2006 Huna World Convention
July 19 - 23, 2006 at Cape Girardeau Masonic Temple,
2307 Broadway, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri

This updated information on the 2006 Huna Seminar includes
an introductory explanation of the process of
Ho`oponopono
and its basis in ancient traditional practices in Hawaii.

Please note NEW MEETING PLACES for the seminar itself and
for the Pre-Seminar and Post-Seminar Workshops.

The seminar will be held (Wednesday through Sunday) on the
ground-floor of the Cape Girardeau Masonic Temple. If you
step out of the Town House Inn and look down Broadway to
the right, the second building is the Masonic building.
Entrance is by the front door, then down a few steps to
the right to the meeting room. If you need to avoid steps,
go to the back entrance on the east side (left).

The location for the Pre-Seminar Intensive by Dr. La
Tourrette and the Post-Seminar Workshoop of Tex and Ann
Baker is the meeting downstairs meeting room of The Center
for Therapeutic Massage at 618 Bellevue Street. Proceed
east on Broadway (starts in front of the Town House Inn)
to Sprigg Street, turn left on Sprigg one block to
Bellevue to the third house on the left (corner house,
apartment house, paved alley, then The Center for
Therapeutic Massage). Entrance from Bellevue Street or the
side door near the front from the paved alley).

"Ho`oponopono: Making Things Right!"

... throughout ALL OF YOUR LIFE.

Right Thinking + Right ACTION = Right Future.

The first step in any healing technique, whether of
physical illness, mental or emotional trauma, or financial
or social difficulty, always kala (cleansing). This means
clearing out mental and emotional blocks, purging the body
of built-up toxins from unassimilated chemicals and
improper diet, or getting rid of such mental garbage as
jealousy or anger or "thinking poor." Any problem requires
"setting things right" before it is possible to make
positive progress in regaining a healthy mind, body, bank
account, or social inter-relationship.

The Hawaiian word for this process is HO`OPONOPONO. But
the term refers to a specific, ancient method of
problem-solving that was a prerequisite for any healing
procedure. This was done before the doctor arrived! And it
was done by all the people concerned with the problem. The
traditional procedure involved the `OHANA—the entire
family unit. This means every member of the family—from
the youngest child to the eldest great-grandparent, the
aunts and uncles, and cousins-from the nearest relative to
the thirty-second cousin twice removed! When the doctor
arrived—the Kahuna La`au Lapa`au—the first question
traditionally was: "Have you done the HO`OPONOPONO?"

I must emphasize the fact that HO`OPONOPONO was a
family-related problem-solving technique. The Hawaiians
have always been and still are keenly family-oriented and
all members of families had a closeness that is not easy
to understand in our "modern" era of isolated family
members. All members of the family knew each other
intimately. The time of HO`OPONO- PONO was not a "family
reunion" situation, in which members of the family have
not seen each other since the last gathering a year or
more before. The kahuna was also the family-doctor variety
that knew each member of the family and so understood
their problems.

In order to understand the problem-solving technique in
its traditional Hawaiian setting, you may need to read
some descriptions and examples, which cannot be included
here because of limitation of space. The best source is
Nana I Ke Kumu (Look to the Source), Vol. I, by Mary
Kawena Pukui, E. W. Haertig, and Catherine A. Lee. This
book, with its companion volume, are excellent sources of
information on every aspect of ancient Hawaiian life and
thought. There is a good description of HO`OPONOPONO in
Vol. I. Both volumes are published by HUI HANAI, 1300
Halona St., Honolulu, HI 96817. The paperback editions are
well-bound. Air parcel post is recommended for quicker
delivery.

Another source for information on the tradition of on
HO`OPONOPONO is Kahuna La`au Lapa`au: The Practice of
Hawaiian Herbal Medicine, by June Gutmanis, published by
Island Heritage Ltd., 828 Fort Street Mall, Suite 400,
Honolulu, HI 96813. Chapter Three (The Diagnosis) has a
good description of HO`OPONOPONO. The serious nature of
this ritual may be illustrated by the following quotation
(p. 19):
__________

The "setting right" with both god and man aided in the
restoring of mana and cleared the way for whatever medical
treatment the kahuna might prescribe.

Whether as part of a medical treatment or as a ritual to
restore social order, the call to ho'oponopono might be
made by an individual who had acted improperly or had been
wronged by another, by the elder of the troubled family,
or by a kahuna. Those involved on both sides of the
problem had to be present for the ho'oponopono. If any
were not present the effort of the ritual would be nothing
more than that of the council ('aha) meeting and would not
have the psychic and setting right power of a true
ho'oponopono. Everyone, both young and old, had to be in
agreement as to the seeking of a solution, to accepting
it, and to acting accordingly after the ho'oponopono was
over. Failure to keep promises made during the ritual was
one of the most serious offenses against the gods and the
person who broke such a promise would soon suffer
retaliation from the gods.
__________

An important facet of the technique is the Hawaiian belief
that forgiveness MUST be given, if asked for. Forgiveness
in Hawaiian is kala and means clearing the path (aka cord)
between the two persons involve. It also involves
RELEASING, so that the difficulty is completely
eradicated, not merely repressed.
The discussion in Nana I Ke Kumu concludes with this
summary:
_________

Hawaii's family therapy is the sum total of many parts:
prayer, discussion, arbitration, contrition, restitution,
forgiveness and releasing, and the thorough looking into
layers of action and feeling called mahiki. It is this sum
total of its many beneficial parts that makes ho'oponopono
a useful, effective method to remedy and even prevent
family discord.… Ho'oponopono may well be one of the
soundest methods to restore and maintain good family
relationships that any society has ever devised."
__________

Of what use is HO`OPONOPONO to us today? Is it a practical
method that can be used by modern-day Hawaiians, or even
non-Hawaiians? It is significant, I think, that the
authors of Nana I Ke Kumu observed that "when Christianity
came in, more than a century ago, ho`oponopono went out."
The reason is clear: it was thought that invocations to
"pagan gods" such as akua and aumakua were "sinful" and
therefore the practice was banned as soon as the
missionaries managed to get themselves into power.

Morrnah N. Simeona, a modern-day kahuna in the old
tradition, in the 1980's developed the technique of
HO`OPONOPONO into a form that can be used today. It
retains many of the ancient Hawaiian traditional elements.
The idea of `OHANA (family) has been expanded to mean a
group of closely related or associated persons —all the
persons involved in a problem. This version of the
technique was taught at our first Huna Seminar in Hawaii
(1980), of which Morrnah was the coordinator. Morrnah
conducted many of these sessions with groups who wanted to
work out disagreements or have other problems that have
come to a stalemate. All persons involved in the problem
must participate, and once the session has started, no one
is allowed to leave the group for any reason. Often the
procedure takes many hours; sometimes several days.


2006 Huna Seminar
PROGRAM NOTES

The annual seminar starts with the Basic Huna Class,
taught by the Rev. James V. Wingo, on Wednesday, July 19,
3:00 - 5:00 PM.

Ho`oponopono is the focus of this year's seminar. The
seminar itself begins Wednesday night at 7:00 PM, as our
own Greg Boyd opens the meeting.

The featured speaker is Jennifer Martin, Certified Huna
Teacher and author of recently published The Huna Warrior,
a novel based on Huna principles and practices. Her topic
is Communicating With Your Unihipili.

Following Jennifer's presentation, there will be a Book
Signing with Jennifer and other Huna authors. Books will
be available for purchase.

* * *
On Thursday morning, Dr. Ed and Jacqui Close start off the
day's program with Making Things Right in Your
Environment.

The inimitable Henry Krotoschin will be here from
Switzerland to present Every Single Human Being is a
Spiritual Being.

Dr. John M. La Tourrette will teach an intense 2-hour
session on ways of using Energy in making things right.
Dr. John will also teach a 2-day Pre-Seminar training
before the Seminar.

On Thursday evening, we have a return of the Southeast
Missouri Healing Arts Group, of which Huna Research, Inc.
is a sponsor. This session was well received last year.
Professional practitioners in various complementary
healing arts, such as therapeutic massage, reflexology,
and various energy healing modalities will be present for
15-minute sessions. The $15 fee allows you to choose three
practitioners for short sessions. After registering, be
sure to sign up at individual practitioner's list.

On Friday Tex and Ann Baker will launch the day's program
with some of their findings in exploring The Many Paths of
Huna, which is the theme of their 2-day Post-Seminar
Program..

In the afternoon, Dr. Joe Craig will lead us into
processes for Personal Evolution. During his presentation,
Dr. Joe will discuss the profound relationship among the
"Three Minds" (or :"Three Selves"), the "Four Bodies," and
the four Metaphysical Elements recognized by the Hawaiian
Kahuna. This can lead participants to understanding,
first, that the Mind and Body interactions represent a
Spiral, rather a continuum, and, second, that what the
person does leads either to a lower energy level
(Devolution) or a higher energy level (Evolution).

Chief Paul White Eagle will speak at 7:30 PM. He is Chief
of the AhNiYvWiYa Tribe.

* * *

Saturday morning brings us a unique technique for kala
(clearing and cleansing) with Dr. Betty Scott, emerita
professor from the University of Missouri (Columbia):
Shamanic Rock Technique.

Another new presenter is Sheila LaPlante, M.S.O.M., L.Ac.,
Dipl.Ac. All those letters mean she is a Master of
Oriental Medicine and Licensed in Acupuncture and
Herbology. Her practice is in East Prairie and Cape
Girardeau. She will share some of her expertise on healing
with oriental medicine.

The Rev. James V. Wingo will teach the concluding session
on Saturday afternoon. We may never know the topic till
he starts speaking.

* * *

Sunday is a half-day session, starting with the Huna
`Ohana [Family Meeting] with Greg Boyd, and a closing
ceremony ending at noon.
