Aloha Kākou,

The first New Moon of 2025 arrives Wednesday, marking the beginning of our ceremonial year and the dawning of the Chinese Year of the Snake. As wisdom traditions across cultures recognize this powerful transition time, we gather with Indigenous Elders from around the world. From the sacred shores of Hanalei Bay on Kauai, Kumu Hula Puna Kalama Dawson recently shared: "Time doesn't stop. It continues to flow, just like the oceans... We're blessed to be in every moment of every day with all the people of the world."

Click on the video above to hear Auntie Puna's message as we gather with hearts open to fresh possibilities while remaining firmly rooted in ancestral wisdom.
