Set Your Intentions
Set Your Intentions
How do you prepare to meet each new day? Do you have a morning practice that leaves you feeling grounded and connected to yourself, others and the place where you live? Our kūpuna developed many different protocols to open and close important events in their daily lives. These protocols connected people to their place, nourished relationships and strengthened the foundation of Hawaiian culture and identity. We invite you to learn about one morning protocol that is being practiced by many staff and students at Kamehameha Schools.

There are many ways to prepare oneself mentally and spiritually to meet each day; Morning Gatherings are just one way to bring people together to acknowledge the land and its people, set intentions, share personal thoughts or inspiration and lift the energy through song!
Feel free to try any of the components shared in our videos to create your own morning practice at home or in your workplace.
Video 1: Morning Gathering Explanation of Practice
In this video, Nani Dudoit and her work colleagues will share how Morning Gatherings are conducted at Kamehameha Schools, as well as explain each component of this type of protocol.
In times when people cannot be together physically, morning gatherings can be done virtually as a way of keeping people connected and feeling supported.

As you peruse the following resources, we ask you to keep in mind that the protocol shared here is just one way to engage in a morning practice. In Hawaiʻi protocols, practices and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) terms can vary depending on the kumu, the island or even the district where they come from. We also keep in mind that culture is never stagnant and continually evolves to meet the times in which it lives. What remains constant is the aloha and positive intention with which these practices are shared.

This mele or song was composed by Haunani Apoliona. It is a mele written to remind us all that we must "Work Together" with sincerity, humility and with righteousness in our hearts and minds in all things we do. Collectively, with the guidance of our kūpuna or ancestors, we can and will accomplish all our goals with aloha filled action. E Alu Like Mai Kākou!
