What we’re about

Nā Koa Māmālama | Guardians of Light
Honoring Ancient Wisdom | Living with Aloha | Illuminating the Path Forward

Aloha e nā hoa! 🌿✨

Welcome to Nā Koa Māmālama, a gathering space for those who walk the path of wisdom, strength, and light—honoring the traditions of our Polynesian ancestors while embracing the evolution of Hawaiian knowledge in today’s world.

In Hawaiian culture, koa symbolizes courage, leadership, and resilience—qualities of the warrior, protector, and healer. Māmālama means to care for, preserve, and illuminate. As Guardians of Light, we stand at the intersection of the past and future, cultivating a space where cultural wisdom, personal growth, and spiritual connection thrive.

🌊 What We Offer:
🔹 Talk Story & Cultural Discussions – Exploring Hawaiian history, values, and traditions.
🔹 Spiritual Practices & Ceremonies – Rooted in aloha, pule (prayer), and elemental connection.
🔹 Healing & Energy Work – Integrating modern and ancient methods for holistic well-being.
🔹 Hoʻoponopono & Ancestral Work – Deepening self-awareness and healing generational wounds.
🔹 Nature Gatherings & Community Events – Honoring ʻāina (land), wai (water), and celestial rhythms.

🌺 Who This Is For:
This group is for those who feel the call to connect, learn, and embody the spirit of Hawaiian wisdom—whether you are kānaka maoli (Native Hawaiian), of Hawaiian descent, or an ally who deeply respects and honors these traditions. All who come with pono (good intent), open hearts, and a willingness to learn are welcome here.

🔥 Our Mission:
To uphold and share the essence of Hawaiian wisdom with respect, authenticity, and aloha—fostering a community of warriors, healers, and light-bearers who honor the past while shaping a meaningful future.

E komo mai! We invite you to join us on this journey of learning, healing, and empowerment. 🌿✨
