First Hamakua Gathering was Wonderful! Consider a confidentiality round....

We had our first gathering in Honoka'a tonight at Dianne Evan's home. What a wonderful, authentic, diverse, comfortable, deep group!

Something that was very meaningful---a suggestion for other groups---
We did a round of each woman holding the talking piece and speaking her commitment to confidentiality and her understanding of it. It was a very deepening, heartfelt exchange and helped build the 'container' of trust.

Next meeting planned for 6:30 Tuesday 17th at Joyce and Joanie's house, 47-4505 Waipio Road (just under 3 miles from the Honoka'a post office, going toward the valley, on the left mauka side; turn at Hale I'O mailbox and go up driveway to big red house. Hint: the driveway is 3 curves in the road AFTER Waipio Wayside B & B-----and it's BEFORE the Hamakua ditch and 5mm) Contact Joyce at marvelbenoist@yahoo.com for directions. (775-1636 if you get lost)

Note: due to the number of interested Hamakua women, there may be another group forming during the daytime.
