In this special short episode, we explore the deeper meaning of "hana" in the Hawaiian language and why it extends far beyond the Western concept of “work.” In this clip from a 2022 Zoom presentation, Uncle Pono Shim reflects on how hana is connected to breath, grace, purpose and ʻohana. Building on themes from last month’s Two Voyages episode, this moment stood out as such a meaningful reflection that we created a dedicated episode to share it. As a complement, we invite you to watch the E Ohana Hou 2020 video for a fuller understanding of these teachings. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnOzuZUhtaQ
