CNHA is partnering with Alakaʻina Foundation Family of Companies and Kākoʻo Haleakalā to match up to $100,000 in community donations for ʻohana impacted by the devastating wildfires on Maui.

The fires have swept through Front Street and the entire coast of Lahaina, Maui, leaving behind destruction and heartache for thousands. Homes have been lost, businesses turned to ashes, and lives forever changed.

Together we can make a difference. Let's rally around our community in this time of need. Your donation can help provide immediate relief to those affected by this tragedy.

Every dollar you contribute will be matched up to $100,000, doubling the help we can provide to families and businesses in Lahaina. Your generosity will not only help them rebuild, but also show the strength of our unity and aloha spirit. Proceeds will go Maui organizations to support relief efforts.

Donate today to make a real difference in the lives of our Maui ʻohana. Your compassion and support can help us rise from the ashes and rebuild a stronger Lahaina together.

In addition to accepting monetary donations, CNHA is also accepting other donations at our headquarters from 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday through Friday at 91-1270 Kinoʻiki St. Kapolei, HI 96707. Please e-mail [email protected] for more information.

Today on Juneteenth we celebrate freedom for all! This holiday commemorates the June 19, 1865, emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States.

The Hawaiian Kingdom outlawed slavery seven years earlier on June 14, 1852, in Article 12 of the kingdom’s constitution, which states: “Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands: whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory, he shall be free.”

About Us

Established November 24, 2004, in California, and approved for 501(c)3 status February 2006, the Holistic Honu Wellness Center is a not-for-profit dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through education and healing. Our focus is to provide access and education of traditional Hawaiian cultural health practices to Native Hawaiians and the community as a whole. A goal extended in the spirit of compassion to all community members, regardless of ethnic or national origin, who seek opportunities to restore balance and harmony in their life.

Created from the vision of fifteen highly respected elders in Hilo, Hawaii as a way to assist Hawaiians away from home by providing a place knowledge and resources to connect, or in some cases, reconnect them to the richness of a culture that had become fragmented and traumatized with the advent of colonization and conquest. These elders were unique in that they lived during the time of the recognized Hawaiian Kingdom, spoke their mother tongue and lived a Hawaiian life. As such, this group represented the last living link to an enormously significant period for Hawaiians and Hawaii. Their upbringing coupled with their lives as healing practitioners during a century of tremendous change offered unique insight into what it was like to be a Hawaiian practitioner in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Over the next eight years, our founders and other native Hawaiian traditional healing elders in California and Hawaii shared personal histories including stories about what they lived through and what and how they were taught. Their accounts augmented and challenged our suppositions of healing, language, and history, and offered unique and valuable perspectives on what they saw happening in the world around them. Through their accounts, we were able to create a rough historical, educational model and develop introductory curricula for interested parties today.

Some of the cultural healing services and classes offered include, and are not limited to, ho'oponopono, lāʻau kāhea, lāʻau lapaʻau and lomilomi. Although our program focus targets Native Hawaiians, it is our long-standing policy that our services are made available to all in pursuit of education and healing.
