This is how Puna resets: Anawa Sunday Ritual Renewal (Mon, Mar 2, 3:30 PM)

📅March 1, 2026⏱️3 min read✍️Big Island Bulletin

Slow your breath, step into the Awapuhi Labyrinth, and let the bowls sing you into the new week. A keiki-friendly, donation-based ritual in HPP.

The Hook

Ever felt a singing bowl vibrate right through your chest while the trade winds do the rest? That’s the vibe in the Awapuhi Labyrinth—warm late-afternoon light, ginger on the breeze, and neighbors settling into stillness together.

Join Anawa Sunday Ritual Renewal for a gentle reset that actually sticks. Yes, this one lands on a Monday—perfect timing to set your intention before the week carries you away.

What to Expect

Picture this: palms shushing softly, a circle of ʻohana gathering for a group blessing, and bare feet finding the labyrinth path. You’ll walk slow, step by mindful step, while hand drums and bowls thread a low, golden hum through the air.

There’s a shared moment to speak from the heart—short, honest, no pressure. Keiki wander close, the ʻapapane chime in from the ironwoods, and you’ll head home with a small blessing to carry through the days ahead. It’s simple, beautiful, and deeply Puna.

If you love the quiet pulse of drums, this one brushes the soul—think the softest kind of live music events you feel more than hear.

The People

The Anawa Center for Peace—local stewards with big aloha—holds this weekly ritual to celebrate the art of inner peace. The crew shows up early to set the space, lay the path, and tune the bowls so you can just arrive and soften. It’s community-powered, donation-based, and made with care for every age and background.

Insider Tips

  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early to ground before the blessing.
  • Bring water, a light shawl or sarong, and something comfy to sit on for the share.
  • Bug spray helps at this hour; barefoot in the labyrinth feels amazing.
  • Parking is along 4th Street—be respectful of neighbors and driveways; carpool with your ʻohana if you can.
  • Sensitive ears? Sit a little mauka-side of the bowls for a softer sound wash.

Why We Love It

Because it’s not a spectacle—it’s a practice. The labyrinth walk slows the mind, the drums steady the heart, and the bowls leave that sweet hum in your bones. We walked out lighter, smiled at strangers, and the whole week felt… easier.
