My Nonprofit Reviews

I found Karin and Lew (Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats) from my daughter, who they generously helped during her quest for ways to find support for her debilitating arthritic situation.
My daughter is fully enjoying her life now, she has continued her study of Qigong and she teaches the Qigong she learned with Karin and Lew. For the first year or so of attending my daughter's Qigong practices at home, I would just lay down. I could not do the practice at all, even though it looks easy.
The first time I participated in the Qigong sessions offered for free by Kokolulu, over zoom, I cried throughout the session. (I am sure I had the video off for this!) I kept going to the free zoom sessions and the Qigong kept opening me up, slowly and surely, and now, a few years later, after many many sessions with Lew via zoom, and also sessions with my daughter, I am actually doing Qigong on my own!!!!! This is a miracle, as is how good I feel in general! I am more flexible and I feel more energized and healthy!
I am profoundly grateful for Karin and Lew and all the LOVE that they give so generously. They even helped when I called and asked for special protection and healing for someone in need.
I wish Kokolulu all the support in the world for their work! I look forward to supporting Kokolulu more in the future, as my funds allow!
THANK YOU Karin and LEW!

My daughter and I volunteered with Mayan Families in the summer of 2013. Day after day we'd find our way to our carefully created service positions amidst many dozens of other volunteers and staff who all interacted in a delicately choreographed yet powerful improvisational dance. I absolutely loved the sense of well organized community and genuine heart-centered warmth. Amidst the sometimes accelerated chaos and dire need of the beloved population of Mayan families, the organization, Mayan Families, generated practical services for people of all ages in soulful ways that were sourced by community members. The services I saw rendered were mostly facilitated by local people, who worked in the kitchen, the pre-schools, the many offices and the grounds. Some people, like myself (a psychotherapist), came in from the exterior to help with medical and other professional needs.
