Wild Mama Voices is a free monthly community event. Join us on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at 5:30 PM, as we gather at Ka Waiwai (Mo'ilili) for a riveting conversation with our most precious elder, Dr. Helen Stewart who has lived life beyond the binary as a mama, partner, spiritual person with intuitive gifts, and business advisor.

As Black, Brown, & Indigenous Mamas, we historically expand far beyond the binary of western perceptions of what it means to be a mother, a woman, a sexual being, and spiritual conduit and this expansive expression more than not confronts the binary of the patriarchy and colonialism.

With eight decades of experience in this life, Helen will share her deep wisdom and lessons of living a life that pushes against societal norms and how to trust your deep intuition to live as the unique mama you are. RSVP

In celebration of the book, “Under a Full Moon and a Guiding Star”, join us for reflections and meditations shared by Author - Lani Almanza during a guided forest bathing experience with Phyllis Look of Forest Bathing Hawai’i.

A gentle, highly interactive immersion in a 100-year-old botanical garden just 20 minutes from Waikīkī. Your guide will offer a series of sensory invitations, plus opportunities to quietly reflect, and to share your observations with other walk participants. Suitable for most physical abilities.

*entry free includes refreshments, and a free copy of the book, UNDER A FULL MOON AND A GUIDING STAR.
