Celebrating 40 Years of Unity in Kona
Join us each Sunday as we celebrate four decades of spiritual community, meaningful connection, and shared growth.
THIS SUNDAY - 8/23/26
Love in action is not always pleasing, accommodating, or avoiding conflict. Sometimes love comforts and encourages; and sometimes it speaks truth, establishes a boundary, or releases what is no longer healthy. Join us as we explore the partnership of love and wisdom and how we can act compassionately without abandoning ourselves.
Guest Speaker: Sasha Knowles
COMING NEXT - 8/30/26
Forgiveness vs. Ho'oponopono
What does it truly mean to forgive, release, and let go? Kealoha Sugiyama explores forgiveness alongside Hoʻoponopono, inviting us to consider the different ways we can move through hurt, restore harmony, and make space for peace. Through reflection, practical approaches to releasing what we no longer need to carry, and his own music, Kealoha offers a heartfelt exploration of healing, reconciliation, and the freedom that can come from letting go.
Guest Speaker: Kealoha Sugiyama
