Why Do PeopleLive Longest Near Volcanoes?

The Kahunas of Hawaii taught that you can take in so much mana in one lifetime that your bones keep giving it back to the land long after you're gone. David has lived by this teaching for about thirty years. He explains what mana is, why it sits at the heart of the Kahuna way, and why he calls it the crux of everything he has learned.

David connects the world's longest-lived places to the volcanoes beneath them, and to the young, newly made ground a lava flow leaves behind. You'll hear why Iceland describes its lava with Hawaiian words, and why both cultures tell stories of stones with consciousness.

Why does a cacao bean from Hawaii taste different? Why does David always head for the spring water at the center of an island? He shares how he chooses wild foods, spring water, and ocean water for their mana, and what Ormus and the younger mineral forms in volcanic soil have taught him.

David sees fire as a small volcano: it remakes matter instead of destroying it. He explains why he sits by a fire, why charcoal has been part of his life for over a decade, and why he goes from Icelandic hot springs into glacial melt and back again, however cold and windy it gets.

In the Kahuna view, mana comes in through more than food. Thought brings it in. So do gratitude, love, and laughter. David shares how he brings this into the spaces where he lives, from the wood in his walls to the things he keeps around him, and how you can bring more of it into your own life.

Bring them all. Mana, volcanoes, spring water, cacao, fire, Iceland, Hawaii, and whatever else is on your mind. Upvote the questions you most want answered. David will also share news on upcoming gatherings, including Hawaii. Two hours, and everything is on the table.
