In this episode of The Light Inside, we extol the profound significance of the word ‘kahu’ within Hawaiian culture and its relevance to our modern lives.

Kahu, a term that transcends its literal meaning, represents the roles of guardian, caretaker, and honored attendant, embodying a sacred duty to honor and nurture all that exists.

As your host, Jeffrey Besecker, I invite you to consider the concept of being a Kahu in your own life. Imagine being entrusted with the care of something cherished, guiding and supporting others through life’s challenges, and recognizing our interconnectedness within the fabric of humanity.

We are each kahu, walking the other home.
