                                  Dreaming in Hawaii

    

       Our fascinating journey began at the rim of the crater,
       Kilauea. This magical spot located in Hawaii'i's Volcanoes
       National Park has always been a revered and sacred site.
       Mark Twain, on seeing Kilauea in 1866, enthusiastically
       wrote, "Here was room for the imagination to work!"

LEGENDS

Aia La 'o Pele

No Kahiki mai ka wahine `o Pele,
Mai ka `aina mai o Polapola,
Mai ka punohu a Kane,
Mai ke ao lapa i ka lani.

The woman Pele comes from Kahiki,
From the land of Polapola,
From the rising mist of Kane,
From the clouds that move in the sky.

According to legend, Hawaii'i's Big Island is the home of Pele, the revered goddess of fire and the volcano. Her spirit resides in the Halema'uma'u crater on the Kilauea volcano. "Pele is volcanism in all its forms. Her poetic name is Ka wahine `ai honua, the woman who devours the land. When her molten body moves, the land trembles and the sky is afire with a crimson glow. Those present whisper in awe, "`Ae aia la `o Pele, there is Pele".

"In her presence, our senses awaken. We smell the sulfur. We feel the heat where the steam dances above the earthcracks at Wahine Kapu. Pele's tears hide in the cinder outfall at Pu`u Pua`i, her golden hair sparkles between the rope folds of pahoehoe lava. A play of sunlight on her ebony rock reveals a shimmering rainbow of color".


It is said that Pele had a short and violent marriage to Kamapua'a, the god of water. In a rage, she ousted Kamapua'a from their Halema'uma'u home and chased him with streams of lava into the sea. He retaliated with storms of rain. The battle raged and the two weakened as fire won, then rain, then fire.



This symbolism portrays the often violent interaction of lava and water associated with explosive hydrovolcanic eruptions and is a fitting reminder that Pele is alive and well. This photo was taken by Kim Miller, a group participant, on a night walk to view the Volcano.



Today, Hawai'i's Volcanoes National Park protects 377 square miles of the island's volcanic wonders and is a refuge for surviving native plants and animals.

  

At one with nature, Hawaiians are at home in a world alive with spirit forces. Photos by Kim Miller.


Pele's husband, Kamapua`a, desperate to escape his fate, turned himself into the `ama`u fern and surrounded the summit caldera. Thus the name Halema`uma`u, house surrounded by the `ama`u fern.


`ama`u

The fern's poetic name, pua`a `ehu`ehu (singed pig), refers to the new fronds' red color, a sign that Kamapua`a was burned by the last bits of Pele's fire.





`Ohelo

To the Hawaiian eye the `ohelo is no mere plant. It is Pele's sister, Ka`ohelo, out of whose bones sprang the red-berried bush.

Embodied in earthly and heavenly phenomena, Pele's `ohana (family) is ever present in the volcano region. Another sister, Hi`iaka-i-ka-pua`ena`ena, is the rosy glow of dawn on clouds and mountains. Pele's brothers, Ka-moho-ali`i, Kane-hekili, and Ke-ua-ake-po are steam, thunder and rain of fire.



Aumakua

To some Hawaiian families, `io, the Hawaiian hawk, is a sacred `aumakua or ancestral spirit. What was human in life became upon death a guardian god possessing awesome power and loving concern. Ka `io nui maka lana au moku, the great hawk with eyes that see everywhere on the land.

As both godly ancestors and spiritual parents, `aumakua assumed a myriad of kino lau (body forms) of plant, animal or mineral. They brought warnings of coming misfortune and deliverance from immediate danger through dreams, visions and physical manifestations.

A LITTLE HISTORY

In 1980, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization (UNESCO) named Hawai'i's Volcanoes National Park an International Biosphere Reserve because of its outstanding scenic and scientific values. The park was recognized for its important volcanic sites (including two of the world's most active volcanoes); its volcanic island ecosystem, which preserves one of the largest significant ecosystems on the Hawaiian Islands; and its cultural and historic sites.

Then, in 1982 Hawai'i's Volcanoes National Park was named a World Heritage Site. World Heritage Sites recognize and protect areas around the globe that have outstanding natural, historical, and cultural values. It evolved from the idea that certain natural and cultural sites have "universal value" for all people.

THE VOLCANO HOUSE


We stayed at the Volcano House Hotel, a cultural landscape built in 1941. It is part of the Kilauea Historic District.

The Volcano House's history has been traced back to 1824 when Chiefess Kapiolani (a Christian convert) and her entourage built a grass shack on the crater rim. Many have stayed at this unique place... Queen Liliuokalani, Mark Twain and President Franklin D. Roosevelt were among its guests.

                      Dreaming in France, 2002

                                  MAY 20 – 30, 2002

For adventurous travellers......we found the magic place for.....

An Experiment in Stone Age Dream Incubation

Seventeen dreamers stayed in the authentic French living quarters our ancestors, Cro-Magnon families, used some 28,000 years ago.

We joined Jungian Analyst Robert Bosnak in the valley of the Dordogne (Southwest France) as we explored ancient sites, prehistoric art and our dreams.

With sleeping bags and matresses we stretched out under the stars and Dreamt by the fire, as our ancestors did.

After breakfast we gathered into small groups and unravelled the mystery of our dreams.

We spent three nights in the original Cro-Magnon dwellings, protected by a natural overhang and five nights in charming cottages, nestled in the woods.

When not working on dreams or enjoying French cuisine and wine we toured the valley of the Dordogne with our local guide, Bruno.
