TIKI
The Tiki International Knowledge Institute

Perpetuating our Polynesian Heritage for all

Message from our Founder:
Aloha!

The Tiki International Knowledge Institute (TIKI) is dedicated to the ongoing preservation and practice of our Polynesian heritage as practised by our forefathers. The influence of “civilised” society, which began with over zealous religious missionaries, has seen our society reduced to little more than a marketing gimmick to sell holidays to those stupid enough to settle in places where it snows in the colder months.

By inviting people of all backgrounds to participate in our pagan rituals, we aim to increase the knowledge and respect that people hold for our island cultures. One only needs to search for TIKI on the internet to witness the extent of people who assist us in advocating tiki culture. We believe we can inspire you to do the same, and help you to share the aloha ohana spirit with those closest to you.

Participant Feedback:
Edward – I really enjoyed learning from some of the true tiki masters. I especially liked the workshop on involving your friends, colleagues, and neighbours in tiki based events. We had a big luau and everyone got in and did a traditional honouring of the island gods – it was wild! We are already preparing our next one to coincide with the next full moon! Thank you so much!

Tina – I really enjoyed learning how to do a Tantric hula. The moves I can do really get my boyfriends attention! My love life is so much better, and his wife can’t work out why he is so content and satisfied. Love Tina!

Davo – Mate what a top place! Not only did I have a great time partying under the stars, I also learnt heaps of stuff about all that tiki stuff! It was tops!

Location:
The TIKI is located on a small and isolated tropical island not far from the Hawaiian islands. Its lush green rain forest, and pristine white beaches make it a perfect venue for people to get into contact with their inner tribal spirits. We have found it to be a great environment for people to escape their boss, their mobile phone, emails, and persistent tax collectors.

Contact Us:
Here at TIKI, we like to live a lifestyle as close as possible to a traditional island lifestyle. For that reason we do not have a connection to the telephone or other contact means. We do have an internet connection (hey, ebay rocks!), so please email us on [email protected] (Please put TIKI in the subject line so we can sort you from the drug and porn spam.
