August 30th - September 6th, 2026 - Kumu Jane Lewis

Dr. Jane Lewis

When I first became aware that teaching people to heal was my purpose in life it seemed a very big task. At the same time, I know from my own experience just how powerful tools and principles like forgiveness, living with aloha, emotional release, resolving personal conflicts, connecting to your purpose and developing your personal connection with higher consciousness can be.

I was also  conflicted. I’d spent much of my working life in the corporate and consultancy world, moving into organisational and executive coaching in the late 1990s, and it took me a long time to reconcile the two, and to stand in my own power as both a career and leadership coach and trainer and a spiritual teacher and healer.

It was the tools I learned from Huna that helped me to do this.

The Secret Art of Huna

Imagine a world where people know they have all the tools they need to heal themselves spiritually, mentally and emotionally; where disease and chronic stress are rare; and where trauma is quickly recognised and healed.
That’s my vision for the world.

Impossible? Well, that was the state of Hawaii when Captain Cook and his merry men first ‘discovered’ it. A group of happy, healthy, well-balanced people with their own healing traditions and understanding of all forms of illness. Cook’s men documented it.

I’m a teacher, coach, mentor and healer. I help people find the fastest routes to deep mental, emotional (and so, sometimes, physical) healing and change. I use many different strands of knowledge in my work. In particular I combine the ancient wisdom of Huna – the secret spiritual, healing and life teachings of the ancient Hawaiians – with modern coaching principles. I also teach other coaches to accelerate and deepen the results their clients get by combining ancient wisdom and modern coaching practices.

Level 1 Intensive Retreat

Some teachings find you before you can explain why. Huna is often one of them.

Whether you have been curious about it for years or you are only just hearing its name, something in you already knows this is worth paying attention to. These are the ancient Hawaiian teachings of healing, manifestation, and deep personal freedom, and they are as practical as they are powerful.

This retreat is where the secret art of Huna begins.

What Could Your Life Look Like If You Let Go Of What Holds You Back?

So many of us carry the weight of old emotions, old beliefs, old stories without ever questioning the true cost of that weight on our health, our joy, our relationships, and our sense of possibility.

Huna offers something rare: a path that is both deeply spiritual and completely practical. Rapid. Compassionate. Real.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the South of France! - Kumu Jane and Jen

Click here to read more about Soul Stirring Retreats. While much of this info focuses on art retreats in the South of France and Kumu Jane is leading a Huna Level 1 retreat, the info on the venue and area is the same for all retreats.

This retreat is for you if you find yourself asking:

  • Am I truly happy?

  • Am I living the life I was meant to live?

  • Why do I keep holding myself back?

  • How do I stop comparing myself to others and start trusting myself?

  • Do I fear being seen, or fear failing, more than I desire what I truly want?

  • How do I connect more deeply with my true self, with Source, with something greater?

  • How can I heal myself and support others in their healing?

  • Surely there is more to life than this?

If any of these questions live inside you, you are exactly who this retreat is for.

Who Will Benefit From This Retreat?

This retreat is for spiritually minded people who are ready for more. People who feel the call of Hawai'i even if they have never been able to name why. People who want to develop their ability to manifest, to heal, to connect. People who are done letting history and old stories write their future.

It is for you if you have had a taste of Huna and want to go deeper. It is equally for you if Huna is completely new but something in you simply feels called.

Come as you are. Leave transformed.

What You Will Receive and Learn

Over six days in the beauty of the South of France, we will do substantial, meaningful work together. You will leave with tools and practices you can use for yourself, and with the people in your life, for years to come.

The curriculum includes:

  • Initiation into the elements. In more traditional schools this can take years. Using modern approaches and Huna itself, we have significantly reduced that timeline without diminishing the depth of the experience.

  • Practical experience of working with the elements for manifestation

  • The walking meditation of the kahunas, how to stay calm and grounded at any moment

  • Healing with the elements for yourself and others

  • Deep connection with your Higher Self and with Source

  • Resolving dichotomies and dilemmas so you can step out of your stories and help others do the same

  • Dream interpretation you can use anywhere, anytime

  • The basics of Hawaiian chanting and the extraordinary vibration it carries

  • The 4 key assumptions or laws that elevate your manifestation work to a new level

  • Ho'oponopono, the Hawaiian forgiveness process, taught in a way that goes far beyond what most people have experienced

  • How to use the release techniques for yourself independently, without being guided

  • How to protect and clear your own energy field

  • Initiation into an energy system that deepens your connection to the highest feminine energy on the planet and enhances your ability to heal yourself

  • A comprehensive manual to support your practice long after you return home

  • The opportunity to continue in virtual community and support if you so choose through monthly connection calls, meditations, and masterclasses with Kumu Jane

What Huna Will Give You

You will walk away from this retreat knowing more about yourself and the world around you than modern science alone can offer.

You will feel more connected, more centred, and more free. You will have tools for emotional release that you can use on your own, any time you need them. You will have practices you can share with friends, family, or clients.

You will have experienced the true meaning of Aloha, that deep and unconditional love at the heart of the Hawaiian tradition.

Imagine being able to interpret your dreams, and help others interpret theirs.

Imagine trusting your instincts and your intuition without the familiar flood of doubt.

Imagine feeling genuinely hopeful, lighter, and filled with a joy that does not depend on circumstances.

That is what Huna can give you.
