Experience the heart of Hawaiian culture and its herbal medicine tradition at
a special event on Saturday, August 31 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.
