Our Philosophy: Inspiration is a reflection of the collective communities of Hawaii, the mainland and the world. It is a vehicle for holistic heal-
ers, for health, natural living, social and environmental professionals throughout Hawaii, to share their knowledge. We believe in cultivating an
understanding of the body, mind and spirit in an effort to encourage the exploration of inner peace, harmony and balance.
