Ola Ka Moku

How timely this event, as I have been having many conversations about this topic recently. Especially in regard to our concepts of power, time and energy, health, success, and what is real and meaningful, creating wider and wider gaps in self-understanding and thus, in our individual and collective mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.

I look forward to this lecture on Thursday, March 14 at 6pm at UHH. May we un-settler our minds and embrace the wildness of our nature.

Standing Above the Clouds with Kumu Pua Case is available now.

Hosted by Tanya Yamanaka, Ola Ka Moku is a podcast for and about the people and places of Hawaii Island. Today, guest Pua Case shares and reflects on the growth and wellspring of creativity that has come from the Mauna Kea movement. The Mauna is our teacher, our protector. Clarity is the word. One need not agree with the movement, we are all on our own timeline and path. Yet to not acknowledge that we are living in a remarkable time in which we are witness to the evolution of an entire culture would be short-sighted of us as fellow humans. This movement is not just culturally meaningful, it is an evolutionary current for us to catch and feel into in order to collectively become more. Check out some of the incredible creative projects that have come forth at https://www.mkea.info/mkea-projects.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. And mahalo to Pua for her patience with me (not kanak but learning every day) and for graciously setting me straight when needed.
