Aloha Kākou,

At Kaiāulu, our partnerships are precious and grow through ceremony and over time. Our relationship with the World Tribal Alliance is especially dear to us, so when they asked us to share their new film, we were honored to do so.

Last November, Aunty Puna, Mamo Lorenzo, Greg, Olivia, and I traveled to South Africa with WTA for a gathering with Elders from across the world. That time together deepened the bond between our communities in a way we continue to feel.

This week, World Tribal Alliance released a new documentary, Spirit of the Andes, following their March 2026 pilgrimage to Peru alongside Elders and wisdom keepers of the Andes. The film traces their journey through the equinox ceremony at Kenko Chico, a sacred pilgrimage to Ausangate Mountain, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley.

It's a beautiful film. Enjoy.

Our Time Together in South Africa

Here is a short film from our time together.

Ilarion joins Kaiāulu's Ancestral Wisdom Collective

Kaiāulu is honored to welcome Ilarion ‘Kuuyux’ Merculieff into the Ancestral Wisdom Collective for a three-month First Quarter Moon teaching season beginning on the summer solstice.

Ilarion's life and work carry a simple, ancient invitation: the return from the mind to the heart. His gatherings create space for a deeper kind of listening, one that helps us remember an older, more rooted way of being in relationship with life.

Ilarion joins Kumu Hula Puna Kalama Dawson, who offers teachings at the Last Quarter Moon, and Mamo Lorenzo Izquierdo Arroyo, who teaches at the Full Moon. Together, their guidance supports a living lunar rhythm of ancestral wisdom, ceremony, and practice.

Ilarion's First Quarter Moon gatherings will take place on June 21, July 21, and August 19. The New Moon ceremony remains free and open to all.

🌑 May New Moon Ceremony

These gatherings were born from a call by the Council of Indigenous Sages of Colombia to synchronize ceremony across the world. Each New Moon, Elders and wisdom keepers gather to cleanse, attune, and renew together. All are welcome.

Time: 7:30 AM Hawaiʻi | 10:30 AM Pacific | 12:30 PM Colombia | 1:30 PM Eastern | 7:30 PM CEST

Help Keep the Ceremonies Open

These monthly ceremonies have been offered freely for the past three years. Coherence Lab has been stewarding this kind of community practice for over eleven years. If these gatherings have meant something to you, a contribution of any amount helps us keep the circle open.

Together, we're weaving a blanket of peace around the world.

You are warmly welcome in this circle.

Me ke aloha pumehana,

Prajna & Kaiāulu's Council
