ELIJAH MCSHANE
Elijah Kala McShane is a kanaka oiwi o Hawai’i (native descendant of the Hawaiian islands) and direct descendant of both Hawai’i/Maui & O’ahu chiefly lineages. Elijah, also known as Kahu Kala, is the co-founder (with his wife Jazmin Yong) of Awakened Aloha, an organization focused on “inspiring a world where aloha is the heartbeat of humanity.” Awakened Aloha’s work bridges ancient wisdom and ancestral connection to modern wellness through the mauli ola (healing arts), la’au lapa’au (plant medicine), aloha education, and community development. His work has inspired hearts in the educational, political, and spiritual sectors of modern Hawai’i to visioneer a future that promotes harmony for all people beginning with Hawai’i and her children. As an ambassador of aloha and messenger of lokahi, Elijah shares a universal message that lays at the foundation of all people and cultures, “aloha ‘aina, aloha akua, aloha kanaka” (a deep honor and reverence for the land, the spirits, and the people). May this message of truth reach all dimensions of existence and call forth unity from the depths of po to the peaks of the lewa lani. E ola mau.

LESSONS
FROM THE
OTHERSIDE
An Intuitive Medium, Akashic Energy Healer, Maori Artist & Farmer.
Born into a whakapapa-geneology of Maori culture and traditions in New Zealand, I received the spiritual gifts of vision and insight cultivated and handed down from whanau-family hapu-sub tribe and Iwi tribe.
With my mothers tribal descent of Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri, and my fathers Nga Puhi tribal legacy, connects me with the ancestors of my home land and the higher realms of Great Ones, the teachers and healers of the past who stand ready to bring their love and power into the world today. It allows me to communicate with those who have passed beyond the veils and wish to offer their help and share their guidance.
It is therefore my desire and sacred responsibility to share these gifts with you. The ancient ways are more potent than ever in these times of global transformation. Please reach out and let me know how I can help bring light where it is needed in your life.
