Get help with your ‘self-best’ path during free workshop

In honor of International Conflict Resolution Day, Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center and its partners are hosting a free workshop called “Ho‘opono Pono Ka Ala: Making Right More Right, the Path,” with kumu Mahealani Kuamo‘o-Henry, from 5-7 p.m. Friday (Oct. 26) in Campus Center Room 301 on the campus of the University of Hawaii in Hilo.

A reception with pupus starts at 4:45 p.m. Campus parking is free after 4 p.m.

The program begins with an introduction by the Rotary Peace Committee on “Hawai‘i Nei: Vision of International Peace.” Next is workshop presenter Kuamo‘o-Henry, a Hawaiian spirituality teacher and practitioner.

“To make right more right is to help people release self-limiting thought patterns and emotions and become more connected with their highest selves,” Kuamo‘o-Henry says. “You can’t let the mana‘o (intellect) and pu‘uwai (emotions) run amok; they’re destructive if you don’t train them to become skillful parts of you.”

This workshop will teach and provide an opportunity to try out specific new skills for better interactions that will help your “self-best” path.

This event is the third in the “Kakou: Let’s Work It Out!” workshop series, co-hosted by the County of Hawai’i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Ku‘ikahi, Rotary Club of South Hilo, Rotary Club of Hilo, Rotary Club of Hilo Bay, UH-Hilo Political Science and Administration of Justice Department and UH-Hilo International Student Services and Intercultural Education Office.
