ALOHA!
The ancient practice known as ‘ULU, which has historical references dating back an impressive 20,000 years, can be regarded as the most archaic breath and movement practice known to humanity. Its fundamental and primary function is designed to effectively orient the Light Being of Man within the physical Material of Man. This unique and radical protocol serves as a method of acclimation into a tangible world of form and existence. As we go through the process of materialization, we simultaneously engage in the act of spiritualization. This essential light must first undergo a complete experience of integration before it can be fully accomplished. With a concentrated focus on the 33 vertebrae of the human spinal cord, referred to as iwi kuamo’o in Hawaiian—translated as the 'dragon bone of succession'—we work to consolidate akasha, integrate it, and ultimately spiritualize these elements. With an extensive repertoire of over 12,000 proper ‘ULU designs, we are committed to guiding you through just a select few of the most potent and relevant activators, all intended to assist in the spiritualization of humanity.
I am of a culture that has been selective in who this is shared with, and when it can be shared. I have prayed to the kūpuna, elders, to my lineage. We have come to a point where anything BUT sharing this ‘Ike, knowledge, translates as depriving the world of a life-changing technology, science, and spirit that truly does not belong to anyone. It must be fully expressed, now.

“…life cannot function meaningfully when each person acts independently. Also, just as the smallest wheel is necessary to make the spinning wheel work properly. Every individual that God has created is an integral part of the whole, and must work in unison with others so that life can be smooth and in harmony. Nobody is dispensable.”
— Arun Gandhi in Legacy of Love p. 114

“True generosity is rooted in relatedness.”
