The Sixth Gathering will radiate the wisdom of our kupuna (elders) and the aloha of the land and the Indigenous people of ka pae ‘aina Hawai‘i.

The Healing Our Spirit Movement

The Healing Our Spirit Worldwide movement began as one person’s vision to create an international forum and movement focused on the alcohol and drug abuse issues and programs in Indigenous communities throughout the global community.

With the Second Gathering (1994) in Sydney, Australia and the Third (1998) in Rotorua, Aotearoa (New Zealand), HOSW established itself as the international cultural and spiritual movement celebrating the tenacity and resilience of Indigenous peoples around the world in the struggle against alcohol and drug abuse.
