Cultural Connection

Our Vision: Peace through Awareness

For the past 20 years, we have been learning the true essence of Aloha, Ohana, and Respect from the culturally connected Hawaiians. Each day reveals more of this profound culture, yet also highlights how much remains to be discovered. The depth of Hawaiian culture is beyond words; it must be felt and experienced.

“To hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable — that is Aloha.”

– Queen Liliuokalani, 1917

At Touch Kauai, we strive to be a valuable bridge, connecting our clients to the rich cultural expressions and spiritual significance of Hawaii, supporting peace on earth.

“The world will turn to Hawaiʻi as they search for world peace, because Hawaiʻi has the key… and that key is ALOHA.”

– Aunty Pilahi Paki, 1962

Aloha begins with ourselves, and reminds us how to be in relationship with ourselves, with each other, with the land that feeds us and with all that surrounds us, seen and unseen.

Learn and remember…

We deeply honor and respect the native people who graciously share their culture with us. We do not promise and sell certain cultural activities. If it is meant to be and the right time, respected cultural practitioners will support us in supporting you.

What does this mean for you?

In all Touch Kauai Services you’ll be directly or indirectly connected with Hawaiian values, sacred places and cultural aspects. You will learn through us and through our perspective, as we guide you to significant sites and experiences.

The more time you can dedicate to touching Kauai (each retreat includes at least one authentic experience), or the larger your group is, the easier it is for us to set up authentic experiences with cultural practitioners and local organizations.

The monetary exchange for cultural experiences through Touch Kauai is provided through generous donations given to practitioners and organizations, with your additional individual contributions welcomed, either through monetary support or by your willingness to give back in other ways. Your heart will know.

Join us at Touch Kauai and immerse yourself in the profound cultural wisdom of Hawaii.
