The overall goal of our programs is to restore the balance or harmony (pono) between all these interrelated facets of human existence in the spirit of compassion (lokomaika i) and to realign the spirit, mind and body to become one. Although our program targets Native Hawaiians, it is our long-standing policy that our services be available to all, regardless of ethnic or national origin. <br><br>To ensure the protection, preservation and perpetuation of this sacred traditional practice, we are developing a 3-tiered Educational program where we offer instruction in Traditional Hawaiian Healing Arts. Once completed, we will have a viable traditional healer program that unites a traditional  uniki/graduation with a fully accredited educational program that will provide interested students with an Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Hawaiian Healing Arts. <br><br><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=510713"><font color="#0000FF"><U>CLICK HERE to DONATE to our programs</U><br></p><br></font><br><br><p align="center"><font size="20"><b>Board of Directors, <br>%26 Management Team</b></font><br>Auntie Mary Fragas<br><a href="mailto:christine@holistichonu.com"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Christine Galiza</u></font></a><BR><br><a href="mailto:amberjose@holistichonu.com" target="_blank" ><font color="#0000FF"><u>Amber Jose</u></font></a><br>Kawaikapuokalani Hewett<br><a href="mailto:dainalandeza@holistichonu.com"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Daina Landeza</u></font></a><BR><br><a href="mailto:suziko@holistichonu.com"target="_blank"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Suzi Ko</u></font></a><BR><br><a href="mailto:michael@holistichonu.com"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Michael MacDougall </u></font></a><BR><br><a href="mailto:smora@holistichonu.com"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Sirildo Mora</u></font></a><BR><br><a href="mailto:pmop@sbcglobal.net"><font color="#0000FF"><u>Pamela Shaw-Buffin</u></font></a><br><br></p><br> <br> </P> <P align=left><a href='#Top'>Top</a> </P> <H3 align=left><A name='products'></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;classes in hawaii</H3> <P align=left><p align="center"><b>HAWAIIAN HEALING ARTS INTENSIVE<br>with KAWAIKAPUOKALANI HEWETT</font><br></b><br>Mountain View/Volcano, Hawai'i<br><B>MAY 3 THROUGH 7, 2010<BR> Travel Days: May 2nd & May 8th</B><br><br>Cost: $1900 for 50 CE hours <BR> (includes tuition, room & board and ground transportation - <BR>we pick up & drop off at the Hilo airport only)<br><b>AIR FARE IS NOT INCLUDED</b><br><br><br><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=488437"><font color="#0000FF"><U>CLICK HERE to register for this series</U><br></p><br></font><br><br>Join us for 5 days of discovering Hawaiian healing arts and Lomilomi with world renown Kahuna Ho'ola, Haku Mele and Kumu Hula,Kawaikapuokalani K.

The wealthier the person, the greater the gifts that were given. The chiefs because of their wealth gave vast amounts of gifts. The maka ainana or the common people gave lesser gifts. But, everyone gave gifts or ho okupu/tribute. It remains to be our responsibility and tradition. <br><br><b><br><u>What is Ho'oponopono?</u></b><br>Ho oponopono is a cultural practice that incorporates various components to help realign the participant(s) with spirit, mind and body or past, present and future. Ho oponopono s intent is to bring harmony into your life, to help you regain cultural values of respect and aloha for one another, and to open your eyes to a healthier life ahead.<br><br>The components in Ho oponopono are: <br><b><i>Pule Wehe</i></b><tab><tab><tab>Opening prayer for guidance and <tab><tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>protection<br><b><i>Kumuhana</i></b><tab><tab><tab>The truthful sharing of problems <tab><tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>impairing you, and/or you and your family.<br><b><i>Mahiki</i></b><tab><tab><tab><tab>The Haku/Leader peels away one <tab><tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>problem layer at a time, helping you to <tab><tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>feel lighter and less burdened.<br><b><i>Ho omalu</i></b><tab><tab><tab>A time for silence and reflection<br><b><i>Pule Ho opau</i></b><tab><tab>Closing prayer<br><b><br><BR><br><u>Do you offer Ho'oponopono services?</u></b><br>Ho'oponopono services are available on a limited basis.

Once completed, our program will combine the unique resources of an authentic Kahuna -based training program with state and Federal accreditation to train qualified persons in this ancient art through (1) intensive study in the theory and practice of traditional healing, (2) refinement of skills and attitudes essential to traditional healers, and (3) further study in related fields such as ho oponopono and la au lapa au . <br><br>This project features our Kumu Ho ola  Uniki /Traditional Healing Practitioner program that introduces a lead instructor who is one of the last of his kind with a lineage and legacy link to the old Kahuna. A thorough pilot study will be conducted in order to properly transfer and maintain the integrity of the strict, esoteric, and complex traditional healing work to be perpetuated by this program. Upon successful completion of our pilot study, we will have a viable traditional healer program that culminates in the ultimate achievement for a traditional healer, a traditional  uniki ceremony; and a working educational program that will provide interested students with an Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Hawaiian Healing Arts: Advanced Practices. <br><br>We are also are seeking state and federal accreditation for our Hawaiian Healing Arts introductory program with plans to submit our advanced program for accreditation in the future. With accreditation, our programs will be widely accepted and State and Federal financial aid programs will be available to students to assist with the cost of education. The first step toward this accreditation is obtaining a stationary home for our institution. Currently, our programs are mobile and not conducive to accreditation.<br><br>Our education program focuses on issues that specifically affect the native indigenous healing community issues central to the survival of healing practices in a changing world. Our intention is to educate a body of Native Hawaiian and other healers in the fundamentals of Native Hawaiian traditional healing. Through our programs, it is our hope that our healers will work singularly and in tandem with primary care entities and blend their healing practices with allopathic care to afford Native Hawaiian and ultimately every indigenous client a comprehensive, culturally competent array of health care services. <br><br><br><br><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=510713"><font color="#0000FF"><U>CLICK HERE to DONATE to this program</U><br></p><br></font><br><br><b>E  Akahai e Na Hawai i </b> <br><font size="10"><i>Kawaikapuokalani K.
