Healing Ocean and Spiritual Cleansing Cultural Practice
1h30
About this activity
Saturday mornings at 7am, meet this tour at the entrance to the Fort DeRussy Hawaii Army Museum. Join as the sun is just beginning to crest the Ko'olau Mountains, for a 90-minute spiritual cleanse in the waters of Waikiki. This area is a very spiritual place, and Hawaiian people have practiced healing and cleansing in the ocean for centuries.
After making the short walk down to the beach, your cultural practitioner will open with a chant to express gratitude for the start of a new day. This will then be followed by another chant as you prepare to enter the ocean, which as your cultural practitioner will instruct, should only take place when your mind, body and spirit are fully ready. Your time in the ocean is a personal experience, and length of time is not a concern, nor is it clocked or documented.
This traditional practice ends at the beach with a gathering to give thanks to the ocean, and celebrate the dawn of a new day with the essence of spiritual wellness.
