At Honaunau Farm we aspire to live "full spectrum", weaving our practical day to day engagement with a higher spiritual perspective.
Regenerative living is one of our guiding principals which for us means going beyond sustainability and actively taking steps to restore the health and wellbeing of all aspects of life. Collaboration is a key aspect of regenerative living creating many opportunities to harmonize with each other and nature. Inspiration is what gives us the energy we need to fulfill our purpose and sustain our health and wellbeing. Based on this integrative approach, we share our offerings and strive toward fulfilling our higher purpose. The farm is an ongoing opportunity for us to learn, grow, evolve and "walk a spiritual path with practical feet".
A great quote from Rumi further illuminates the necessity of personal growth as an integral part of doing worldly work.
'Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.' -Rumi

Collaborative Tools
Non Violent Communication - A tool for expressing and hearing one another's feelings and the needs that underly those feelings in a simple, positive, self responsible way. A basic introductory workshop with Marshall Rosenburg, the founder of this internationally acclaimed work, can be found on youtube.
Evolutionary Astrology - Evolutionary astrology is another tool to help bring awareness to the energies that are at play in our lives. Astrology with an evolutionary focus, can provide us with a map for our life. it can help shed light on our greatest potential and the challenges that we must overcome to fully embody our potential. It can be a practical, day to day, contemplative tool that guides us towards deeper insight and a more aware state of being. The Gene Keys are a transformational astrology tool we like to explore on the farm.
