Standing Above the Clouds with Kumu Pua Case

Standing Above the Clouds The Mountain is Our Teacher Hosted by Tanya Yamanaka, Ola Ka Moku is a podcast for and about the people and places of Hawaii Island.  Today, guest Pua Case shares and reflects on the growth and wellspring of creativity that has come from the Mauna Kea movement.   The Mauna is our teacher, our protector.  Clarity is the word. One need not agree with the movement, we are all on our own timeline and path. Yet to not acknowledge that we are living in a remarkable time in which we are witness to the evolution of an entire culture would be short-sighted of us as fellow humans. This movement is not just culturally meaningful, it is an evolutionary current for us to catch and feel into in order to collectively become more. Check out some of the incredible creative projects that have come forth at https://www.mkea.info/mkea-projects. I hope you enjoy this conversation. And mahalo to Pua for her patience with me (not kanak but learning every day) and for graciously setting me straight (as straight as I can be) when needed.
