You are a spiritual entrepreneur who provides services to clients rooted in indigenous or traditional ancestral knowledge and are unsure how to present this information in a way that is ethical but relatable to a contemporary audience. 

SHOWNOTES: 

As I deepen my relationship to Daoist spirituality and philosophy, I am learning that there is more that connects us than divides us. When we anchor into traditional practices, regardless of where it comes from, the thread that roots the work is our connection to nature. I had the honor of interviewing Ke’oni Hanalei who is a descendant of the Mū people, the inhabitants of Papahānaumokuakea (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) before the migration of the Polynesians, through the lines of Kā’ō’u’ikalanikaleimaumau, Ololu on his maternal grandmothers line, and Mahat on his maternal grandfathers line. 

What I found fascinating about our conversation is that despite the fact that our spiritual lineages were separated in time and space, there was so much overlap that we were able to find a common language to speak about the energetics of boundaries, presence and trauma activation through the unique lens of our traditions. 

Come join us as we discus how practitioners inspired by traditional medicinal lineages can share ancient ways of knowing in a way that honors the sacred core principles of its teachings.

What You'll Learn in this Episode:

• Holding healthy boundaries around traditional medicine and ways of knowing
• How boundaries can be seen an invitation rather than rejection
• The importance of staying present in the body to spiritual practice 
• How sacred trauma can act as an activator for re-alignment with your Dao
• How balanced yin and yang can facilitate the ability to discern and then take practical action

Ke’oni  is a descendant of the Mū people, the inhabitants of Papahānaumokuakea (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) before the migration of the Polynesians. His maternal grandmother, Kau’ikeonalani, was a well known healer on the island of Maui. Ke’oni was fortunate to become hanaid (adopted) by Kau’ikeonalani upon birth and spent the first 5 years of his life immersed in ancient practice and mysticism.

We explore how you can honor the natural seasonal rhythms and use the natural pause in summer to tap into the heart-mind, set boundaries and clear intentions, and work on openness, connection and communication with your clients.

SHOWNOTES:
