Led by Visiting Master Ray Carbullido, this guided meditation offers an intimate exploration of internal awareness and perspective within Halekulani’s dedicated on-site dojo.

Through primarily seated work, participants learn how to focus inward, using the physical body and the three dimensional world as anchors to explore multiple perspectives within a single experience. This practice supports healing by illuminating perspectives that are often overlooked, bringing clarity to what is present and informing how one engages with themselves and their environment. A natural outcome of this work is the development of the mind as a skillful support, allowing deeper balance, healing, and understanding to emerge.

With a maximum of eight participants, this session offers a focused and personalized environment for deeper observation and self-cultivation. (60 min) – $75

What to expect:

  • Primarily seated practice using cushions

  • Focus on observation and internal awareness

  • Physical body and three dimensional world used as reference points

  • Optional introduction of kneeling posture

Attire: Comfortable clothing suitable for seated practice.

Join us on Friday, March 20th at 5:00pm for an exclusive opening of Explorations of Self with martial arts master and artist Ray Carbullido as he introduces his immersive gallery installation and Visiting Master experience at Halekulani. In this presentation, Ray shares the philosophy behind his work, reflecting on an artistic journey that unfolds alongside and through his martial arts practice. He explores how internal cultivation and movement give form to the relationship between the visible and invisible aspects of our being.

The talk will be followed by a live sword demonstration, through which Ray translates principles from rare internal cultivation traditions, including Baguazhang and Tengu swordsmanship, traditions traditionally shared within closed lineages, into direct, embodied experience. This demonstration highlights foundational human movement and internal awareness, revealing how clarity, centeredness, and vitality emerge through practice. Participants will then be guided on a gallery tour of the exhibition, including selections from the Light Mandala series and the participatory Portal installation, with context that connects the visual work to the practices that generated it.

This event is complimentary and open to the public; parking included for attendees.
