When we say ALOHA, Nā Leo Kāne is referring to the Aloha Spirit Law, Hawaii Revised Statutes §5-7.5 as generously and lovingly shared by Pono Shim who was taught by Aunty Pilahi Paki. Aloha is...

  • Grace, kindness to be expressed with tenderness

  • Unbroken, unity to be expressed with harmony

  • Gentle, agreeable to be expressed with pleasantness

  • Empty, humility to be expressed with modesty

  • Waiting for the moment, patience to be expressed with perseverance

When we embody ALOHA, we empty ourselves of any preconceived ideas, judgments, or egos, and are able to gently engage one another with openness, reverence and trust. We share breath and life and are reminded of our interconnectedness.
