ʻAHA ʻOHANA 2022

Something for everyone!

In the spirit of ALOHA, we humbly present our 2022 ʻAHA ʻOHANA SERIES.

RISE! Keiki Vibrancy Series: Cultural Foundations
RISE! ʻŌpio Vibrancy Series: Adulting 101
RISE! Makua Vibrancy Series: Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit
RISE! Kupuna Vibrancy Series: Celebrating Our Precious Elders

The goal of the ʻAha ʻOhana series is to provide something for everyone, from hands-on culture-based learning experiences for our keiki to celebrating our kūpuna at our inaugural year-end Holokū Ball.

We look forward to sharing these upcoming events with all of you in 2022! E KOMO MAI!

'Aha Keiki - Cultural Foundations

Fire represents energy, a tool for transformation, connection to personal power, and inner strength. We offer age-appropriate cultural activities in a safe and supportive environment. Your child can look forward to completing season focused S.T.E.M. and arts/crafts projects, build ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), mele (songs), dances (hula) repertoire, and playing (mea pāʻani) games with staff and peers. Online registration is available now.

ʻAha ʻŌpio - Adulting 101

Air represents intellect, mental intention, and connection to universal life force. Our youth are progressive, flexible, curious, independent, adventurous, and intellectual. Air feeds our brain and is not fixed and solid but flexible and constantly moving. Air is the balance between fire and water and enables the mind to liberate the bonds of earth. Spread the word about our FREE RISE! ʻŌpio Vibrancy Series - Adulting 101 happening this Spring. This weekend-long event will cover various topics like Money and Credit Management, Investing, Taxes, Career Planning (Job Search, Resume, Interview, Professional Photos, etc.)

ʻAha Makua - Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit

Earth represents grounding, the foundation of life, substance, connection to life path, and family roots. Respectable, hardworking, detail-oriented, stable, reliable, cautious, punctual, practical. In esoteric wisdom, land relates to the body. If you do not look after yourself and are unfit or unhealthy, it becomes more challenging to support energies generated by the other elements. Land represents grounding, the foundation for life, and family roots. Share our RISE! Makua Vibrancy - Healthy Body, Mind, and Spirit Fair with all. Subject matter experts from Hawaiʻi and the DMV area are excited to share some of the following with all of you: Lomilomi (massage), Laʻau Lapaʻau (Healing with Whole Foods), Hula (Dance), Self Defense, Meditation, Cooking Demonstration, etc.

ʻAha Kūpuna - Celebrating Our Precious Elders

Water represents emotional release, intuition, and inner reflection. Our elders can be described as self-aware, adaptive, modest, devoted, reflective, authentic, integrating, and cooperative. Water is fluid and adaptable and dictates one's ability to manage various situations. In contrast, fire and air relate to thoughts and emotions, the element of water tests oneʻs ability to be fluid and adaptable when faced with adversity. Join us as we honor the journey of our elders/ancestors at our inaugural RISE! Kūpuna Vibrancy Series - Celebrating our Hulu Kūpuna (Precious Elders) Holokū Ball Fundraiser in October.
