Wanaoʻa (Projections)

Origins and migrations are of greater value when from them we can draw guidance, inspiration, clarity, spiritual health and empowerment to live in a Hawaiʻi manner that is non-endangering to other living systems from which we draw upon our own human existence. Wanaoʻa is largely an instrument to help project the learnings of Kaula Piko and Leleaoa into our daily life and into the decisions we make that affect a Hawaiʻi world-view.
Wahi Pana (Spiritual Places)
