Huna Village: A Global Healing and Huna Circle began in June and will continue on Wednesdays at 8 am Hawaiian Time at the Eye of Kanaloa meditation platform. Free to everyone.

Melemele: Huna Fellowship members now have a bulletin board for posting messages to each other in the Clubhouse.

Holani: Many developments have taken place. In the Polynesian Shamanism area there is a replica of a Maori Marae where you can dance the traditional haka and commune with your ancestors; and there are Easter Island statues that carry the mana of ancient chiefs. In the African area there is a black panther who sometimes wanders around. In the Celtic area there is a howling wolf and a black dragon. In the Amerindian area there is a growling grizzly bear. In the Mongolian area there is a winged horse that whinnys. At the perimeter we have a healing center run by Alakai Lois Stokes, and YouTube videos in the Hospitality House. At the landing pavilion we have a teleport system that takes you to the shaman areas or to any one of the seven skyboxes where the spirits of elemental magic live.

Aloha International announces the opening of an additional island in Second Life. The name of the island is "Holani," taken from a legendary island in Hawaiian mythology. This area is devoted to Huna-based shamanic healing, using the three inner worlds of Kahiki, Lanikeha, and Mili as a framework. The Kahiki section consists of the land, with the coastal area reserved for rental units available for Aloha Fellowship members who are also Huna Fellowship members in SL to use as healing centers, and the central part with its lagoon reserved for the shamanic practices of various cultures from around the world. Lanikeha, the Hawaiian name for the Upper World, is in the sky above the island, with seven dwellings associated with the seven spirits of elemental magic. Milu, the Underworld, is at the bottom of the surrounding ocean. Eventually it will be filled with reefs, fish, other sea creatures, and a challenging shaman game.

Twenty-one avatars of all shapes, sizes, sexes, and species crowded into the Huna Village Conference Center for Talk Story, where Kahili Writer told stories about Kamehameha the Great and discussed how to heal the past. Changes include video clips on the big screen with Serge Kahili King presenting the seven principles and excerpts from workshops, plus a petroglyph display in the cultural area.

The Talk Story sessions at the Huna Village conference center in January and February were well attended and visitors are increasing. One of the most frequent comments made by new visitors is that our island seems so peaceful and relaxing. Changes in the Village include a Services Hut where Fellowship members can do counseling, a large video screen behind the hula platform where movies are presented on demand, tables for an outdoor market on the platform, a large Eye of Kanaloa meditation circle in the middle of the village, and various convenient amenities on the landing platform.

The Hawaiian Cultural area is basically done, though a petroglyph area still has to go in. Right now there is a walking tour with nine stops and information given at each stop. The tour starts with the fishpond and continues with a hawksbill turtle on the beach by a river; a small grove of coconut trees and the outrigger sailing canoe; three huts of a family compound; a heiau with tikis, a drum hut, an offering platform, an altar, and a Kane stone; a banana grove and beyond it a full lava eruption pouring out of Mt. Pele; a grove of koa trees; two taro patches with irrigation ditches; and finally an outcropping of basalt lava crystals.

We had a Christmas party at the Fellowship Clubhouse in Melemele which was a great success. There were Christmas decorations, including a Christmas tree, a gift platform, a stage, and a bit of Christmas music in the background for awhile. There were ten or twelve avatars, a mix of Alakai and Aloha Fellowship members. Everyone brought a gift to share and put it on the platform. Among other things there was a fuzzy moose, a meditation pillow, a pumpkin crunch recipe, a personal UFO, and lots of other stuff. Then we had entertainment on the stage. Someone told a joke, another did a Tai Chi routine, someone did a series of dances, an original poem was sung, and someone played Jingle Bells on a ukulele while everyone sang together. Then it was drinks at the bar and pupus (a variety of sushi) provided by miko Umaga. Finally, it was time for farewells and as some of the avatars disappeared Kahili Writer took the rest on a tour of the cultural center.

On December 2nd we had Talk Story at the Huna Village Conference Center attended by about 8 avatars.

On September 2nd, Aloha International presented its first Talk Story in the virtual world of Second Life, featuring Serge Kahili King.

It was night time in Huna Village when the avatars began arriving for the first ever talk story session in the village Conference Center. Some came up the ramps and some flew in the doorways of the rather large, Polynesian-style building situated on a point overlooking the sea.

A few came early to find seats in the koa benches, but Serge Kahili King was there to greet most of those who came. He stood in front by a replica of the Joseph Parker painting of Lemuria that hung for so many years in the Real Life Hawaiian Art Museum on Kauai. This day he was wearing a new Hawaiian shirt that he had created with black trousers and sandals. His hair and beard were white.

The gathering began with introductions, and there were avatars from Japan, England, Switzerland, New Zealand, Vermont, Kauai, and Big Island.

Most of the questions had to do with how to do things in Second Life and Serge taught a lot specific tips and techniques. Most of the communication was by live voice chat, but there was a lot of type chat also.

After the talk the Huna Fellowship members gathered informally around the tiki bar in their clubhouse at Melemele and finished with a circle and the "Aumakua" chant.

A new feature in the virtual Healing Hut is a box where avatars can drop off healing requests.

Huna Village: You can get a free kukui nut lei at the landing point and in the Conference Center, which now has benches for classes. The Healing Hut has been moved and there is now a hula platform at the end of the valley with big pictures of our halau. Pali Uli is now voice-enabled, so we can have live conversations with each other. Soon there will be a free hug script available to everyone, too. A new in-world book, The Huna Path To World Change: An Interview With Serge Kahili King is now available at the Village store for L$10. The first Talk Story given by Serge Kahili King/Kahili Writer will take place at the Village Conference Center from 9-11am on September 2nd. Kahili Writer has acquired a new translation device that works with Japanese, German, and other languages.

Hawaiian Cultural Center: A banana patch has been planted, a taro patch is under construction, the heiau is waiting for artifacts, and construction of a partial walkway and bridge is underway.

Melemele: This is the special area set aside for the Huna Fellowship, whose membership consists of Alakai, Candidates, and Aloha Fellowship members. The landing platform is gone and has been replaced with a Huna Fellowship Clubhouse, with a tiki bar, seating area, lounge chairs, and a fireside chat area on the outer lanai. One of the group of huts has been turned into a center for Aloha International Japan, and there is now an altar for Pele on the side of the volcano.

Alakai Island: A new area in the northwest corner, exclusively for the use of Alakai of Huna International.
