Halekulani Dojo: Private Sessions and Experiences
Dojo Experiences with Resident Master Ray Carbullido
Halekulani introduces for a limited time a dedicated on-site dojo space designed for bespoke wellbeing regiments, movement practice, meditation, and self-cultivation.
Led by martial arts master, teacher, and artist Ray Carbullido, these sessions offer guests a rare opportunity to experience principles drawn from traditional martial systems and contemplative practices in an intimate setting. While Ray’s teachings emerge from martial arts, they are not style- or culture-specific, and no prior experience is required.
Tea and Tatami
Discover a moment of stillness within the tranquil setting of Halekulani Dojo. Led by Ray Carbullido, Tea and Tatami invites guests to slow down and cultivate mindfulness through guided meditation, breath, awareness, and quiet reflection.
The contemplative experience is complemented by Sakura Sencha, a delicate Japanese green tea blended with cherry blossoms, presented in collaboration with Tea Chest Hawaiʻi. Suitable for all experience levels, the intimate session offers a restorative opportunity to embody the harmony of meditation and tea.
Sunday | 10:00am–11:00am & Wednesday | 4:00pm-5:00pm
60 minutes | $75 per person
Walking Meditation
Set within Halekulani’s peaceful Garden Courtyard, Walking Meditation explores presence through intentional movement. Guests are guided through embodied techniques focused on posture, grounding, breath, balance, and deliberate foot placement.
Beginning with simple standing exercises before progressing into slow walking practices, the experience encourages greater awareness of the body and the present moment. Comfortable clothing is recommended, and barefoot participation is encouraged where appropriate.

60 minutes | $75 per person
