About the event

"He waʻa he moku, he moku he waʻa 

(The canoe is our island, and the island is our canoe) 

We will come together to celebrate and learn deep nature connection: a way of life in Polynesia. We will explore ways to Aloha and Malama Aina (to love and respect the land) through deep nature connection.  Just how the people of Polynesia have done for millennia. 

Our days will be a mixture of:

  • Grounding through storytelling (mo'olele), pule and mele (song) and connection to the elements (Ke Ala o Ka Mahina).
  • Adventuring into the wahi pana (sacred spots) from the mauka (mountains) to the makai (ocean) 
  • Sensory awareness activities and Forest Bathing that develop a closer bond with flora and fauna of Hawaii. 
  • Free time to further unwind or enjoy new friendships
  • Additional extras of learning la'au lapa'au (the Hawaiian healing plants/medicine), Lomi Lomi (massage) and Wayfinding techniques. 

Together we will pause and listen to the earth again (on an island that still rumbles under your feet) and remember the way of our collective ancestors;  this powerful knowing will instill a sense of awe and magic not only for ourselves but for our whole family (or the young learners we work with). This is an opportunity to come together to celebrate our journeys, replenish our life force energy (mana), learn and laugh together!

The price includes  1 night of accommodation (camping), sensory games, daily yoga & meditation, women's circle, talks, and transportation for any activities we do. 

Your mentors who will guide you are:

Mariah Mann (Journeys in the Na'au, Moku o Keawe, Hawaii) Check out my bio @ https://www.journeysinthenaau.com/about-us

Katie Earle (Bush Farm School, Aotearoa New Zealand) has been on a quest for meaningful connection with self, others, and nature which has led her on a 15-year journey around the world.  It wasn’t until her Ah-ha moment when she began to slow down and take note of what was happening around her. She was selected to take part in Aoraki Bound, a 15-day journey with Ngāi Tahu, (a tribe of New Zealand). This experience of journeying deeper into place was a huge awakening with immediate repercussions with her work with her clients (young and old) in both Aotearoa/NZ and in Alaska. She is passionate about place-based journeys, living simply and awakening awe and magic to all those who come by. 

Have children? No problem! Journeys in the Na'au Mentors will also be running a Children's Programs both days for youth (5 - 12 years old). Learn more about our Nature Mentors @ https://www.journeysinthenaau.com/about-us

"Thank you, Mariah, for providing such an immersive nature experience for my children. Through your camps, my children have developed skills, passion, and reverence for nature that they will carry with them far into the future. Your dedication to honoring Hawaiian culture and the gifts our elders have left us is inspiring, and I am profoundly grateful!" -Steve

"I can't say enough great things about our 'Journey into the Na'au'. My kids and I learned so much. Each day we began by asking the forest for permission to enter, and it was amazing how our ears and eyes opened up to seeing and hearing things that we hadn't noticed before. From identifying local medicinal plants and herbs, edible foods, learning how to make a 5 minute fire, climbing trees, knife safety, shelter building, Mariah was able to cater the camp to exactly what our family was interested in. Mariah has a deep knowledge of nature skills intertwined with the Hawaiian culture and it made for a beautiful and memorable experience that we won't forget. Thanks so much Mariah!!" - Beth Winder

The joy my son expresses on a Journey day is worth a hundred 5 star review. Mariah's ease with nature, children, and Hawaiian culture is organic. I am thankful for the lessons and teachings she shares, and the unique opportunity she provides to enhance my child's daily life through nature mentoring. (P.S. always send extra extra pants. For real!) - Anna
