside

Are you troubled by bad relationships - with those close to you, what's happening further away, or even within yourself? Would you like to be clearer - in spirit, mind and body? Unshakeable in foundation? Have you felt called to sharing your gifts, learning, and even living with a more connected community? Aloha mai Kākou. I acknowledge the original custodians of Wadandi Boodja and elders past, present and emerging. I am deeply grateful for the permission given to conduct and teach these practices here. The ancient stories tell of a collaborative society where everything was right and true (Pono). Then came the mischievous ones and those that had crossed the line of no return, bringing a separation into servants and ruling chiefs, human sacrifice, etc. Those who were Pono set sail to new islands. “Pupukahi i holomua” - paddle together to move forward. Our journey together may start on Friday at sunset. And after sunset, it is time to eat, sing, talk and sleep. We begin outdoors at sunrise on Saturday at 655am. Around 830am we will move indoors to The Barn where we will begin again with Pule - calling out to our gods, guardians and ancestors and those of the land. Pule is one of the first layers of our Unshakeable Foundation, together with a relationship with the spirit being(s) we talk with. “This is not religion. Too much has been done in the name of religion. This is Spirituality” We will introduce ourselves - what is your name, where are you from and why are you here? We will talk story (kuka kuka) and set our destinations for the weekend and beyond. Why are we here? When ready, informed and if willing, we can move into the traditional process of clearing called Ho’oponopono. We will enter the session as a group, to clear our relationship with each other so that we can journey together with the full power of our Aloha (love) and Mana (spirit power), with no hang ups. As we learn and share we will become clearer in our knowing. It is not just the layers that make up our Foundation but the way they interact and connect to make it Unshakeable. I also share freely, the 12 components that can work together for our communities. As we come to a close on Sunday, we will finish also understanding what we are here to do, as part of the whole, including our families and communities.
