♀ Divine Feminine Heiau ♀

We have been staying with our beautiful Ohana here at Noni Land.  Noni Land is a raw foods community founded by our friend David Wolfe.  The land is abundant with noni, cacao, coconuts, avocados and much, much more...  including honey bees!! I will be sharing a post on the land itself soon.

Recently a Heiau was discovered on the land by an energy worker visiting here.   A Heiau is an ancient Hawaiian temple where people would make offerings, heal the sick, pray etc. Diana, the woman who discovered the Heiau has been downloading its history for the last week and discovered it was used by woman as a place to gather and be during their moon times. Today eight of us woman held a circle at the Heiau to sing, sit and just BE.  We made crowns made of tea leaves and blue jade vines.  We offered food and flowers as a gift of Gratiude and honored of all those who gathered there long ago.  One woman even offered her locks of hair.  I am continually humbled by the beauty and life of this island.

These are the colors of Kauai! I used to be such an earth toned Mama with brown and green tones. Kauai has opened up the rainbow inside of me and now i find myself wearing all the bright colors including pink which i could never have imagined before!! You just cant escape the rainbow vibe here~ xx
