Hank was my first teacher, a gift for which I am eternally grateful. After a ten year hiatus, I was fortunate enough to spend time with Hank at a workshop in Washington a couple of years ago. As humans we tend to gravitate towards norms and standards and Hank did not fit very well the widely accepted idea that a shaman should be humble and understated. Charismatic and sometimes flamboyant, Hank combined a keen intellect with a wicked wit. A talented teacher of core shamanism, Hank brought a sincere dedication to Huna and a deep appreciation of other shamanic traditions to his workshops. To me his authenticity was never in doubt. Like many who practice shamanism, Hank believed in reincarnation. I remember a conversation on this subject where he noted while our souls voluntarily incarnate on Earth for a higher purpose, that this is a tough, barbarian planet. I remember him taking a deep breath and stating “I think I am ready for another three score and ten”. Aloha sensei, until we meet again!
