Our Huna Intensive is held twice each year. For our last one, we
chose Rotorua because it is part of the roots of the Ancient Huna
teaching. According to tradition in 1340, 7 canoes left Hawai'i and
arrived in New Zealand. In the ensuing years the Maori culture, as
you will see, enforced their boundaries in a way that the Hawaiians
did not, and so, preserved the ancient teachings in a way which was
not possible in Hawai'i. Many of the ancient concepts present in the
1300 in Hawai'i, have long since disappeared. But they still survive
in the Maori tradition. And so, we felt it was time for us to go back
to our roots.

One of the
most interesting events is the formal Maori welcome called "whare"
and pronounced "fah-re" . They say, "Kia
Ora", meaning "Welcome." |

This site was abandoned after 1820 and fell into disuse. It was revived sometime in the 1950's and the site of the Heiau (Temple) was rededicated by Uncle George Naope, who is one of our teachers. |
