Crystal Light Bed in Hawaii

A Crystal Light Bed, sometimes also called an advanced chromo therapy machine is a spiritual
treatment device that uses colored light beams focused at your chakras or energy centers through
seven very pure quartz crystals. The alternating lights produce a balancing effect on your energy
body as you lay with your eyes closed and meditate to soft relaxing music while your energy
body is receiving this external assistance to stay in balance.

Developed by John of God, crystal
beds use Brazilian clear-cut
quartz crystals to generate color and
light therapy to cleanse, clear and raisethe vibration of your chakras (also known as energy centers).
A session consists of lying in the bed for approximately 30 minutes while listening to soothing music and relaxing (many people fall asleep or into a deep meditative state).

Crystal Light Bed Therapy Sessions:

I invite you to take the journey into your own healing with The Crystal Light Bed in Hawaii at
Island Women’s Healing in Pahoa.

Sessions can be enjoyed daily in time increments of 30 minutes.

30 Minute Sessions: $25.00
Sessions by appointment. Contact: Hallie Larsson (808) 756-3034

Since we are such a small town, this calendar is intended to assist people and organizations in scheduling events and not overlap other events. There have been a series of events and parties recently that have been scheduled on the same day and time thus causing many to have to make a choice between Event A and Party B . We hope this helps.

Creating Sustainable Communities-"Zombie Apocalypse"

We’ve received a request from the Imiloa Astronomy Center to please provide contacts or help reach out to people who are involved in creating sustainable communities or unique systems, equipment, etc. that are geared toward self-sustainability (like bicycle-powered washing

machines, etc.). They are having some educational events this October with the theme of "Zombie Apocalypse" – the idea being that they want to share innovative, cool ways people are working toward self-sustainability on the island. Anyhow – this could be a great way to raise more awareness throughout Puna about what your communities

are up to, what the Hawaii Sustainable Community Alliance is pushing for, etc.

If you’re interested, or if you know of anyone out there who has created cool prototypes of any sustainable contraptions they might be interested in sharing, etc., please contact or have them contact Craig Mitchel asap at cmitchell 969-9720.

Aikido. Thursday 6pm-7pm. Aikido is a beautiful, flowing Japanese

martial art that focuses on creating a flawless connection with your own

and your opponent’s mind and body to achieve true victory. Most attacks

are derived from sword fighting. Grabs and open-handed blows are

prevalent. Defenses make use of the opponent’s momentum, direction of

attach, and body mechanics and often look circular, mostly ending in

throws, arm- or wrist-locks. Aikido philosophy states that true victory

means winning against your own weakness and achieving harmony with the people and the world. Training aikido will improve your posture, body

coordination, and confidence. You will learn skills useful for self

defense, reducing stress levels, controlling your temper, and solving

problems in everyday life. Cost $7.

Swing Dance. Friday 7:30pm – 9:00pm. If you ever wanted to dance like

Fred Astair…well, we can’t promise you’ll learn that, but we DO promise to

teach you this:

– How to listen to the music and do what it asks of your body.

– How to get a good connection with your partner, lead and follow well.

– Basic (and later more advanced) Lindy Hop steps for couple dancing.

– Jazz steps for individual dancing – if you’re a juggler, prop

manipulator or anything related, this will add a whole new flavor to your

performance! Cost $7

Ongoing Class Schedule:

Course Inspiration
"Aloha ‘Aina" is Hawaiian for "love of the land", or "to love, respect, and nurture the land." As human beings now facing a time of great environmental and social transformation, we believe that it is through this spirit of reconnecting to ourselves, to our communities, and to the Earth with a spirit of love and care that we will renew and restore a healthy balance of human beings living in harmony with each other and their natural environment. We are inspired and grateful to be offering this holistic permaculture design intensive to the greater Island Community to further empower and synergize our efforts of personal, ecological, and social regeneration.

Course Description
The Aloha ‘Aina Holistic Permaculture Design Course will include the standard 72-hour permaculture design curriculum based upon the original Mollison and Holmgren ideas and design philosophies published in The Permaculture Designer’s Manual, as well as be a nourishing retreat and hands-on immersion experience of sustainable living ecovillage design. In addition to the standard permaculture design certification curriculum, we recognize permaculture as an expanding, holistic design philosophy encompassing many fields. Accordingly, this permaculture design course will include and integrate additional content and activities such as nature awareness, indigenous wisdom, embodiment practices, inner work, group process, ecovillage design, hands-on, and more. With a focus on tending the inner, outer, and community landscapes… course participants will work with each other and local community residents on tangible design project scenarios to implement positive transformation within themselves and in the local community.

Developing a culture of inclusion and equality, reaching consent as a whole group, and being empowered to act swiftly and decisively are benchmarks of success for any organization, project, or community. Dynamic Governance is a proven approach that builds trust, inspires participation, and allows cohesive teams to effectively get results within their own sphere, while supporting the broader goals and success of the entire organization.
