About Us

Why Honu?

  • The Honu (or Sea Turtle) has served as a guide to ancient seafarers.
  • In many cultures the Turtle is a symbol for the mothering qualities of the earth.
  • The Turtle is an ancient creature that is bound to its home (just like we are bound to earth).
  • The Turtle reminds us to take our time and follow the natural flow of life.
  • The Honu is a powerful 'Aumakua.
