Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hokule’a is proud to call this sacred land in the Pacific, her home. Her earliest memories are filled with being drawn to spirituality, exploring creative arts, and finding expression through movement. She studied ballet, contemporary jazz, and hip hop for fifteen years under the direction of Marcelo Pacleb. She currently teaches yoga at Power Yoga Hawaii and is a Display Coordinator for Anthropologie.

Secular and sacred. Formal words dividing reality into godly or ungodly, Christian or worldly. But is God’s creation so cleanly divided? God’s opening words during Creation, recorded in Genesis, state that everything He created is good.

In its intended state, it’s all good. Not to be naive or unrealistic, there are unredeemed and profane elements of our culture. However, God’s primary vocation is the business of redemption.

Finding Christian expression in a world where killing the enemy is the objective, teammates openly berate you more than the opposition, and all you have to show for it is a skill rank that no one but you cares about.
