My
adventures in Kauai began 19 years ago when I visited for four weeks
with my two young sons. Pablo was only eight months old and was in
my Kelty baby backpack most of the time, and Isaiah was three years old
walking by my side. We hiked part of the Kalalau trail on the
Napali coast and even visited a sacred ancient hula heau near the
entrance to the trail. I fell so in love with the garden Isle
and the magic it brought into my life that I returned for another two
weeks later and was a part of my uncle Clay's wedding to his beautiful
bride, Cece.

Last
year after Queen Emalani festival just a small group of us from our
Kaka'ako Honolulu halau that remained on the island visited that same
sacred hula heau. Our kumu hula Malia Helela led us up and into this
special place with an oli (chant) pule (prayer). We came to
this site to clean the area, experience its magnificence, and to
dance our aloha.
|
This
year when we returned to dance for the Queen Emalani festival, a few of
us came early to participate in what is called an uniki. This is a very
special ancient arts graduation celebration and ceremony. This
year, these five beautiful kumu hula from Japan (Leihipu'u) danced over
20 dances in a row on the sacred hula heiau while my kumu hula and her
son both kept rhythm with her pahu drum and the ipu (gourd). Both my
kumu and the dancers chanted oli and used a variety of tools. This
ritual ceremony actually began at midnight, then just before
sunrise, a Hiuwai (traditional hawaiian sunrise cleansing - holding
hands and immersing ourselves three times into the ocean together to
create a clean mind and spiritual space before hiking up to the
heiau) and did not end until after noon the next day when the sun
was at the exact zenith point (the highest place above the earth). It
was an incredible honor and privilege to be a witness and a part of this
uniki.
|
The same
day as the uniki for the leihipu'u (kumu hula dancers from Japan) was
the 15th anniversary of my beloved kumu hula Malia Helela. She
celebrated her uniki in that exact spot 15 years ago.
|
What a privilege to be with these kumu hula again this year!!
|
This
was my first year dancing for the Queen. Last year when I attended I
did not have the courage and experience with Kahiko to represent my kumu
and halau. I chose to be the humble and grateful servant or helper.
It was a beautiful experience and I loved every precious moment.
This year was even more special. It was a dream come true. A dream
that I didn't even dare to dream until I got a clear spiritual message
that it was part of my Kuleana (privilege, responsibility) and Kekahi
mau kuko (passion). Dancing with my halau on this special land for
the 29th annual Queen Emalani festival was magical and special to me
beyond words. Mahalo nui loa Kumu Malia Helela!!!

Searching for a New Home!
I'm in the process of preparing to move out of my shared Saint Louis
Heights home. I'm currently looking for the perfect place to
install my LIBBE and keep Alder Brooke Healing Arts alive to thrive on
Oahu. Do you know of a perfect place for my humble healing arts
practice? I just need a peaceful nook to invite you to.
I hope to find a place on Oahu soon. The house I'm in now will
soon be on the market for sale, so when it sells I will need to have a
place to move myself and my colon hydrotherapy practice. My
sincere hope is to keep the practice alive and available for all of you
lovely Hawaiian peeps, so that is where my pule is strong. Mahalo
for your support!!

Aloha friends,
I have exciting news about a new partnership that has officially formed
between myself and an amazing company who produces extremely high
quality superfoods and an incredibly beneficial gut repair product. As
many of you know, I have been passionate about the importance of healing
our micro biome (our 2nd brain) since 1995, and have worked with
thousands of clients with chronic hard to deal with gut issues. Many
have tried the no gluten, no fruit, no sugar, and heavy probiotic
regimes only to find temporary relief. I've found a solution that I
wholeheartedly believe will provide lasting relief for the gut issues so
many of us suffer from on a daily basis.
Purium,
which stands for Pure and Premium, has been around for 25 years and has
been making a massive positive impact in the natural health and foods
industry with their focus on sustainable agriculture, organic and
non-GMO, whole, raw food, green food, and live food. I've done the
research and can back this company with all my heart and integrity.
I'm personally on four products daily, my family is using them,
and many of my clients are already reporting how these products have
made a drastic difference in their health. I also support Purium because
of the care and concern they have for reducing their carbon footprint,
the processes they use to insure the highest quality of superfoods they
can possibly provide, and the use of renewable energy on their farms
(some solar and wind, woo!).

I am constantly
asked on a daily basis my recommendations on where to find effective,
honest, and integrous nutritional support. I typically send my friends,
family and clients to Evergreen nutrition, Red Barn, or Hummingbird
Wholesale, and here in Hawaii to Down to Earth and Kokua. I recommend
brands that I trust, but sadly, some companies that I once trusted have
sold out to major corporations and have compromised their quality for
profit. I will forever continue to support local mom and pop
stores that I love and support our community. Places like Red Barn,
Evergreen and Hummingbird Wholesale will always see my smiles and get my
referrals, and now, I will be recommending products from Purium as
well.
I am grateful after
all of my years of sourcing nutritional products, I have finally found
an easy way to access the highest quality grade superfoods on the
planet. These products are ordered online and drop shipped directly to
your door. This company uses a unique live dehydration technology that
preserves all the vital enzymes and keeps them in tact. Once constituted
with water and consumed, these vital enzymes saturate your cells to
support gut, immune system, and overall health.
These products are
affordable, convenient, tasty, and easy to consume. I recommend starting
with a 30 day 4-part system, which you don't have to alter your diet or
lifestyle too much. Although, I still suggest eating wholesome, local,
organic, seasonal and with an attitude of gratitude, rest and digest,
chew chew chew and take time to poo poo poo. That will always be my
intestinal integrity insurance. The food we eat and spend money on every
day is either poisoning us or healing us. If you are willing to invest
about $7 a day, you may achieve optimal health,
optimal weight, and repair the damage that has already been done
from environmental and food induced toxicity.
I recommend to start on the core 3 Daily products, your proteins, fruits
and vegetables, and Biome Medic. The synergy of these
four products deliver the phytonutrients to alkalize your PH,
put your body into an anabolic state, reduce inflammation, repair free
radical damage, and repair the micro biome. I truly believe this is the
foundation to create optimal health and a strong immune system.
For those of you
interested in giving Purium products a chance, you can easily order
directly online with no membership, no buying obligation and a 100%
money back guarantee if returned in 60 days. What’s even more exciting
is that I can provide a $50 discount on your first purchase and 15-25%
off any following purchases.

I will continue to
encourage people to use my two cleansing products seasonally (the Season
Cleanse and the Daily Cleanse), as well as Energize Organics Herbal
Synergy and doTERRA essential oils, in addition to Purium. The Purium
products provide ease in cleansing, rebuilding gut flora, and creating
an easy way to get the basic vegetable, fruit and proteins needed for
optimal health into the body. The gut repair product, Biome Medic, bonds
to and removes glyphosate from the body, which is a dreaded herbicide
that we just cannot seem to ban though it is known to cause cancer. This
gut repair also provides the perfect balance of probiotics and
prebiotics. No more fecal implants necessary. Can I get a hallelujah!?
HALLELUJAH!
Most of you already
know I am completely committed to endorsing product that support the
ecology of our planet, animal sanctity, health and well being of
humanity, and that provide extraordinarily high-quality, intentionally
sourced, nutrient-dense products that I personally use every single day.
That being said, I want to encourage you to visit the website and read
about the company mission and browse the wide selection of nutritional
products they have to offer: www.ishoppurium.com
I take the Power
Shake in the morning with the amino acids, the ApothaCherry at night
(because of it’s melatonin support), and I take the Biome Medic both
morning and night. It’s that simple and absolutely worth a try.
Purium has been on
my radar since I met a woman just one year ago at the Queen Emalani
Festival in Kauai. I had been introduced to it more than a dozen
time by others prior. When I met Skylar Mallas that was when I knew
I wanted to learn more.

I have since locked
arms with this amazing leader and friend and have brand partnered with
Purium. It's an honor to work with Skylar and others on our team
dedicated to personal growth and optimal
health. I am very happy to help you achieve your health goals and
customize a program that is perfect for your unique self. Please
contact me!
Love,

Please
join me in Eugene at Alder Brooke Healing Arts and experience
serenity in my garden sanctuary AND come see me in Honolulu at the
top of St. Louis Heights with the Diamond Head view, and let's ride some
healing waves! Until then, may all the Blessings Be! Aloha!

When checking out as a new customer you can enter my name with no spaces, TaraAlder,
in the "gift card/referral code" box, and you will immediately see $50
taken off your order total. If you order again in the future you
will automatically receive a 15-25% price reduction for being a
returning customer. Customers who return within 30 days of a prior
purchase get 25% off, and after 30 days from prior purchase 15% off. You
have absolutely no obligation to order again if you choose not too,
which is incredibly important to me personally and for my clients. I've
ordered from other companies who want me to join or agree to subscribe
every month unless I cancel my order. That situation never felt safe to
me because I didn't trust that I would remember to change my order or
cancel. Purium has done away with that risky buying B.S. and is in
line with keeping business clean, just like their products.

Core 3 Pack
Purium handcrafts a number of products, I recommend reading about the
Core 3 and the Biome Medic, as these are what I started with. The
Core 3 is three products: a Power Shake, the ApothaCherry, and the Amino
Acids. These three plus the Biome Medic deliver the veggies, fruits,
proteins and gut repair that I believe is the foundation to create
health. You can begin to build on this foundation by adding other
products that speak to you and your health goals to your daily regime.
|
Power Shake
Purium`s Power Shake was created so that you can easily consume several
energizing, gluten-free superfoods all at once - saving you time and
money. This product is full of pure, raw phytonutrients, it supports
healthy cholesterol and blood glucose levels, and may aid
digestion!

Super Amino 23
Super Amino 23 is pre-digested 100% vegetarian protein that has been
featured in the Physicianâs Desk Reference and is comprised of
specially fermented non-soy legumes. 99% of the amino acids get utilized
in 23 minutes or less, creating bigger muscles and more power for your
workouts. Super Amino 23 aids in normalizing protein synthesis,
assist with the stabilization or recovery of muscle strength, volume and
endurance, and helps minimize body fat

ApothoCherry
ApothoCherry, one of the Core 3, is made from sour/tart cherries
that contain a wide variety of unique antioxidants and phytochemicals.
This product contains melatonin, which may help balance circadian
rhythms for proper sleep, may support healthy joint function, and may
promote healthy uric acid metabolism. I really love this product already
and have been advocating for it from day 1!

Biome Medic
The ultimate support and repair system to reverse the damage done to the
microbiome. Biome Medic does three important things. One, it removes
the toxic chemicals in the microbiome that causes the damage to begin
with. Two, it supports the good bacteria to boosts your immunity. Three,
It helps rebuild the villi for better nutrient absorption and weight
loss. This will help create a vibrant microbiome and restore your body
to a natural state of health.

prebiotics and probiotics, removes 74% of Glyphosate from the gut,
