Meet Your Facilitator
Aloha, my name is Kelly Kulalā.
Home is on the island of Moku ‘O Keawe (Hawai’i Island) for fifteen years now, originally a 6th generation North Bay California Native. Transitioning to Moku ‘O Keawe was the first time I had listened to Soul Guidance, and following that instruction has led me to who and what I am today, in service to community, creating deep transformational experiences to guide others to attune to their Divine Magik and live their highest potenital.
Everything I share is born from direct personal experience. From the age of five I was already doing this work by counseling the adults in my life, tracking subtle psychic frequencies and translating them into what was playing out in their physical reality. This is not a skill I developed or learned, it is one I was born with.
Those who know me call me a Frequency Translator. Through this ancient gift I have remained deeply attuned to the sentient realms of animals, nature, and water, receiving transmissions of advanced consciousness through channels most have forgotten how to access.
When I moved to Kona in 2010, I was offered a position as a dolphin and manta ray swim guide on a spiritual boat. Having grown up on lakes and already carrying the qualities of spiritual guidance, it was an easy yes, and what I did not know at the time was that this was the beginning of a fifteen year career of bringing people into the ocean to have life-changing experiences connecting with the beings of the sea, from tiny fish, turtles, dolphins, mantas, sharks, and whales.
This era was a highlight of my life. Through daily immersion with these beings and the skillset I carried, I received transmissions that revealed the highest levels of intelligence available to us as sentient beings when we truly innerstand who and what we are. Through these exchanges I healed past traumas and initiated the deepest relationship with myself, learning to honor the way of the organic and the beauty it offers us when we choose to fully inhabit the magical world we live in. I am grateful to have been immersed and surrendered to the magik that was waiting for me to remember it had always been here.
Alongside these ocean integrations, I deepened through apprenticeships in multiple ancient lineage traditions, including Mū Culture (Aloha Mā/ʻUlu), shamanic practices, goddess and star lineages, plant allies and puaʻaehuehu, ceremonial and ritual facilitation, universal energies, light language, reiki, holistic health education, massage therapy, and western life sciences and psychology. This twenty year culmination is what I call Bio-Energetic Alignment, the bridging of frequency to physical, the unseen to the seen, and the care, presence, nourishment and balance required for the IN-JOYment and sustainability of organic life expressing at its highest potential.

Why Mo’orea and the Whales
Brief Story Time and insights:
In the spring of 2023 I was loudly called by the whales. I was led to Moʻorea and discovered you can swim with the humpback whales legally. On the 7/7 Sirīan Stargate portal I watched a whale video on Instagram and spoke aloud that I wanted to swim with the whales for my 40th birthday, a long held dream that in that moment became the clearest desire I have ever felt. My birthday was less than two months away and by all appearances I was not in a position to make a grand international journey. My passport was expired, my finances were low and none of the pieces were in place.
I share this because the moment I said YES to the whales, I watched my life change. Everything came with ease, as if the universe was working its magik to get me there, even as I moved through resistance and disbelief that it could happen. That was the key. I was not making anything happen. The whales were. I ended up in Moʻorea twice within two months, spending four weeks immersed with the whales, the land and the people.
There is a frequency my soul knows on this ancient land. When locals would ask if it was my first time on the island, the response that came through me was "yes, in this body," which caught even me by surprise.
Through these experiences I realized the alchemy of divine energetic union. The moment I entered the field of Moʻorea, the Divine Masculine Presence was the first sensation I noticed. My heart softened and opened. The mountains and the whales captured my full attention and through what followed I was united with the memory of the pure divine feminine.
The ancient feminine ways are alive and active. The island and the whales are calling many of us to remember the uncorrupted feminine, the divine feminine blueprint. It is time to be activated and to remember on a visceral level what the true feminine frequency is. These two energies weaving together will allow you access to the codes required to advance into living your highest potential.
The whales are the largest physical bodies on this planet and have been here since ancient times. The Mea Neʻe, the plasmic beings, are the original ancestors according to the Mū lineage of Māhat, as translated by contemporary descendant Keʻoni Hanalei of Māui. The plasma held within the bodies of the whales is the largest known collection. It was shown to me that being in physical space and sharing electromagnetic fields, especially within the salty ocean as conductor, is the ultimate transmission of ancient connection. Add to this the sonic frequencies of their song and the result is a clearing of distortions and an activation of your cosmic ancient cellular memory at a level unlike anything else. Being near a humpback whale has the ability to shift your brain out of beta, open you to a deeply receptive state and calibrate your entire being.
As you come face to face with this union, with the whales and the frequencies of this island, you will be gifted and reflected everything you need to alchemize and move forward in life in right relationship with your inner world and your outer world.
The whales showed me through inner vision to create a structure doing what I do best, helping people feel safe in their bodies for divine wisdom expansion and SOuL INbody-ment. The whales will do what they do, inviting you in for the transformation of your life and transmitting sonic codes to calibrate all your systems and activate your ancient memory.
The whales are asking for your presence. You know who you are.
“I Swim with Giants”.

Ancient’s Reflections

“My experience on the Ancient's Awake Retreat cracked my heart open wide. Synchronicity, grace, pleasure and homecoming were big themes. Kulalā is a gracious host with a lion's heart. She cultivated an immersive experience with the land (fenua), people, water (wai) and whales (tohora). We explored the magical island of Mo'orea with reverence, respect, openness and curiosity. Engaging in a language lesson opened us to greater reciprocity with the people. Offering prayer (pule) to the water and the whales opened us to remember our deep connection with our Ancestors. Walking slowly through the rain forest, touching and communing with large buttressed trees, brought us deeper into our humble human bodies. Every aspect of this retreat was a celebration and honoring of connection, relationship and life. The accommodations were spectacular with lush gardens and a salt water pool to enjoy. Nightly integration offerings invited us inward to merge with the activations of the day. I am forever changed by Mo'orea, the whales, and the Ancients Awake Retreat. It is a catalytic invitation into the remembrance of self and one's place in the ocean of consciousness. Mahalo nui loa Kulalā and ALOHA MĀ!!"

“There are truly no words that can fully capture the experience I had in Tahiti and Mo’orea. It was a profound initiation, one that cracked me open and softened me all at once. As someone who’s carried a lifelong fear of the deep blue sea, of leaping into the abyss of the unknown, this journey was an act of courageous surrender. And somehow, deep down, I knew I would be held. Safe. Guided. Supported. Sister Kelly and the beautiful locals who cared for us offered all that and more. To swim in the ocean with the plasmic mea ne’e giants… to feel the vibration of their songs ripple through my body like sacred currencies, it was beyond what I ever imagined. We swam with stingrays, turtles, sharks, colorful fishes and whales. The light dancing along the ocean floor felt like ancient codes of remembrance, permeating directly into my cells. I felt them—our Southern whale ancestors—their breath, their presence, their remembering… within me and all around me. The island adventures was pure magic. A beautiful harmony of land and sea, anchored by nourishing meals you could taste the love in. There was space to integrate, to connect, to be still, and to share—through sound bowls, tarot cards, laughter, and mo’olelo (stories). Sister Kelly held the container with such grace and power, guiding us with humility and wisdom. Everywhere we went became a ceremony. She also introduced us to incredible locals who opened their hearts, language, culture, and aloha ‘āina to us. To feel immersed in the culture, that was my favorite part! And I must say… you would have never guessed I once feared the deep blue. After the first day, I felt completely safe in the water, beside Kelly, our guide, and my beloved. That kind of safety allowed me to soften, to be fully present, and to receive the beauty and the transmissions of it all. If I had one wish, it would be for better water pressure in the shower and tub at our fare. At times, the water trickled between scalding hot and freezing cold. But even that couldn’t dim the light of this experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone who feels the call. But then again the whales will call out to you too, and you will know! Because this isn’t just a trip. It’s an activation. An initiation. A remembering. And your soul will be pulled there! Trust in the guidance and the synchronisties that will lead you! I will carry this experience in my ‘iwi (bones), in my hā (breath), and my pu’uwai (heart) for the rest of my life. And I know that anyone who answers the call will feel the same. It’s the kind of journey that leaves an imprint on your soul, that forever shifts the way you move through the world. Mahalo nui loa to Sister Kelly, for your aloha, your radiant passion, and the sacred way you guide. You hold space with such grace, and it is because of you that this portal of transformation was opened! This was more than a retreat—it was a sacred huaka‘i, a soul’s journey back to the piko of remembrance. It was a revelation of aloha that lives in the deep, in song of the koholā. The great unfurling, calling us to remember the divinity within all of us from the land and sea!! Aloha mā

“”On the sacred 6/6 portal of 2024, a whisper of destiny echoed through my soul. My dear friend unveiled her whale retreat, and with each word, a wave of chills washed over me. I felt an undeniable pull, a celestial alignment whispering that this journey would coincide with my birthday. October 18th, a date with the ocean’s gentle giants, was written in the stars. My rebirth within my aquatic nature, activating my inner water being so gracefully in the turquoise waters of Mo’orea. In the embrace of Tahiti’s ancient echoes, I sailed into Mo’orea’s heart-shaped haven. The island’s pulse, a symphony of magic, authenticity, and simplicity, resonated deep within my soul. With my friend’s loving guidance, we(pod) explored sacred waters and lush lands. A local guide unveiled the cultural tapestry, embodying love’s essence in every connection. She chose a perfect retreat space, beautiful in every way, though the shower’s pressure, drainage and tease of the bath not working left room for improvement. With locally sourced feasts from ‘āina and sea, we nourished our bodies and spirits magnificently. Each moment, a sacred activation, woven with sound healing and shared rituals, reminded me of the whale family’s eternal presence, returning us to our true way of being. Now, as the magic of that journey integrates, I feel its push toward my true purpose: learning Watsu. This September, I will anchor this water massage and add it to my toolkit, learning the Dolphin Dance Watsu choreography and fully committing to this calling that has long resonated within me. I’m deeply grateful to my friend for listening to her true calling, facilitating this transformative experience, and guiding us all toward our own ancient remembrance.
