Our  Loving Kindness Ceremony was broadcast live over the Internet for Paul Hugel’s birthday March 13, 2009.     

It took place at Kukuipuka Heiau, Maui.

Kukuipuka Heiau Protocol:

A heiau is a Hawaiian temple and so much more.  

It is a designated place for the practice of prayer and at Kukuipuka for healing.   

Proper respect should be shown at all times. 

● Remove shoes before entering heiau

● You may dress in your traditional regalia.  

In Hawaii women wear kihei (sarong) tied over left shoulder over clothes.  

Men wear kihei tied over right shoulder. 

● Ho’okupu (offerings) are not required.  

Your silent prayers or chants are an offering in itself.  

If you would like to make a Ho’okupu to Kukuipuka, the simple rule is to bring items that are natural, such as flowers, water, plants, leis, ferns or other greenery.  

● Line up at upper entrance of heiau and you will be motioned in by the Kahu.

( Lei’ohu Ryder will not be there but know that the ancient Kahu are present)

● You may chant or do a silent prayer before entering.

● Do not sit on the rocks. They are sacred. 

● No food allowed inside walls of heiau area 

Please clean up
