In this gentle introduction, you’ll learn the essence of Ho’oponopono — an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation, forgiveness, and heartful connection.

We explore how these four simple phrases: I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. These can be quietly offered to someone you care about, someone you’ve struggled with, or anybody that you feel drawn towards.

This isn’t about blame or fixing, but about softening the space between you and another.

We close with a short, guided practice so you can experience the healing power of this ritual for yourself.

Ancient practice of healing,

A Hawaiian tradition called Ho'oponopono.

I love you,

I'm sorry,

Please forgive me,

Thank you,

I love you,

I'm sorry,
