Catholic Charities Hawaii’s Veteran’s Program will hold a Ho‘oponopono Workshop for military veterans on the Big Island.
The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, in Kailua-Kona at the Kona Vet Center, located in the Hale Kui Plaza at 73-4976 Kamanu Street, Suite 207.
Ho‘oponopono is a traditional Hawaiian practice that helps a person reconcile, forgive and heal spiritually, mentally and physically.
The ancient process will be facilitated by kumu Ramsay Taum, a well-known expert in indigenous wisdom, as he shares the deeper spiritual wisdom passed on to him by respected Hawaiian elders and wisdom-keepers.
Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. Participants must be U.S. military veterans or families, and proof of veteran’s status (DD214 or a Veteran ID) is required at check-in. The workshop is funded by the Disabled Veterans National Foundation and co-sponsored by Catholic Charities Hawaii, which has been providing support and assistance to veterans in Hawaii since 2010.
The Catholic Charities veteran’s program is dedicated to assisting the local veteran community in overcoming their obstacles, and providing them with the necessary resources and support to attain improved stability, independence and well-being.
CCH has been providing various services, including case management, housing assistance, job training and placement, and referrals for counseling, therapy, and other supportive services to improve the lives of veterans in Hawaii.
