July 2 - Our First Event of 2023
The first half of 2023 felt a little stagnant and uninspiring. However, as the first supermoon of the year approached, we felt it was time to kick off our 2023 event schedule! On the eve of the July 3 supermoon, Hui Mālamalama held it’s first event of 2023 in partnership with High Heart Academy and Ayumi Ueda at the beautiful Kolea Landing Estate in Kailua.
Like previous events, our guests were treated to a one-hour cupping session accompanied by a gorgeous sound bath performed by Ayumi and guided meditation by Uakea of High Heart Academy. However, unlike the events of the past, the location added a deeper sense of tranquility and elegance.
We offered four sessions, with four participants in each, starting at 9:30am. Upon registering, each guest was provided instructions to the venue. The participants were asked to arrive a minimum of twenty minutes prior to their appointment and park at Kailua Beach Park. Once parked they were to text for pick up. The chauffeur arrived (a chauffeur!!!? WHAT? Yes, that was fun) and took them to the Kolea Landing Estate, located in the exclusive Lanikai neighborhood of Kailua.
Upon entering the home, guests were showered with rose pedals on their path and offered hand sanitizer. The open and spacious estate allowed guests to freely move around the living room, dining room and kitchen. Refreshments and light pupu’s, including delicious strawberry and cream sandwiches made by Liam (Baking With Rizz) were on offer.
When ready, each participant was asked to move outside to the covered lanai and chose a table. When everyone was settled the session began. Jackie started cupping while Ayumi began playing. Uakea started the guided meditation by taking the group into a light meditative state. As everyone focused on breathing and relaxing, she was able to speak to each participant individually and cater the remaining meditation for each person. At each stage of the guided meditation, Uakea communicated to everyone. Those wanting to go deeper, were welcomed to continue with her. While those wanting a less emotional meditative experience, were welcomed to remain where they were and simply continue breathing.
As each participant traveled through their own one-hour journey, enveloped by the soothing sounds of Ayumi, the healing touch of Jackie and emotional safety of Uakea, we were privileged to watch their transformations and release. Upon completion of the session the grounds of Kolea Landing also offered a large grassy yard for additional grounding or a short walk to the beach for salt water healing.
While the work of our practitioners and partners is unmatched, we noticed increased tranquility and healing by offering the sessions at such a beautiful and peaceful space.
As with every event we love to feedback! Here are a few of the comments we received:
“I felt a release that was much needed. I now feel relaxed and calm.”
“The ambience of the location, calming sounds from the sound bath, Uakea’s calming words, talking me through things”
“Complete relaxation of my mind and body, soul rejuvenated. Found clarity of mind and complete serenity.”
“Totally helped me get out of my head and back into my body”
“My favorite part was setting an intention and allowing the process to take on a purpose of serenity. It was a calming, peaceful process that I can take with my into my daily life.”
As always, we are humbled and grateful for the support and kindness each and everyone has shown to us. Please keep an eye out for more events coming soon! If you’re on Instagram, you can catch our highlights HERE.
