We ask the farmer about the monks. The monastery is abandoned he says, and for sale! Now the idea that we could take a centuries long tradition andgive it a modern twist to celebrate the arts, nature, health and spirit — that really gets our creative juices shaking. However, we’ve already had a couple bouts in
Paris with bureaucracy and gendarmes, so I agreed when Earnest says “let’s go to Hawaii and do it.” Exactly what, or even where, when and how, we would
“do”, we weren’t sure. But without any knowledge of Findhorn, or whatever other alternative communities then existed, we’d stumbled upon the idea to create aretreat center. As much as in times past, the anxious world was again screaming its need for places of refuge. We wanted to touch and heal people with some-
thing we had found deep within our selves and our experience. So we were drawn to one of the most beautiful and isolated coasts on the most remote islands inthe world.
Although he cannot be asked, because he, too, has become one with the soil of the land and the ash of the volcano, I am certain that Earnest Morgan
agreed with Mark Twain: No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly
haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surfbeat is in my ears; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping
cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud rack; I can feel the spirit of its woodland solitudes, I
can hear the plash of its brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.

He hiwahiwa ‘oe ma ka uluwehiWehibehi kou u’i ma ka poli o ke ali’i
Li’a nei ka mana’o e ‘ike i kou aloKou hula le’alea’a poina ‘ole
Here in the lushness of nature, you are the cherished one
Your beauty is an adornment for the bosom of the chiefs
My heart yearns to see you once again
Your dance of joy will always be remembered
Puana no ka mele o ka manu ‘O’o
‘Oli’oli no kou leo nahnaheMa ka nahele nalowale kou u’iE ola mau na makana aloha
So ends the song for the ‘O’o bird
Your sweet voice so full of joyYou are lost to us now in the quiet darkness of the forest
Your gifts of love are in our hearts forever
Composed and choreographed by our dear friend Mauliola Cook, this mele and hula are deep to the core of my being. They give form to the remem-
brance of the dance of life I shared with Earnest, and, thereafter with hula soul-mate and Kalani’s first General Manager, Delton Johnson. After Earnest’s in-
strument rained as ash fertilizing Kalani, plus Pele’s expanse into Kalapana and the sea, Delton and other Board Members Mark Kadota, Toni Thomson andPaul Rambo, all long-term loving friends, have continued to hold and help me with Kalani’s continuing rebirth. The arts keep blossoming here, the facilities use
and annual income keep growing, and the healing keeps happening.
Yogis, including Alaska’s Lynne Minton and California’s John Fliessbach, have built enduring relationships with us, bringing groups to Kalani forover fifteen years. Gifted authors, like Allen Cohen, Joyce and Barry Vissel, keep inspiring a fountain of love among their workshop participants. Nona, Keola,
Moana and Kaliko infuse Beamer Family soul into the hearts and slack-key strumming fingers, and hula hips, of all who gather here for their Hawaiian Music
Camps.
The healing, relaxing power of Kalani is furthered by the commitments of locals, including Hawaiian story teller Stephanie Kajiyama, lauhala weaverLinda Tua’, massage therapists/instructors Daniel Albers and Nancy Kahalewai, plus yoga instructors Kathy Elder, Inga Boyea, Alan McGrew and many more.
