Our First Event

On Saturday June 11, we held our first Hui Mālamalama event!

The location of our event was at the Mu Barre and Temple in Kailua. A calming studio surrounded by the Ko’olau’s and adorned with grounding elements like natural wood and plants. The event day was broken up into three sessions, 9am, 11am and 1pm. Each session was an amazing hour and a half that included a relaxing and releasing fire cupping and massage provided by Jackie, a renewing and enveloping sound bath provided by Ayumi and a transformative gratitude meditation led by Gail.

Upon exiting we asked participants to complete a survey. All surveys were positive with some notable experiences that included participants saying, “I feel like a weight has lifted off. I feel light and like my mind and body reset and renewed.” Another mentioned feeling, “a good release.” Finally, one participant noted that they, “really needed this. I’ve been going to my dark place. This experience completely restored my energy and my calm.” Some also noted that the entire experience made them feel “peaceful” and “relaxed.”

While the day wasn’t without hiccups, everything worked out better than anticipated. Thus, making for a success day and an exhilarating start to our future!
