Experience ‘Awa & Talanoa
A grounding and intentional practice rooted in Native Hawaiian and Pasifika ways of knowing, connection, and conversation.
Your Experience
Offered through the cultural guidance of Dr. Lelemia Irvine (University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu), this unique experience weaves together ancestral knowledge and Indigenous science.
‘Awa & Talanoa - Storytelling as Power, Dialogue as Resistance
In this space, participants are invited into Talanoa—relational dialogue that centers empathy, trust, and deep listening—while partaking in ʻawa, a sacred plant medicine traditionally used for reflection, clarity, and healing.
Whether you’re planning a conference, retreat, or community gathering, invite your participants to slow down, reflect, and reconnect through an ʻAwa & Talanoa session.
Facilitated with cultural integrity and care, this offering supports wellness, relationship-building, and Indigenous visibility in all spaces.
