This Training is for Ka Huna Bodywork students and practitioners who are ready to go deeper.
If you've completed the Foundational Ka Huna Massage Practitioner Training with Embodied Living (or an equivalent), then this is your next step.
Each deepening training is its own unique experience, exploring the spirit, art and skill of the practice in a new way every time. This means that even if you've attended the deepening training before, the experience won't be the same.
In essence, we only continue to deepen in this practice, so you are invited to return, to meet the next layer of this bodywork, connect with Ohana and journey into the heart of this sacred practice.
Each deepening training is offered with the intention to support you in your growth, both as a bodyworker and on your individual path in life.
Awaken your ability to listen, to step in with all of your senses and to more deeply understand how to hold and be present to what is unfolding - both on and off the table.
If you're ready to solidify your foundation, revisit the teachings with fresh eyes and explore this bodywork on a new level - then this is your call.
Our sanctuary for the training is WildWing, a unique bush retreat, on Tasmania's north East Coast.
WildWing is the perfect place to sink in and be supported to learn, whilst connecting to the greater Ohana of the wild and natural world.
You're invited to slow down in this landscape, to hear the whispers of the ancestors and feel the rhythm of your own breath.
WildWing has been designed to support and live in a symbiotic relationship with nature. This means 100% solar power, regeneration of native bush & water systems that support native vegetation and animal habitat, composting and minimal waste systems and a general low impact attitude on the landscape.
Set on 25 acres of bush, with a fresh water creek and a 15-20 minute walk to the ocean, it is the perfect place to sync with the stars and the rhythms of the natural world.
All of the facilities for you to have a comfortable stay are provided, including hot showers, compost toilets, kitchen facilities, undercover hang areas, indoor training space, indoor and outdoor fires and a beautiful cedar-barrel hot tub, for soaking the bones under the stars in the evenings.
All accommodation at WildWing is camping (in either tent/swag or van/car). If you don't have your own camping gear, we have deluxe double swags available to rent, for a minimal fee.

If you're not familiar with Tassie's North East coast, then prepare to be in awe of the sublime beauty on offer. Surrounded by pristine beaches, fresh waterholes and with the warmth of early Summer, you can enjoy the full magic of this place.

Directions to WildWing will be issued upon booking (~2 hours from Launceston, ~3.5 hours drive from Hobart).
The Location
What you'll learn:
The Deepening Training will guide you into the next layer of this bodywork, from wherever you are.
It will nourish and expand your intuitive flow and connect you into your deep knowing.
You'll be introduced to new ways of moving, sensing, and supporting the body in its healing and deepening into the art of touch.
There will be new gestures shared, such as more ‘remedial-style’ touch, various holds and manoeuvring bodies on the table and guidance around how to work with with bones, joints and fascia.
You'll learn how to work with the specific and individuakl needs of another and grow into your unique style as a bodyworker.
Alongside the new teachings, we will again and again, return to the foundations.
Without a solid foundation, nothing else sticks and it is from this foundation that everything else is born.
We will continue to return and deepen into the traditional philosophies and principles that the practice is built upon and
you'll be supported to come into alignment with self and your relationships with spirit, land & ohana.
Your alignment is always the priority, so that you can move from a grounded place, to effectively support others.
Food for the Soul
We know how important it is to nourish the body in every way, which is why we have the beautiful Jo Arohanui Wolff to fill your bellies during the training.
Jo is a wholefood cook who is committed and passionate about healing through food.
She focuses on local and organic where ever possible and loves making delicious, wholesome meals and treats that your entire system will love.
Jo will be preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the training so that you'll be able to drop in and focus on learning and integrating the teachings, knowing that your food needs are taken care of.
If you have specific dietary requirements, be sure to list them on your registration form and Jo will happily cater to your needs.
