Experience the heart of Hawaiian culture and its herbal medicine tradition at a special event on Saturday, August 31st  at the Lawai International Center in Kalaheo.

This extremely popular workshop will be led by Sean Chun, a renowned Hawaiian cultural practitioner from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Chun will discuss Hawaiian healing methodology and philosophy, including the use of la’au and ho’oponopono. La’au is healing with spirituality and herbs that address the body, mind, and spirit. Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

“We’ll talk about an overview of traditional Hawaiian healing, history, and about various arts that are practiced. A lot that’s out there today isn’t really traditional.” Chun said.  “I'll try to bring more awareness.”

“Holding the workshop and demonstration at the Lawai International Center is fitting. It's a good combination of place, time, and people who really understand what healing is about.” Chun said.

Sean Chun is the island coordinator of Kaua’i Kupuna Council of Traditional Healers, the cultural resource coordinator for Ho’ola Lahui Hawai'i, and coordinator of Pihana Ka 'Ikena, perpetuating the Hawaiian culture.

For reservations, there is a $50 donation. For more information text or call (808) 639-5952 or email info@lawaicenter.org
