THE MYSTICISM OF ALOHA
A workshop by Lehua Lopez
Saturday, March 8, 2025,
2 to 3:30 PM
At New Thought Center of Hawaii (on the lanai)
Fee: $20/person
‘Aloha’ is often described as a greeting or farewell. But most of us in Hawai`i recognize that ‘aloha’ means far more! New Thought’s mission is to be “A Sanctuary of Aloha for the nourishment, development, and evolution of each individual’s unique spiritual path.” ‘Aloha’ is also defined and codified in Hawai`i state law: “It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaiʻi.”
But ‘aloha’ is also a commercial brand (for things like protein bars and shirts), social and cultural causes (e.g., “Aloha `Aina,” “Kapu Aloha”), and in the titles of forgettable (and regrettable) movies! But what does ‘aloha’ really mean? What is the mystical sense of ‘aloha’ and the term, ‘aloha spirit’? Why and how should we use the word ‘aloha,’ especially in atmosphere of our current American society?
In this workshop, Lehua Lopez will discuss ‘aloha’ as defined by Aunty Pilahi Paki back in the early 1970’s and its mystical evolution as a modern term of “mutual regard and affection, extending warmth in caring to others with no obligation in return.” And why ‘aloha,’ is…”the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.”
Lehua Lopez, born and raised in Hawai`i, and the Hawaiian culture, received her master’s degree in cultural anthropology from the University of New Mexico (Albuquerque) where she currently resides as an economic refugee from Hawai`i. She has been teaching Hawaiian culture to adults and keiki for more than 40 years. A gifted presenter, she delights her audiences with mesmerizing stories and complex insights
