For UHMC employees who have a desire to learn and practice the Aloha Response. Members of our community will also participate in this cohort.

Monday following this meeting, July 30 – Pono will send out a weekly email practices:

• Week 1 – Ahonui
• Week 2 – Haahaa
• Week 3 – Akahi
• Week 4 – Oluʻolu
• Week 5 – Lokahi

Each individual is responsible for practicing each of the values according to the email message and to reflect on it in their personal and professional lives and to journal during the time.

Pono asks that no one consult or speak with any of the other participants about their experiences, thoughts, and ideas regarding the practice during the time.

After week 5, we will have a debrief meeting (4 hours) with Pono. And then the process begins again but sharing is allowed and the group is expected to meet monthly to discuss and find potential Aloha Responses for issues, opportunities, etc. which the participants are dealing with.
