It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.

• Would you like to spend quality time with your mother/daughter?
  
• Is your relationship filled with misunderstanding?
• Are you ready to accept each other?
  

Imagine basking in the warm sun, exploring the magnificent beauty of the Big Island and sharing this experience with your mother/daughter. Many women long to have had or to have a deep and meaningful relationship with the woman who gave her birth. Most mothers yearn to understand and accept her daughter(s) for the life she has chosen. Give yourself the gift of some special time alone with one another and take home the memories that will live with you forever.

Our Story

My mother and I have woven a multi-colored tapestry. At times it is very beautiful and filled with intimate moments and the utmost respect for one another. Other times, we have not spoken to each other and have felt very sorely about the other person. I realized my relationship with my mother was a continual journey of surrendering and awakening which led me to know I had more healing to do with her. The need to break the Holy Mother image became very strong. This image creates the illusion that my mother was perfect, and did not have any faults. I knew in my heart that was not true but somewhere the image was much bigger than that. I found this illusion to be my biggest thorn that had kept me from having a deeper relationship. I needed to surrender to the truth, and take my mother off of the pedestal and hope to see each other as equals. Once this process began, it opened many new doorways of possibilities and shed a new light on our relationship. The more I let go of what my relationship with my mother is supposed to be, the more I receive what it is. My mother and I have followed different spiritual paths. I needed to deepen my connection to the earth and sought out native traditions. My mother continued her practice with the Catholic Church. When we come together at special times during the year, we have been able to honor our different spiritual path by sharing in each other's ceremonies.

Today, my mother and I continue with our ceremonial work. My soul searching has allowed me the realization to know the importance of rekindling this primary relationship not only for myself, but for the world at large. These experiences have contributed to my journey of awakening. And each time I shed light on my own unresolved issues, I see my outer reflections and relationships change.
