Hana Nai'a Aromatherapy Hawai'i, Giving Back to the Community We Love
Makahiki, is a Hawaiian tradition observing a four-month span reserved for the celebration of the new year, peace, and thanks. The tasks of day-to-day life, war, and certain kapu (laws) were suspended to allow Hawaiians to celebrate the harvest and honor Lono, the god of peace, agriculture, and fertility. Makahiki marked the beginning of the winter season with cool and rainy weather and Hawaiians used this time to give thanks for the year's harvest and engage in sport, hula, feasting, and rest. This was a joyous time for all.
