WHAT IS THE PNW HUNA GROUP?

The PNW (Pacific Northwest) Huna Group are a group of individuals who are “hunatics”.  We have been learning and practicing Huna, a Hawaiian spirituality and empowerment practice for many years. Huna is western term for a way of life and a belief system that allows you to create a reality that you want.  Huna is practiced according to lineage.  The lineage that we follow is from the Bray-James lineage, based out of Kona, Hawai`i. The Bray family had various techniques that allowed you to release unresolved negative emotions, change your belief systems, and other releases/meditations so that you could create experiences that are positive for you....to empower you. Practicing Huna for all of us, has empowered us and we want to share it with you so you can experience its benefits in your life.  We plan to do both online and inperson trainings in the Pacific Northwest area.

 

WHO ARE WE?

🌺 Karen Moriuchi – Karen has been practicing Huna for over 20 years.  She was honored by being given the title of Kumu of Huna, which essentially means teacher or leader of Huna. She lives in Hilo, Hawai`i on Hawai`i Island, the southern most island in the Hawaiian chain; also called The Big Island. For most of her life, she did not like who she was. She was abused as a young child, was/is overweight from early childhood, endured much ridiculing from friends and family, had a challenging marriage, and nearly needed to claim bankruptcy after the divorce. Having learned Huna techniques from the Bray family, and ways of thinking/believing from the James family, she can now say that she likes who she is and has become. She has found her purpose and is living and doing it. She wakes up most mornings in a happy mood.  Her life is not perfect and she continues to work on improving herself/her life.  She is experiencing much joy everyday.  Karen thanks Huna for that.  ​​​​​

 

🌺 Lisset King – Lisset King is a Full Initiator in this Huna lineage and has been practicing Huna for nearly a decade, rooted in the Bray/James lineage and devoted to integrating its spiritual depth with life-changing transformational work. She is a Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a Master Practitioner of Hypnotherapy, and serves as a Breakthrough practitioner supporting leaders in releasing emotional baggage, healing unresolved trauma, and stepping into greater alignment and personal power. Lisset teaches Huna Intro classes in Portland four times a year and is deeply committed to preserving, honoring, and keeping the Huna lineage and its teachings alive through embodied practice, respectful transmission, and service to the next generation of students. 

 

🌺 Thomas Wurm – Thomas’ path has been forged in both fire and stillness. For 14 years he worked as a wildland firefighter, carrying heavy burdens and pushing beyond limits. That experience taught him resilience and grit, but it also showed him the cost of silence and the weight men carry inside.  The search for healing led him into deep inner work where neuroscience, Qigong, and ancient practices like Huna come together to free what the body holds. As a Certified Holden Qigong Instructor and Master Practitioner of Mental & Emotional Release® and NLP, he guides people through the layers of trauma, stress, and old patterns so they can reconnect with clarity, strength, and truth.

  

🌺 Andrea Skelly – Andrea’s first Yoga class in 1998 and introduction to Huna in 2003 set her on a path of self-discovery that continues to evolve. The integration of ancient wisdom, spirituality and well-being practices have empowered her to navigate life more effectively from a place of grace and harmony more often than not. She has been a student of Hawaiian Huna from the Bray/James lineage since 2003 and is a Full Initiator in this lineage. Andrea weaves Huna into her daily life as a business owner, scientist and team leader. Personal experience with and dissertation work on stress, coping and connections between the mind and disease, have led her to reaffirm the immense value of and need for the empowering practices and tools of Huna. She combines her training in Huna, neurolinguistic programming, hypnosis and Yoga with experience as a university educator and scientist to assist others on their path.

  

🌺 Sachiko Nakano - Sachiko is a licensed acupuncturist in Seattle. She was first introduced to hypnotherapy and NLP training in 2006 and has studied Huna of the Bray/James lineage since 2009, weaving its wisdom into both her personal path and clinical work.  As a student and Full Initiator of Na Ao Opua Kilokilo Ka Haiki A Na Lani, an ancient Hawaiian system of symbols, she integrates these teachings with acupuncture and other healing modalities to support holistic well-being in her private practice. For Sachiko, Huna is both a way of life and a living framework—an equation she continually returns to for clarity, insight, and alignment.
