Divine Nature Alliance —inspiring growth, healing, and harmonious relationships.

Hawaii has a history of providing Pu'uhonua or places of refuge, which offered a safe sanctuary to ancient Hawaiians.

The Divine Nature Alliance aka DNA is a non-profit that, in conjunction with The Sacred Garden, provides a modern-day place of refuge offering education, rejuvenation and inspiration, cultivating and nurturing harmonious relationships between plants, animals, cultures, individuals and the earth.

DNA guides people to experience the power and serenity of nature as a doorway to access their own nature's power for creativity, wisdom, strength and the ability to heal and grow.

Divine Nature Alliance is dedicated to:

• Education—focused on horticulture, nature awareness, self-esteem, relationship skills, spiritual awakening, creativity and the experience of peace and beauty. DNA provides affordable (or free) workshops, and workshop space for visiting teachers. DNA Speakers are also available to attend your events and conferences to provide essential life skills training.

• Rejuvenation—offering access to a safe and beautiful place of retreat, respite, peace, serenity and tranquiltiy where one can be alone (or in groups) safely, in nature. DNA helps to keep The Sacred Garden open free daily as a place of retreat for the public and community groups. Special retreats are provided for caregivers, social service providers, teachers, nurses, parents, the military, etc, to offer a forum of self-care and nurturing designed to strengthen and fortify them to continue to do such powerful work. The two labyrinths housed at the garden are immeasurably helpful as wonderful tools for allowing people a self-discovery process and place to release stress. For many, the animals on the property provide an additional experience of love, acceptance and playfulness that aids in relaxation and stress release. The DNA also owns a portable canvas labyrinth that can be rented or brought to your school. conference, organization, or meeting at your own location.

• Inspiration— providing an environment that inspires people to access their own inner wisdom, stimulates creative ideas and instills a desire to take action in one's own life—whether that is to deepen thier spiritual life, grow a garden, do an art project or take steps toward more harmonious relationships with their loved ones.

When one gains access to the well of wisdom, compassion, strength and creativity within them,
they are well-equipped to live powerful lives.

The Divine Nature Alliance lights the way.
