HĀ Assessment Tools - Ka Pūnāwai

A pūnāwai is described as a fresh water spring, a place where water bubbles up from the ground and pools like a well. This is also a source of potable water that can be used to feed.

Much like a pūnāwai, HĀ bubbles up from within. It starts with personal reflection and a clear sense of what one's individual sense of HĀ is. This level of HĀ reflection elicits the personal meaning making process where individuals are able to explore an understanding of HĀ and how it appears in our lives. This level of HĀ reflection is also great for those who have a minimal understanding of HĀ as well as those who have had no previous implementation of HĀ and are exploring the possibilities for introducing it to a larger group.
