About Hoʻi ka Hā
"Breathing Life Back Into"

Write your awesome label here.

Hoʻi ka Hā is a contemporary school of ancient knowledge and a fiscally managed program of  Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 94-3257650).

Arising in 2019, Hoʻi ka Hā – the heart-child of Kit Kanohoaloha Wynkoop – is a contemporary school of ancient knowledge for mature seekers that serves as a beacon of Truth in this world. ALOHA is the natural state of Being. All that Hoʻi ka Hā offers is in service to those who deeply aspire for liberation from the grip of ego identity to live, once again, as their true nature: ALOHA.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to employ Universal Truths and Ancient Wisdom Traditions to foster personal/professional transformation in people toward living ALOHA (embodying empathy, compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness).

We believe that, at this time in history, the planet needs real leaders – leaders who live ALOHA: Who possess an optimistic outlook, forge meaningful connections with others, have a clear understanding of their purpose and values, and possess the conviction that they can bring about positive change in their lives, communities, cities, states, country, and the world.


The more we live ALOHA, the more we experience peace & harmony. The more we experience peace & harmony, the more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion. The more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion, the more we treat others and the planet with kindness & compassion. This forms the basis of working together cooperatively – free of ego – on any issue that is for the highest good of all sentient beings and the planet.

OUR VISION

“The world turns to Hawaiʻi as they search for peace because Hawaiʻi has the key; and that key is ALOHA.” ~ Aunty Pilahi Pakī

CODE OF ETHICS
In order to maintain a safe refuge for meditative practice and contemplative experience, we join together in living by a code of ethics during our time at any program produced by Hoʻi ka Hā.
