ABOUT US
Mauliola Keʻehi is an education non-profit based at the historic tidal islands of Keʻehi that inspires participants to transformative healing through Hawaiian culture-based education. A visit to Keʻehi immerses the student in a range of physical, mental, cultural, and scientific activities grounded in Keʻehi’s rich history and demonstrates the evolving ecology of the islands.Through learning the moʻolelo (stories) and practices of our Hawaiian ancestors and the history of the islands–once home to aliʻi such as King Kalākaua and once a place for teaching navigation and shark riding - participants experience a unique opportunity for learning, healing, and well-being in the middle of urban Honolulu.
MISSION
The mission of Mauliola Keʻehi is to promote transformative healing through understanding the frequencies, vibrations, and Mana (energy) of the Honua (earth) that our Kupuna utilized to achieve Mauliola (wellbeing). The Honua is our ancestral medicine!
VISION
To build a pono community where every youth and adult has the ability to maintain the frequency of MAULIOLA.
Our own guiding principles include the following:
-
I ka wā ma mua, ka wā ma hope.
-
Our future is strongly rooted in the past.
-
-
‘O ka ikaika o ka mana‘o me ke kino.
-
Be strong in mind and body.
-
-
He waʻa he moku, he moku he waʻa.
-
A canoe is an island, an island is a canoe.
-
-
He po‘ina kai uli, kai ko‘o, ‘a‘ohe hina pūko‘a.
-
Though the sea be deep and rough, the coral remains standing. (‘Ōlelo No‘eau #905)

-
E mālama honua, i ola no ke kino.
-
Take care of earth, and in turn our own health
