Peter Pomerance - who owned and operated Sushi Rock in Hawi, Hawaii for 17 years, started the non-profit Kohala Cares in March to provide food to local families. Here he talks about the partnership with Kokolulu |
|
As we look to 2021 with hope for a better year, continued resilience is key. And with your help, Kokolulu will be here to guide and inspire us toward resilience in the coming year.
If you haven’t yet made your year-end, tax-deductible gift to Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats, making your gift now will help to leverage an additional $23,000 to support seed and food resilience.
Fellow supporters, motivated by seeing so many people turn to helping others heal and feeding community members who can’t afford to buy food, have offered to match your gift! This 1:1 match will help you make a bigger impact and help Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats connect with even more people like you to raise awareness about the importance of healing those affected by chronic illness and making sure no one goes hungry.
Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats is partnering with Kohala Cares during this holiday Giving Season to raise funds to provide food and care to local families.
25% of all the funds raised by Kokolulu between now and December 31, 2020 will be donated to Kohala Cares to provide food for families in the Kohala area of Hawaii Island. Every Wednesday Kohala Cares distributes bags of food. They have been serving over 160 families each week since March.
We need you with us. Your gift before December 31, and your help to leverage the matching gift will make an immeasurable impact for all of the people who are affected by chronic illness who depend on Kokolulu and our community for food, well-being, security, peace, and resilience.
Mahalo for your support of this critical work.

Feed Your Gut for Optimal Immunity |

Karin Cooke, Co-Founder of Kokolulu, with over 40 years experience as an RN & Nutritionist
WHY FERMENT VEGGIES? ... During fermentation, live bacteria break down food components like sugar, making it easier for you to digest and absorb nutrients.
Fermentation can boost the nutritional value of food. It can produce a variety of B vitamins in foods that weren’t there before being fermented.
Fermented foods produce many active compounds that are essential to optimal health and allows for nutrients to be better absorbed and used by the body.
Fermented foods (ie kraut) are rich in probiotic (beneficial) bacteria so by consuming fermented foods you are adding beneficial bacteria and enzymes, increasing the health of your gut microbiome, digestive system and enhancing your immune system. 70% of immune cells are housed in our gut! If the good bugs in the gut outnumber the bad bugs, you’re less likely to develop many negative health conditions.

Liver Cleanse Qigong
Liver cleanse qigong can help rid your body of toxins and stimulate energy flow. It is one of the best natural ways of providing yourself with relief from anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, and cultivate inner peace.
When done on a daily basis it gently cleanses and nourishes your body!
Do liver cleanse qigong every day for two weeks for at least 15 minutes a day, then alternate with Tonification (3 Centers Merge/Tonification see video above ) for two weeks; then back to Liver Cleanse for two weeks and repeat as needed.
You can follow along on the video above and or join us on our live stream qigong practice on Zoom (Please see details below)

Standing Meditation 3 Centers Merge/Tonification Qigong:
Demonstrated from Kokolulu's temple in Hawi on the island of Hawaii (see link at the bottom of this message )
At Kokolulu we do 3 Centers Merge/Tonification qigong every day for two weeks for at least 30 minutes a day, then alternate with Liver Cleanse Qigong for two weeks (see separate video); then back to 3 centers merge for two weeks and repeat as needed. We also do 3 Centers Merge as a standing meditation by itself.
In this quiet state of standing meditation, the Qi will flow following its natural path.
The function of “Three Centers Merge” is to direct Qi harvested by LQUPQD into the inside of the body, internal organs, cells, etc. The “Three Centers Merge” is also an effective way to loosen the lower back and the entire spine. “Three Centers Merge” is the fundamental skill throughout the whole Zhineng Qigong path.
It helps in regulating qi throughout the body. It is important for relaxing the waist. It is a static form compared to the other Zhineng Qigong forms which are dynamic forms.
"Tonification is a therapeutic treatment that nourishes and replenishes the qi, blood, yin and yang of the human body when they are deficient or weak. It is applicable to one or several of the organs, or one of the qi, blood, yin and yang, or the weakness of all of them as a whole" courtesy of http://www.shen-nong.com
We practice 3 Centers Merge/Tonification streaming live via Zoom Mon.- Friday - see details below

Current hand - painted labyrinth at Kokolulu |
|
Labyrinth – Ancient path for modern footsteps
The labyrinth, defined as a single circuitous path that leads to a center (rather than a Maze in which one can become lost) has served humankind for thousands of years.
Labyrinths can be found and have been used in religious, secular, private and public settings. Within the last 30 years there has been a resurgence of interest in this physical tool for thoughtful and joyous contemplation.
We now wish to turn our hand drawn labyrinth into a more permanent form. We hope you will contribute to this effort. We have raised $10,190 of our goal: $12,690 (all we need is $2500 more - can you put us over the top please?) to create a permanent labyrinth set auspiciously within the landscape of our Retreat Center in Hawi, Hawaii.This labyrinth will be open to the community. Can You Help Please? Mahalo! ***Your donation is tax deductible.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (MHBOT) available at Kokolulu |
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a patient breathes a higher percentage of oxygen while the pressure of the treatment chamber is increased to greater than atmospheric pressure (one atmosphere absolute / one ATA).
Kokolulu Farm and Retreats offers the comfort of a soft-sided MHBOT, though users breathe concentrated oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula while in the chamber, reportedly a large improvement over using only ambient (room) air.

"It is a special gift to see individuals come together with the awareness they need to make a change in how they work towards healing, set the intention, then move forward towards better health and increased happiness,"Many of our guests have struggled immensely through medical treatments and it is deeply rewarding to see an individual discovering the joy and power of connecting with Spirit and universe through ZQ, while also learning about food as medicine"!
