Healing Spaces

The Pono Pursuit approach to holding healing circles began in 2002. Over the years we have honed in on the critical elements of bringing together people of diverse backgrounds to celebrate our excellence and release the impacts of racial trauma.

Healing Space Agreements:

• Trust yourself.

• Take the time to validate your emotions and others.

• Lived experience is expertise.

• Prioritize your breath.
