Ayahuasca Retreat in Hawaii? Celebrate our "Hawaiaka" Sacred Plants, Kona Coast
With Shaman Jack 'Golden Feather' and Dr.ZZ
July 17, 2022
“Ayahuasca” is the term generally used to describe a home-brewed tea made from 2 or more psychoactive plants that grow in the Amazon rain forest. Hawaii and the Southwest Pacific Rim, however, host a variety of their own indigenous entheogens (psychotropic plants that induce a spiritual experience aimed at, literally, “becoming one with God”), and these Master Plants (plants that teach) have been used for thousands of years in sacred rituals, healing practices, and spiritual ceremonies.
“I didn’t feel that different from how I feel in the opening rounds with Ayahuasca. Colors became a little more saturated, and I began to feel less like an intruder, more at one and at peace with all of the nature around me. I felt like I was vibrating and somehow blending in with everything around me.”
— A regular ayahuasca participant
This is to invite you to visit us on Hawaii Island to enjoy and celebrate pur “Hawaaiaka,” the native magical plants that live here in the middle of the world’s largest ocean, the ocean named after Peace. These psychoactive plant teachers have been growing in the surrounding Pacific jungles and have been breathing, propagating, rooting themselves and contributing to indigenous sacred rituals and ceremonies since ancient times. Furthermore, depending on where you are in the world, it is often more convenient — and a heck of a lot more relaxing — to come to Hawaii than it is to travel to South America.
Available every Sunday evening throughout the year, starting at roughly 6:00 PM and lasting for several hours, Muaisa Hale Pule (“As I Aum” Sanctuary) offers Master Plant circles in upcountry Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. These Hawaiaka ceremonies do not attempt to imitate or recreate Peru. Rather, they are a ceremonial opportunity, led by authentic, recognized shamans, who personally prepare these ancient, psychoactive brews for people to interact with the entheogenic plant teachers of Hawaii and the Southwest Pacific Rim — on location, in the plants’ native habitat.
“This brew took a very definite hold of me in a way I hadn’t quite experienced before. It didn’t have that heavy, physical, ayahuasca sensation; so it was clearer than ayahuasca. The jungle around me took on a beautiful, crisp glow. Things seemed to pulse and flow in a rhythm that I was part of.The insects and frogs chirping away seemed to speak a language that I could almost understand.”
— A seasoned teaching plant explorer
After all, one of the central themes of working with Master Plants is to experience yourself as being one with nature and as an integral part of the natural world. What better place to connect to All That IS and to experience a greater sense of “being” and contentment than Hawaii?
Muaisa Hale Pule is an official Chapter of the New Haven Native American Church (NHNAC), which is in direct lineage to The Rosebud Native American Church, whose authority was legally established with the United States government in 1924. We are duly recognized as a 501(c)(3) by the IRS and are authorized to conduct our affairs in the state of Hawaii. Feel free to get in touch via the “Ask host a question” link above; so that we may share our phone number and website info with you and send along FAQ and Ceremony Guidelines with the required Application form and Consent/waiver for the ceremonies. Till then becomes now. . . Great Spirit blessings!
