Experience the heart of Hawaiian culture and its herbal medicine tradition at a special event on Saturday, July 19 at the Lawai International Center in Kalaheo.
This extremely popular workshop will be led by Sean Chun, a renowned Hawaiian cultural practitioner from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Chun will discuss Hawaiian healing methodology and philosophy, including the use of la’au and ho’oponopono. La’au is healing with spirituality and herbs that addresses the body, mind, and spirit. Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of
reconciliation and forgiveness.
“We will talk about an overview of traditional Hawaiian healing, history, and about various arts that are practiced,” Chun said. “A lot that’s out there today isn’t really traditional. I’ll try to bring more awareness.”
The cost is $50 donation per person. Light refreshments will be served. For reservations visit www.lawaicenter.org; call (808) 639-5952; email info@lawaicenter.org The workshop address is 3381 Wawae Road in Kalaheo.
Chun is the island coordinator of Kaua’i Kupuna Council of Traditional Healers, the cultural resource coordinator for H’ola Lahui Hawa’ii, and coordinator of Pihana Ka ‘Ikena, perpetuating the Hawaiian culture.
The mission of the Lawai International Center is to preserve and nurture the land and its rich cultural heritage by extending a heartfelt invitation to all who wish to experience its essence through the spirit of compassion and aloha.
