‘Imi Na‘auao
A pathway of learning is revealed
Hō Mai ka Pono supports a learning process where the natural world is ke kumu nui (the teacher). We value ‘imi na‘auao as both a path of learning and of self-discovery. Our love of nā tūpuna kahiko inspires us to celebrate the incredible intelligence that shaped their worldview. We recognize that the same path of learning that existed traditionally still unfolds before us today.
Pili Mahina
Mahina leads the way
The cycles of Mahina show us how time flows. In the natural world, so much is determined through timing and flow. To be in alignment with the natural world is to embrace this flow.

Tom Lenchanko
Tom Lenchanko is a dedicated caretaker of O‘ahuʻs central sacred site. Along with Jo-Lin Lenchanko, Tom is committed to preserving an elaborate sacred site that includes birth stones and advanced levels of astronomy. Hō Mai ka Pono will be forever supportive of their work.
Ka Malama
A cycle of light
What is known as the lunar cycle today, can be described traditionally as ka malama. We can think of the light of Mahina as a “lama” (torch) that “mālamalama” (shines). During this cycle, Mahina grows through ho‘onui, becomes round during poepoe, and wanes during ho‘ēmi.

Ho‘omau ka ‘imi na‘auao
Perpetuating a life-long practice of learning
Celebrating the incredible intelligence of nā tūpuna kahiko
Nā tūpuna understood the flow of life with great comprehension. Traditional learning was and is shaped by an understanding that the natural world is a primary kumu (teacher). The na‘au (a personal sense of intuition) guided learning and was seen as the place where true intelligence is experienced. Similarly, a na‘au based all inclusive view of the natural world is still possible today. We encourage perpetuation of this form of learning through practice. We embrace a journey where the na‘au and the natural world support work together to allow us to experience our personal version of intelligence. In many ways, our greatest potential can be reached through returning to these timeless values. A sense of wholeness is experienced when we continue the practice of finding personal meaning through our sense of connection with the natural world.
