Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners will lead a statewide, one-day vigil on Friday, Sept. 1, to aid the emotional and spiritual healing of those on Maui who suffered devastating loss from wildfires that swept through Lahaina and other areas of the island. “There’s an urgent need for prayer, cleansing, and reflection so that together, we can help Maui and Hawai‘i heal,” Holt-Padilla said. “This vigil will help to create a space for grief and healing and the opportunity for Hawai‘i to be united.”

All Hawaii residents — as well as people around the world — are invited to join in the Friday vigil, “Kipuni Aloha no Maui,” meaning “embrace beloved Maui,” during the ceremonies to be led by spiritual leaders at sunrise, noon and sunset.
