Aloha Kākou,

Something extraordinary is building on Kauai.

Since we shared the invitation for our first-ever Touch Kauai & Kaiāulu gathering (March 15-17), we've seen incredible momentum as members of our global community answer the call to deepen their connection through this unprecedented opportunity.

As Auntie Puna has been sharing, we've entered the Time of Prophecy - a time when restoring our relationship with Spirit, 'Āina (land, that which feeds us), and ancient wisdom becomes increasingly vital. This gathering represents a rare opportunity to experience that restoration directly, guided by relationships built with cultural practitioners over many years.

The gathering continues to fill, and with just over two weeks remaining, we encourage you to secure your place if you've been feeling called to participate. We're particularly excited that multiple revered cultural wisdom keepers are planning to join us, though as always, we honor that Spirit guides all gatherings.

Special Milestone: 24th Consecutive New Moon

This Thursday marks the 24th consecutive New Moon gathering - two full years of weaving wisdom traditions together each month. What began as a small circle has blossomed into a vibrant community connecting all the oceans of the world.

While the monthly gatherings provide a powerful connection with Indigenous wisdom, the March retreat offers something different: a chance to immerse yourself in Hawaiian cultural wisdom through direct, in-person experience. These complementary paths—virtual ceremony and physical immersion—create beautiful opportunities to deepen our connection to ancient wisdom.

Continue reading after the New Moon details for more about the transformative path community members are discovering through this work.

Join us this Thursday, February 27th at 7:30 AM Hawaiʻi Time as we celebrate this milestone gathering. We'll be joined by wisdom keepers from around the world as we continue answering the call from the Council of Indigenous Sages of Colombia.

The Journey from Virtual to Physical Connection

Members of our community have found that experiencing both virtual gatherings and in-person immersions creates a profound cycle of learning and integration. Alison, who began with our New Moon ceremonies, deepened her journey through the Ancestral Wisdom Collective, and then participated in an in-person gathering with Indigenous elders, shares:

Whether you've been with us since the beginning or are just discovering this community, we welcome you to both the milestone New Moon gathering this Thursday and our transformative March retreat on Kauai, where the momentum continues to build as spaces fill quickly.

Me ke aloha pumehana,

Kaiāulu & Touch Kauai

P.S. Our upcoming retreat represents a unique window of opportunity - future collaborations may evolve differently in both form and investment required. If you've been feeling called to deepen your connection with Hawaiian wisdom through direct experience, this inaugural gathering holds special significance. We're particularly delighted that the gathering continues to attract respected cultural wisdom keepers to share in this special time together.
