paʻūpili is the misty rain that moistens the pili grass
We reveal the light from within and allow luminous patterns to ripple inside and out.
We celebrate beauty in even the smallest expressions.
How does the experience of connection to the energy of a place trigger wellness?
Where does energy source and resonate from on this site?
“To reveal our Inner Light To find our Beacon
To weave the energy of our Storied Place and To discover our Spirit of Calm”

kaʻikaʻi is to stand proudly
We embrace the beauty of this ancient land.
Ka’anapali feels like it rose straight
The peaks, like an army, each stand proudly side by side.
Where is the The Poʻo of this site?
What quietly stands as a beacon?
Where do we gravitate to?
