Polynesian Connection

It wasn’t until 20 years after leaving the U.S. Navy, on a visit to Tahiti, that I felt the desire to get a tattoo and connect to that part within myself. I’ve been drawn to Polynesian ways of life, visited Hawaii numerous times (Oahu, Big Island, Maui, Kauai) and always feel tears of connection with the haka chants of the Maori. Oh, and I have an identical twin who has lived on Kauai for over 15 years…

Why Malamalama

I have always loved how certain languages can convey so much more meaning with less words. Malamalama is a Polynesian word meaning light of brilliance, knowledge, understanding, enlightenment, and radiance.

Are You Polynesian?

I’m a white guy…this time. I have great respect for the ways of indigenous people and I have always loved to live close to those ways, as much as possible. In this life, I wasn’t born Hawaiian or Lakota, or Maori…but, all are deeply in my heart and soul and make me wonder about my other lives. Creating a life-changing program which helps to promote this way of living and helps to keep the values alive and well.

Perfect Description

“Malamalama” – this perfectly describes what happens in the work that I have been doing! The Light…of (true) understanding, knowledge (of Self), light of loving awareness. I have struggled explaining what it is that I have been doing for 13+ years. Malamalama describes it so beautifully…

Koa (warrior)

Overview

Way of Malamalama - Personal Growth and Self MasteryAt Haumana/Student level (and possibly in most of your life), you were allowed to run the same mind programs, keep the same negative beliefs and habits. Koa level is the man or woman who just wants some help with accountability, goals and progress tracking. You’ll meet, online, with Daniel Posney for a check-in and guidance to keep you on track and progressing.

At this stage, you’ll show great dedication for releasing old habits, patterns and mind programs. Your life is starting to shift and there’s more. The difference here is a “way” or “path”, with a structured curriculum to follow. You will be evaluated and tested along the way. Your weekly schedule includes a combination of: teaching, counseling and breathwork.

Through character exercises and challenges, you will be guided in different ways to be someone of real integrity, accountability, divine purpose and heart-centered living.

Kumu (teacher)

Overview

Way of Malamalama - Personal Growth and Self MasteryThis program is not for everyone. Not all want to become a teacher. If you are called to teach, the “kumu” level will help clear obstacles associated with being an effective teacher.

At Kumu level, you will learn methods and practices to master your domain and become the guide and teacher you were meant to be. You’ll learn more in-depth concepts, healing techniques and uncover more spiritual awakening.

There will opportunities to assist other members who are “Koa” and who could use your unique perspective. Other teachers and masters will join us as well.

As someone at this stage, your path of personal growth and self mastery is no longer a struggle. You say “Bring it on! I long to truly know myself and my true nature.” It’s time to see what you’re capable of when systems are running 100% and limiting beliefs and mind-programs have, for the most part, been let go.

You’ve longed for a system, a path, a way, that you could follow and that would challenge you…this is it!
