“To make right more right is to help people release self-limiting thought patterns and emotions and become more connected with their highest selves,” said Kumu Mahealani. “You can’t let the mana‘o (intellect) and pu‘uwai (emotions) run amok; they’re destructive if you don’t train them to become skillful parts of you.”
The workshop will present specific skills for improved interpersonal interactions and opportunities for practice. It will be the third event in the “Kakou: Let’s Work It Out!” workshop series, co-hosted by the County of Hawai‘i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center, Rotary Club of Hilo, Rotary Club of Hilo Bay, Rotary Club of South Hilo and UH-Hilo.
