Restoring Paradise: Mālama 'Āina at Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary
Join me as I celebrate the Winter Solstice by participating in a meaningful Mālama 'Āina cleanup event at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary in Hawaii.🌿
This rare and breathtaking cloud forest stands as a shining example of Hawaiian reforestation and ecological restoration. Together with an incredible group of volunteers, I worked to remove invasive Kahili Ginger, making room for native and canopy-forming trees to thrive.
The Winter Solstice is a time of reflection, renewal, and reconnection with nature-perfectly aligning with the themes of this event. Drew McWhirter, grandson of the sanctuary’s founder, shared insights about the spiritual significance of this day, reminding us of the cycles of light and renewal that mirror nature's rhythms.
This experience is also a precursor to an exciting project I’m working on: an 8-part series exploring the importance of protecting the Amazon Rainforest and rainforests worldwide. Stay tuned for this inspiring series, where we’ll dive deeper into the global impact of reforestation efforts.
If you’re interested in the spiritual significance of the Winter Solstice, don’t miss my latest video: Exploring the Winter Solstice: Spiritual Significance and Rituals --- ua-cam.com/video/THmMjW_oxT8/v-deo.html. Discover how this seasonal turning point connects us to nature and offers a moment for mindfulness and gratitude.
Let’s work together to care for our planet-one tree, one forest, one action at a time. 💚

Launching EcoWellness Journeys: Human & Planet Health Intertwined
Enjoyed your personal reflections about your Nana and father drinking coffee. And nice to know Jasmine tea is so good for us.
Thank you, Lisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed those personal reflections-they mean a lot to me. That was also the year my Nana helped me make a genealogy project for school. And yes, jasmine tea is remarkable! I discovered its benefits for headaches through a little experiment of my own. I often got headaches, but I noticed that drinking jasmine green tea instead of plain green tea made a big difference. I tested it out-tried jasmine green tea without honey (still worked), plain green tea with honey (didn’t work), and jasmine green tea with honey (still worked). Then, I did some research and discovered that jasmine has properties that help balance mood and relieve headaches. It was such a fun discovery, and it’s been my go-to ever since! Have you ever tried it?
Being present in the moment and mindfulness-yes I can see where slowing down and focusing on the moment can lead to more enjoyment and making special memories.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lisa! You're right-slowing down and being present can make a difference, especially during the busy holiday season. Those small, mindful moments often turn into cherished memories. I wish you many joyful and mindful moments ahead!
Thanks for the reminder about portion control during the season. Because enjoyment comes mostly from feelings of love 💕 and not guilt.
You're welcome, Lisa! I'm glad that message resonated with you. Portion control and mindful eating are valuable practices during the holidays-this approach allows us to genuinely savor every bite and enjoy the special flavors of the season without guilt. It's all about tuning into our body’s needs and appreciating the love and effort that goes into each dish. Wishing you a holiday season filled with joy, balance, and delicious moments! 💕
Beautiful video! ❤
Thank you so much, @susananderson! 💚 I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. Knowing you have your own mindful morning routines makes your feedback even more special! I hope this video adds some extra inspiration to your peaceful mornings. Your support means the world to me! 😊🌿
First Comment First on Easter Egg😊
Congrats on finding the first 'Easter Egg'! 😊 Thanks for being the first to comment - hope you enjoy the peaceful vibes! 🌿✨
Mahalo!!
Thank YOU for being an integral part of the EcoWellness Journeys community! I appreciate you!
Perfectly explained and what a great reminder to not judge how well we do this on a day to day basis. Practice... :)
Thank you for your kind words! 😊 I'm so glad the video resonated with you. You're right. An essential goal is to embrace your mindfulness journey without judgment and in the ways that are most meaningful to you. Although we may be on this journey together, we're all unique. We can provide acceptance, support, encouragement, and guidance for each other, creating a safe, nurturing place for growth. But remember, providing these things to create a safe, growth-empowering space for ourselves is just as important. Be patient with yourself and practice mindfulness with self-acceptance, kindness, and love! 🌿

Amazing video Heather! The scenery in Hawaii is breathtaking!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 😊 It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and the beauty of Hawaii. 🌺 I’ve been thrilled with the positive feedback on the videography, and it inspires me to keep capturing these breathtaking locations. I’m already looking forward to using some new equipment for future on-location shoots, and I can’t wait to share even more immersive adventures with you! 💫
Heather Murata Aloha, your presentation is engaging and flawless and Albert’s videography superb. Your Hawaiian 🌺 surroundings are breathtaking. I’m excited to be part of this important and life sustaining journey and look forward to connecting with you and the planet 🌎. Thanks for inviting me and I’ll gladly share with my family and friends.
Aloha, Lisa! 🌺 Thank you so much for your kind words-I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and felt connected to the journey! Albert is such a treasure, isn’t he? He played a HUGE role behind the scenes: part chauffeur, part roadie, part tech guru (he’s a pro at setting up the microphone and tripod 😉), and always my biggest source of moral support. I’m incredibly grateful for all his help! 💖 For this special launch, I took on the challenge of shooting the footage (minus the clips where you see me, of course!) and pieced it all together using tools like Audacity and Canva. Not every video will be shot on location, and I might not always be on camera, but you can count on more eco-adventures being woven into future episodes! 🌿🌍 I can’t wait to share more with you and everyone! Thank you for being a part of this journey and for spreading the love! 💫😊
Awesomeness!!!!!!!
Thank you so much, Brenda! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden with me and Albert. It was such a peaceful experience! 🥬Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing another video in The Mindful Path series, and next Thursday, it’s all about Wellness Wisdom-I can't wait to share those insights with you. And there's more! The first Eco-Spirituality video is coming the week after, followed by Sustainability Spotlight. So many exciting things to come-stay tuned for more tips, adventures, and inspiration! 🌺🌴
