About
THE ALOHA SPIRIT
The "Aloha Spirit" is a Hawaiian concept that embodies a deep sense of love, compassion, respect, and kindness towards others, essentially representing a way of life that emphasizes positive interactions, community unity, and a connection to the land. The word ‘Aloha’ means far more than ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye,’ as it embodies ‘love’ and is considered a core value in Hawaiian culture; it is even codified as a law in the state of Hawaii.
About
ALOHA AINA
The concept of aloha ʻāina, or love of the land, teaches us that if we take care of the land, it will take care of us. It's a central idea in Native Hawaiian culture, cosmology, and thought.
Aloha ʻāina is a practice of stewardship that teaches that taking care of the land will lead to reciprocity. It's a relationship with the land, nature, and the people and communities that are important to you. It's a way of expressing respect for the land and its role as a provider of food, shelter, and a sense of identity. It's a way of striving to improve the well-being of Hawaiʻi.
HOW IS ALOHA AINA PRACTICED?
Aloha Aina is expressed through attitudes of respect, such as returning gifts to the land, beautifying it, and using it properly. It's expressed through practices that foster a connection with the land, such as starting a garden, volunteering at a community farm, or cultivating a healing space.
