Hāwane Rios Instagram – Eia ka leo heahea E ho‘omea mai ke ala I woke up feeling called to share about how Hale Haumea and this Papa came to be. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, my tita @vonkekuini were in deep conversation about life, trauma, joy and everything that comes with heartache and healing. A sacred part of her healing was receiving uhi in the form of ala ma’i and because I had gone through the journey of receiving mine, I offered to aha for her. She gathered the people she chose to be there and I invited people I knew that could use a safe space like this. It was in that moment that the Hale Haumea was created. I knew it was my souls purpose to continue with this Papa Oli so since then, we have gathered weekly on and off through the szns to oli and reflect together. We have done four hō‘ike and three ceremonial retreats. We just completed our Rites of Passage Ceremony this past October and now I feel ready to share the journey with the lehulehu. This group of women changed my life and the way I approach my own healing and the way I hold space for other peoples journey in healing. Chanting for the purpose of healing pain and trauma has shifted the way I hold my own triggers and my own shattering. It has taught me how to honor the triggers that other people have too. It has deepened my understanding of what living my cultural practice means and looks like for me. I see how much we all need spaces like these especially in these profoundly intense times. This Papa Oli is a place to learn more tools of grounding and centering through the activation of your own voice and prayers.
