Ho'oponopono

Join us for a quiet session focused on building together, practicing active listening, and nurturing human connection. Featured Speaker: Beauty & bodywork specialist Bliss Addams is a UBC grad in Kinesiology and Psychology, guiding us through the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono. We explore how this method of reconciliation and forgiveness restores internal harmony, repairs emotional bonds, and fosters collective healing in our community. We will look at how taking personal responsibility for our own inner state can create profound, positive ripples in our wider community. If inspired, kindly share your experience of this topic and openly share in the discussion. Safety and Presence We are a pro-healing space.
