Waimaka Lehua was born from my own search for healing, self-discovery, and remembering. I grew up as a military kid on the continent, away from my Hawaiian family, with little exposure to our culture. Yet Hawaiʻi has always called me home. Over the last decade, I’ve spent countless hours in nature, listening, learning, and returning to myself.

Through aloha ʻāina and the guidance of Mahina, I began creating tools to help me live more presently — syncing with the moon and practicing kilo (observation) both outwardly with the natural world and inwardly with my own rhythms. These planners and journals were first made for me, and now they are shared for others walking their own journeys of reconnection.

In Hawaiʻi, time was once kept by Kaulana Mahina, the Hawaiian lunar calendar. The rising and setting of the moon guided when to plant, fish, rest, and gather. Life moved in rhythm with the natural world — efficient, connected, and abundant.

Waimaka Lehua was created to bring those rhythms into modern life. Each book weaves cultural inspiration, kilo, and guided reflection into everyday use — a tool for decolonizing time, restoring balance, and reconnecting to the cycles that sustained our kūpuna.

Designed in Hawaiʻi and shared with aloha, Waimaka Lehua is more than stationery. It is an invitation to return to ourselves, to our culture, and to our ʻāina.
