Send us a textHow might letting go open space for something new (and even different) to grow in your life?In this episode, co-hosts Belinda Liu and Omar Brownson, joined by season 4 guest, Dr. Paul Wang, explore how we move from the heat of transformation into grounded stillness — from fire to soil. Through their personal stories from Hawai‘i, Los Angeles, and the Galápagos, they reflect on navigating rapid change, embracing uncertainty, and trusting the slow process of adaptation.Dr. Paul shares Daoist wisdom on late summer's elemental shift, reminding us that fire's intensity naturally gives way to soil's stability. Together, they draw the Gratitude Blooming card for Forgiveness, sparking conversation about shedding what no longer serves and letting go with grace, not force.Whether you're in a season of growth, shedding, or simply holding steady, this episode offers grounded insight for finding balance, even in turbulent times.Meet us in person at our upcoming October Gratitude Blooming retreat at Belinda's newest retreat center on the Big Island of Hawaii — use promo code BIGTHANKS for 20% off.--- Create an intentional practice with your own Gratitude Blooming card deck, notecards, candle and much much more at our shop at www.gratitudeblooming.com.

Welcome back to Tales of Recovery. I'm honored to welcome today's guest, Kale Kaalekahi — a Hawaiian cultural artist, ceremonialist, and devoted grief tender. Kale's work is deeply rooted in the practices of Reindigenization and what he calls the Art of Human Making — guiding people back to their humanity through culture, ceremony, and collective healing. In this powerful conversation, Kale shares his journey growing up in Hawai‘i, navigating cultural identity, and healing intergenerational wounds. He speaks to the transformative power of grief, the importance of spiritual practice, and the sacred role of community in the healing process. We also dive into how his path became intertwined with Sacred Sons, and how part of his purpose now is to help prepare men to meet and support the feminine in sacred space — which led to the co-creation of Remembrance 2, a ceremonial retreat centered on rites of passage, healing, and deep reconnection. Together, we explore the importance of honoring ancestry, offering our grief as a sacred gift, and reclaiming our shared human experience — rooted in love, land, and and truth. In deep gratitude for this connection and shared words, may this land on your hearts with the opening of possibility for a better humanity.  Gris @kale.kaalekahi  www.kahukaalekahi.com

In this multi-grantee episode, Hawaiʻi Rising speaks with three organizations uplifting their communities through filmmaking. First, we speak with Pua Case from Mauna Kea Education & Awareness and filmmaker Jalena Keane-Lee about their feature-length documentary Standing Above the Clouds, which premiered last year. Building on an earlier short film with the same name released in 2020, the feature-length documentary follows three families of Native Hawaiian mother-daughter activists standing to protect sacred Mauna Kea from the construction of the massive Thirty Meter Telescope. Next, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Vera Zambonelli, the founder of Hawaiʻi Women in Filmmaking. Hawaiʻi Women in Filmmaking is a longtime HPF grantee partner committed to advancing gender equity in filmmaking and advocating for women to tell their stories through film with an intersectional lens. HWF's Reel Camps are filmmaking camps for girls and femme-identifying youth. Finally, we turn to the important behind-the-scenes work of archiving film footage with the initiative Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina. In this conversation recorded in 2023, we speak with Aunty Joan Lander of Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina and Emma Broderick from Puʻuhonua Society about this effort to catalog and archive over 6000 video tapes of footage shot by documentary organization Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina. To learn more about these hui, listen to our full episodes with them: 23. Mauna Kea Education and Awareness: Standing Every Day for the Mauna 32.

In this heartfelt episode, Brooke Conway reflects on the themes of identity and belonging as she traces her path from San Francisco to Samoa, Hawaiʻi, and Sicily. She shares how the spirit of aloha (and some incredible meals along the way) have helped her build connections and navigate healing. A chance meeting with Pono Shim became a turning point in her growth and offered her wisdom that continues to guide her through grief, motherhood, and her Social Work career. Brooke speaks to the power of values like akahai (grace) and oluolu (gentle strength), especially in moments of personal and collective challenge. This episode invites you to reflect on you own stories and to respond to the world with compassion. Mahalo for listening!  Episode Highlights00:33 Introduction to Brooke Conway02:31 San Francisco to Samoa to Hawaii: Where might we land?05:37 Three homes08:26 Sicily: reconnecting with ancestral roots13:45 Food as aloha, connection, identity16:21 Meeting Uncle Pono Shim: right place, right time17:54 Unlocking the healing medicine22:43 Sitting with the aloha practice during difficult times26:03 Leaning in to akahai (grace) during her grandmother's passing31:15 Stories as medicine33:26 Mental health and wellness - aiming for unity from "above the sides"34:48 Oluolu (gentle strength)37:39 Weaving the aloha values into Social Work39:39 Nelson Mandela interview with Oprah: Action and Unity vs. Humility41:15 Nelson Mandela as centered in self, not self-centered42:45 Watching current events with a critical eye: Is there an aloha response present? Am I seeing this situation through heavenʻs perspective? Am I seeing the world through the lens of my trauma?46:21 Is my hana my trauma response - or is it divinely inspired?48:26 Aloha and motherhood: kids are our greatest teachers   Welcome to the Above the Sides podcast! Join us on our journey to uncover what it means to think, act, and live aloha. The inspiration for this podcast is the late Pono Shim, former President and CEO of the Oʻahu Economic Development Board. His stories capture the essence of what it means to live aloha. He made it known that aloha is a lifestyle. It is not a solution to problems, a marketing brand or to be used as an advantage over anyone else. Aloha is to be honored and practiced.The name of this podcast is in reverence of Hawaiʻi's Queen Liliʻuokalani, who wrote: "To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable – that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.” Through these episodes, we seek to find that singular perspective, the one that is "above the sides" as we strive for universal peace.We welcome you to pause with us as we share the stories and voices of Hawai'i business leaders, educators and community members who have chosen to be lifelong students of aloha. Mahalo nui loa for listening.

The Pacific Ocean is not all that separates the 50th state from the American mainland. The Hawaiian islands remain a place apart, with a distinct culture and national identity borne out of the cyclone of colonial exploitation. Liam and Russian Sam are joined by Miguel (@whitejsakai) for Gladio Free Europe's first exploration of the history of Hawai'i, beginning with a look at the award-winning 2020 documentary CANE FIRE.Taking its name from the first Hollywood production shot on the island of Kauai, filmmaker Anthony Banua-Simon uncovers chains of exploitation that link the plantation economy of Hawai'i's past to the real estate and hospitality industries of the present. Accounts of violent labor wars in pre-statehood Hawaii are interwoven with contemporary vinettes of the everyday struggles of Hawaiian workers, and exoticized images used to sell Hawai'i from the 19th century to the present. While Hawai'i represents a tropical idyll for travelers across the globe, soaring costs of living rampant housing speculation have forced thousands of residents, particularly Native Hawaiians, to flee to the mainland. A general history of Hawaiian colonization starts at 28:24, from the ill-advised decisions of Captain James Cook in 1779 to the illegal imposition of Haole (white American) rule more than a century later. In between, Hawaiian monarchs and ali'i aristocrats established a unified nation that was the first non-European polity to be internationally recognized a legal peer by colonial contemporaries and the first country on earth to achieve universal literacy. 19th century Hawaiians had a vibrant press in their native language and made important diplomatic connections with neighboring Polynesian nations also groaning under the colonial threat. While many of these transformations were related to the growing influence of New England missionaries and other Haoles over the islands, Native Hawaiians like the missionary Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia and the "merrie monarch" King Kalākaua were the primary actors in making contact with the world beyond the waves.Like that of all nations, the identity of Hawai'i was carefully constructed by its aristocrats and industrialists during the development of a capitalist economy. Because while so many aspects of pre-colonial religion and culture were suppressed by missionaries and their aristocratic ali'i patrons, that which could be marketed to outsiders was preserved and promoted. Native Hawaiian leaders like Kalākaua and his sister Liliʻuokalani traveled the world to present an image of the Hawaiians as a dignified and civilized people. This was not enough to preserve Hawaiian sovereignty, but it established a romantic image of the islands that has enchanted outsiders for well over a century. Despite the violent overthrow of the islands' last queen, and the systematic disenfranchisement and ongoing of Native Hawaiians, Hawaiian culture, or at least a specific image of it, has found admirers as disparate as Elvis Presley and Chinese Premiere Jiang Zemin.
