Pohakupuna Beach Club
on the beautiful island of O’ahu, Hawaii
Aloha
We are honored to invite you to participate in a unique opportunity to receive the wisdom of the sacred dharma from an authentic Tibetan master on the beautiful and sacred lands of Hawaii, in an outdoor venue right on the beach. Spend intimate time with a realized and recognized meditation master and receive teachings not widely available to the public. All while reconnecting with nature - walking barefoot on the grounding soft earth, dipping in the healing saltwater ocean, dancing in the cool island breeze, and sitting and receiving the warmth of the Hawaiian sun. We look forward to sharing a little piece of the ‘aina and the dharma with you.
With a warm mahalo,
The Aloha Dharma Crew
