What does it mean to live in alignment – with self, with others, and with the Earth?

How might restoring harmony within become the path to restoring peace on our planet?

In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits down with Kumu Ramsay Taum, a respected Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) teacher, cultural practitioner, and visionary leader whose life work bridges ancient wisdom with modern systems. Together, they explore how Hawaiian ancestral wisdom offers a roadmap for personal and collective healing, and how Hawai‘i itself can serve as a model for a peaceful and regenerative world.

About Our Guest

Kumu Ramsay stands as a bridge between worlds – an Indigenous wisdom keeper rooted in ancestral knowing, yet fully engaged within the infrastructures of modernity. His work does not seek to escape the systems of extraction and imbalance, but to meet them, reweave them, and offer a path forward grounded in Aloha, accountability, and alignment. 

In spaces where metrics have too long replaced meaning, Kumu Ramsay calls for a deeper reckoning: not merely accounting, but radical accountability; not just reference, but reverence; not only return on investment, but a return on intellect, intention, and integrity. His voice is both ancient and emergent, advocating for economic and ecological systems that reflect the sacred interdependence of all life. 

Through a lens of peace, sustainability, and relational wisdom, Kumu Ramsay helps communities remember who they are, where they stand, and how to move in harmony with both land and law, spirit and structure.

What We Explore in This Episode

In this powerful conversation, Kumu Ramsay and Aubrey explore the inner technologies of alignment and harmony, Ho’oponopono, and how ancient Hawaiian wisdom holds keys for navigating today’s fragmented world.

Key Takeaways

• • Ho‘oponopono as inner technology – the practice of restoring right relationship within, before attempting to heal what’s outside of us.
  • Living Pono – understanding alignment as a dynamic, moment-by-moment attunement to what is proper and balanced in each circumstance.
  • Mana as life force – accessing, rather than accumulating, the universal energy available to all living beings.
  • Hawai‘i as the world’s spiritual navel – envisioning the islands as a global center for peace, reconciliation, and ecological renewal.
  • Navigating multiple realities – reimagining time, destiny, and choice through the Hawaiian lens of cyclical and multidimensional awareness.

Whether you are walking the path of reconciliation, exploring your relationship with the Earth, or seeking a deeper sense of purpose, this conversation will invite you to slow down, listen, and remember your place in the great web of life.

With Love & Gratitude,
Aubrey Morgan Yee
