Get ready for ʻAha Hoʻolōkahi
2027 Hawaiian Health & Well-Being Summit
Papa Ola Lōkahi will host ‘Aha Ho‘olōkahi: 2027 Native Hawaiian Health & Well-Being Summit on April 21-23, 2027.
The theme is E nānā ana i ka ʻōpua o ka ʻāina ~ Observing the horizon and clouds in seeking to discover what lies ahead.
Imagine a constellation of health practitioners & professionals, kūpuna, community members, students, researchers, and many others building stronger relationships, navigating through recovery toward resilient communities. We are watching for signs in the elements that surround us. We are looking beyond the ocean to our continental cousins. We are celebrating the innovation and wisdom of our communities.
‘Aha Ho‘olōkahi 2027 is designed to provide a safe and meaningful in-person experience for attendees as we amplify traditional and emerging knowledge; exchange ideas and resources around health, healing and well-being; and envision a future where we thrive in harmony and wholeness.
Hui pū mai i ke ‘Aha Ho‘olōkahi 2027!
