APEC 2011 Hawaii — Laulani Teale — Nov. 11 — By Brian Tseng
Laulani Teale is almost done camping near the Honolulu Zoo. She feels that she and the others there have fulfilled their mission of educating people on Kanawai Mamalahoe and they now just need to complete the ceremony.
Tonight, they are hoping that there won’t be any trouble from Honolulu Police patrol officers as they plan on moving closer to the ocean.
“All the pilikia that we have encountered needs to be cleansed out, not only from ourselves and our ceremonial objects, but also from the greater society and system that we are interfacing with.”
“We encountered a great deal of negativity in this healing process that we are in. As healers, we need to cleanse that negativity, so we are planning to move toward the ocean, to be closer to the sea and eventually allow the ocean to take that negativity away as we dismantle what we’ve done in a formal manner.”
