UrbanHuna
The latest project I’ve been involved on is a website for an old school pal of mine who is putting on a workshop in Birmingham, England in october.
The subject is an ancient polynesian philosophy called Huna, and it’s relavence in modern urban life, hence the name of the site, UrbanHuna.com
I was curious to hear more about the subject matter. Normally when you find an old school chum on the net they’ve become an accountant, music teacher or something obscure for the council. It therefore came as a surprise to find this particular friend was training as a shaman. Not exaclty in the top 10 most ordinary jobs in the world, and possibly not within the first 1000 I would think of.
I just finished reading my first book on the subject. I wasn’t expecting much, and certainly not that it would change the way I look at life forever. OK, forever maybe an over dramatically long time, but we’ll see…
To quote Hitch Hikers (roughly), “they set out to find the meaning to Life, the Universe and Everything and in a break with tradition actually found it”.
I’ve decided to blog about my experiences with Huna and since my IT blog is sitting here doing nothing in particular it will now become my Huna diary. As an experiment I am going to apply the Huna principles to my life this year and see what happens.
