In 2003, Rashani was offered stewardship of sixteen acres of exquisite land, 3 miles down the road from Earthsong. Auntie Mahealani Kuamo'o-Henry gave the land its name: Kipukamaluhiala'akea. (It is referred to as Kipukamaluhia for short.) The land is bordered by open pasture, a lava flow and thousands of acres of undeveloped forest. To the south one can see the ocean and to the north: Mauna Loa volcano. Kipukamaluhia is blessed with medicinal plants, many flowers and herbs, several different varieties of ti, and many native Hawaiian plants and trees, including koa, awa, kou, lauhala, kamani, maile, milo, pohinahina, koki'o ke'oke'o and a very old grove of kukui trees. There are also ancient monkey pod and coral trees; curry pepper, ylang ylang, plumeria, be still, noni, guava, papaya, wild plum, Hawaiian apricot, tamarind, bread fruit, coconuts, citrus, bananas, liliko'i, lychee, sapote, chermoya, and rambutan. Rashani and her students and friends have planted more than 3,000 trees and plants since June, 2003. KIPUKA: Variation or change of form, as an opening in a forest; an oasis or island, often vegetated, of older land surrounded by a more recent lava flow. MALUHIA: Peace, quiet, security, restful, serenity, awe and stillness that reigned during some of the ancient ceremonies; peaceful. To cause or give peace; protect. A place of worship. LA'AKEA: Sacred light. |
