Aloha
Welcome to The Institute of Living Aloha
A Hawaiian Wisdom and Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage School dedicated to supporting all beings to cultivate and embody Aloha (unconditional love).
Based on unceded lands in Australia, we offer in-person and online sessions, training, supervision, and professional development for Lomilomi practitioners around the world.
Our work honours the teachings and lineages passed down through our Kūpuna and Kūmu (Elders and teachers).
Founder Charlie Snow teaches Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage with permission from renowned Hawaiian Elder, Kumu La’au Lapa’au Sylvester Keiliwaliu Kamaka Iki Ali’i Pa’akaula Kamoa Kepilino (Papa K).
We proudly stand with Ka Lāhui Hawai‘i,
supporting their mission of self-governance
and the preservation of Hawaiian culture. A portion
of our profits goes directly to their grassroots work.
At The Institute of Living Aloha, we honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live, learn and practice.
With deep aloha, we acknowledge their enduring cultural wisdom, their unbroken connection to Country, and the sovereignty that was never ceded. We recognise our kuleana to walk with respect, humility and reciprocity, and to uphold practices that contribute to healing and right relationship. We pay our heartfelt respects to Elders past and present, and extend this respect to emerging leaders and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We pay the rent here. Always Was, Always Will Be.
