From Hawai'i Magazine: The ʻōhiʻa lehua flower is mentioned in many Hawaiian moʻolelo; one of the more significant legends tells of its creation. According to the well-known Hawaiian tale, there once was a beautiful man named ʻŌhiʻa, so good-looking he attracted the gaze of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire. Unfortunately for Pele, ʻŌhiʻa had his eyes set on a woman named Lehua. In a fit of rage, Pele transformed ʻŌhiʻa into an ugly, gnarled tree, and while Lehua tried to convince Pele to change him back, she refused. In a compromise, they decided to transform Lehua into a beautiful flower that would adorn the ʻōhiʻa tree, so the lovers could stay together forever.
"I’m speechless! What I’m feeling and thinking after the retreat is something so magical that is difficult to put into words. Perhaps is a combination of peacefulness and understanding that has me focused and present a lot more than I was before. I have a sense of self-love and surrendering to what is that I had not experience in a long time or ever. I’m deeply thankful for this retreat and the connection that has created for us with ourselves, others, our planet and our ancestors. The journey continues."
"In the 5 years that I've been doing shamanic (and all types of) healing work, the clarity and deep clearing that I experienced on this trip were among most profound I've experienced to date. The space and the plant medicines allowed for very tightly held beliefs, patterns, and structures to be unearthed during the trip - ones that I didn't fully know were there and that I hadn't allowed myself to see until taking the time for myself and investing in myself in this way. Jane is incredible at holding the space for your own healing to occur."
"Jane. You held all of us so lovingly, and so well in all spaces-- even when you weren't around. You are everywhere. You are a beautiful representation of what this journey to enlightenment looks like. Your raw truth and humble heart healed so much within myself. I love you seems like such small words to how I feel about you. Thank you, Jane. Thank you."
