An Introduction to Huna: Where the Adventure Begins

A four-part live online course with Stewart Blackburn and Pete Dalton. September 2026

Have you ever sensed that there is more to life, and more to you, than the everyday surface of things?

Most of us go about our days using only a small part of who we really are. Beneath ordinary thinking there are quieter, more powerful aspects of ourselves: a natural intelligence, a subtle sense of guidance, a capacity to heal and to grow that often goes unnoticed. People all over the world, across many different traditions, have found ways to reconnect with these deeper parts of themselves and to live more fully because of it.

Huna is one such way. It is a practical philosophy of living and personal empowerment, and this gentle four-part course is an invitation to explore it for yourself.

You do not need any previous experience, and you do not need to take anything on faith. Huna is not a religion or a set of beliefs to adopt. It is a way of seeing and a set of simple practices that you can test against your own life and keep whatever works.

A word from Serge Kahili King

The approach we share comes from the Kahili lineage of Huna, brought into its current form by Serge Kahili King, a much-loved teacher and author who has spent a lifetime making this wisdom accessible and useful for people everywhere. In the short video below, Serge shares why learning Huna can be so valuable.

What we will explore together

Over four live online evenings, we will introduce the foundations of Huna in a relaxed and welcoming way. Each session blends teaching, discussion, practical exercises and a guided inner journey, with time for your questions throughout.

Session one: The Seven Principles. At the heart of Huna are seven simple principles that together form a kind of blueprint for living with more awareness and ease. We will meet each one and begin to see how they overlap and support one another in everyday life.

Session two: The Three Selves. We are more than our thinking minds. Huna describes three aspects of ourselves, the body-mind, the conscious mind and the higher self, and shows how, when they work together as a team, life becomes noticeably more harmonious.

Session three: The Four Levels of Reality. How we look at the world shapes what becomes possible in it. We will explore four different ways of perceiving reality, and how gently shifting our viewpoint can open up new choices and possibilities.

Session four: The Basics of Healing. In our final session we draw the threads together and explore some of the simple, practical ways Huna approaches healing and wellbeing, so you leave with tools you can actually use.

Between sessions, optional practices help you bring the ideas into your own life in small, easy ways. There is no pressure and no homework you must complete, only invitations to explore.

A gentle, heart-centred approach

Many traditions of this kind take what might be called a warrior’s approach, meeting challenges head on and overcoming them through force and will. The lineage we work in takes a different path, sometimes called the adventurer’s approach, where the emphasis is on harmony, curiosity and befriending rather than battling. Love, rather than force, is the starting point.

It is a warm and welcoming way to explore your inner world, and it is at the heart of how we teach. Whether this is your very first encounter with these ideas, or you have explored other paths before, you are likely to find something here that feels both fresh and strangely familiar.

Who is this course for?

This course is for you if you:

  • Sense there is more to life, and to yourself, than meets the eye
  • Would like a grounded, practical way into ideas about energy, awareness and consciousness
  • Are looking for simple tools for healing, growth and a more intuitive way of living
  • Enjoy learning in a relaxed, supportive and open-hearted group

Whether you come from a background in healing, coaching or personal development, or are simply curious and beginning to explore, you are very welcome. There are no prerequisites beyond an open mind and a willingness to play.

What people say about Stewart and Pete’s classes

“Pete and Stewart are not just two fabulous teachers, they are also amazing human beings. They let you touch the magic of Huna and guide you towards a more adventurous way of seeing and experiencing life. Even though I’m trained in other forms of shamanism and hypnosis, with them I was able to meet myself on a more profound level than ever. Taking this course is truly a gift to yourself.”  — Xavier Even, Paris

“Pete and Stewart kindly and compassionately guided our group through the course. The insightful theory was nicely spread over the four evenings alongside a variety of exercises to help understand the topic. Both are grounded, kind and caring personalities. If you are looking for a first peek into Huna this course is perfect, and you can be sure that you will be welcomed and taken care of.”  — Dr Kerstin Jung

“Coming back to Huna makes me feel like someone who has been struggling along a rocky and overgrown path by a gently flowing river for a long time with a heavy weight on my back, and someone has just come along and pointed out what a lovely canoe I am carrying!”  — Course participant

“Thanks to Pete and Stewart being so wise and generous, these classes can open your heart, mind and spirit in a very enjoyable way.”  — Sandy

A ten-part live online course with Stewart Blackburn and Pete Dalton

Most of us sense, somewhere, that we are capable of living more fully than we do. That there is more confidence, more clarity, more ease available to us than we usually allow ourselves.

Yet so much can get in the way. Old beliefs about ourselves. The habit of seeking approval from others. Feelings we have learned to push down. Stories about who we are that we have told so often we mistake them for the truth.

Personal power, as we explore it here, is not about force, control or pushing harder. It is something quieter and more sustaining: a steady confidence and trust in yourself, built from the inside out. It grows from self-acceptance rather than self-improvement, and from understanding how your own thoughts and feelings shape the life you experience.

Pathways to Personal Power is a gentle, ten-week journey into those inner foundations. It is an invitation to come home to yourself, and to live from a deeper, steadier sense of who you really are.

A gentle, practical approach

This is an experiential course rather than a theoretical one. Across ten live online sessions we explore the building blocks of living in your power, drawing on the practical wisdom of Huna alongside simple, down-to-earth tools you can use in everyday life. You do not need any previous experience with Huna, and there is nothing here you have to take on faith.

Some of what we explore touches tender places: shame, self-worth, the old wounds many of us carry. We approach all of it with warmth, gentleness and no pressure. This is a safe and supportive space to explore at your own pace, with plenty of room for questions and reflection, and never any sense of having to share more than you wish to.

What we will explore together

Each session blends gentle teaching, guided exercises and discussion, building gradually over the ten weeks.

One: Feelings. So much of life is built around how we feel. We begin by getting to know our feelings, how they work, and how we can gently take more charge of them.

Two: Beliefs and Expectations. Our beliefs quietly become the rules by which we experience life, and we tend to get what we expect. We look at how beliefs form, and how they can change.

Three: Dealing with Shame. Most of us carry shame and are not quite sure what to do with it. Gently and without judgement, we explore how self-love, rather than criticism, is what heals it.

Four: Mastering Self-Approval. It can feel surprisingly radical to approve of yourself exactly as you are right now. We explore what that means, and why it is so quietly powerful.

Five: Desires and Values. To know what you truly want, it helps to understand what you most value. We explore the deeper longings that give life meaning and direction.

Six and Seven: The Stories We Tell Ourselves. Across two sessions we look at the stories we tell about who we are and how we got here. Each story shapes how we feel and what we create. Change the story, and much else can change with it.

Eight: The Nature of Personal Power. Power, here, is simply the freedom to choose your next experience. We explore how much more choice we have than we often realise, and how to use it well.

Nine: The Challenge of Trust. Trust, in ourselves and in life, is one of the most powerful choices we can make. We explore how letting go of control can paradoxically make room for what we most want.

Ten: Programming Your Future. Your future is shaped not by the past, but by how you think, feel and see yourself now. We draw the threads together and look gently ahead.

Between sessions there are optional reflections to help you bring each theme into your own life, never homework you must complete, only gentle invitations to notice and explore.

Who is this course for?

This course may speak to you if you:

  • Sense there is more to life, and to you, and would like to access it from within
  • Have explored personal development before but feel there are still quiet blocks to your confidence
  • Are on a spiritual path and would like grounded, practical tools to live your truth more fully
  • Are tired of looking to others for your sense of worth, and would like to build steadier self-trust
  • Have felt held by old stories, habits or feelings, and feel ready to gently rewrite them
  • Support others as a coach, healer, therapist, teacher or guide, and want to deepen your own inner clarity

No prior experience of Huna is needed, just a willingness to explore, reflect and grow at your own pace.
