@KualoaHi If there was one thing we were reminded of, it is this: abundance grows where people choose to care deeply for place, for one another, and for the future still to come.

[Hoʻokuaʻāina @hookuaaina]

As we prepare to take on the kuleana of restoring more than 100 acres back to a state of waiwai, we know we cannot do this work alone. It is essential that we continue learning from and alongside those who are deeply committed to stewarding ʻāina and nourishing our communities.

[Hoʻokuaʻāina @hookuaaina]

@KualoaHi Taylor, mahalo for the care and thoughtfulness poured into such a rich day of learning. We left with full bellies, inspired hearts, and renewed clarity around our own kuleana—to continue stewarding Kapalai faithfully while dreaming boldly about what is possible at Pālāwai.

[Hoʻokuaʻāina @hookuaaina]

We love to share the experience in the lepo, and we missed sharing it with you. 🤎
Mahalo nui to everyone who showed up. See you at the next one.

Finally.🌱

After the Kona Low Storms kept forcing us to cancel our community days, we were able to finally get back in the loʻi this Saturday with kaiāulu for Community Day at Kapalai.

Mud. Stories. Laulima. And so many faces we’ve been missing.

And now, we’re looking for the next cohort. Somewhere out there is our next group of ʻōpio ready to begin this journey. It could be you, or someone you know. We’re saving you a seat. Please share this with someone who should be here too. Applications close May 24!

Lei making, kīhei painting, set up, and last-minute to-do’s, our team came together last Saturday to prepare for our most special event of the year: Hōʻike!!

They came in as students, but they leave as grounded, capable leaders connected to ʻāina and community. This is the part of ASA you don’t see on a brochure. The growth. The transformation. The ʻike that stays with them long after the program ends.

5:45 AM. Still dark outside. But something pulls you out of bed — because the ʻāina is calling and you said yes.
