SUMMARY:Learning Tree - The TODAY Testament
DESCRIPTION:God is still speaking… Are you listening?\n“The Old Testament\, the New Testament\, the TODAY Testament”\n\nJoin us for this Learning Tree session as church member Nani Elm shares her testimony of faith\, healing\, and hope as she has navigated her personal journey to wellness and continues to do so.\n\nNani was born and raised on O‘ahu and Central Union Church has been her family’s church for five generations.  She is a mother of four children\, and can sometimes be seen dancing hula during our church services. \nFor 27 years\, she had a career in the world of performing arts (performing professionally and teaching).  In 2020 she experienced a health crisis and was completely bedridden for many months\, and then continued to be home bound for months after that. As she started to get better\, it spurred a desire to use her experience to help others.  She went back to school (online) and obtained certifications from HCI (Health Coach Institute) in nutrition coaching\, life coaching\, health coaching\, and empowered well-being coaching.  She became board certified with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) as a holistic health practitioner. She is also Board certified with the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC). \nDuring the time she was completely bed-ridden\, she begged God to bring something good out of “the awfulness”. She did not want her suffering to be for nothing. She also prayed that God would allow her to help others. \nBecause of her own personal journey to health and wellness\, she knows first hand what it is like to completely change habits\, ways of thinking\, and implement major lifestyle changes and maintain those positive changes.  She knows the challenges\, the difficulties\, and struggles\, but also knows the rewards and benefits of creating a positive\, healthy lifestyle that leads to wellness that includes Physical\, Mental\, Emotional\, and Spiritual well-being. Now\, she wants to share her testimony and what she has done to come this far.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Gaza in International Context
DESCRIPTION:Educating ourselves is one way we are called to faithfully respond to the Resolution of Witness affirmed at the HCUCC ‘Aha Pae‘āina in 2024\, ‘A Call to Education and Action Regarding the Crisis in Gaza.’ \nThis presentation will situate the Israeli genocide\, funded by the U.S.\, in Gaza that started in October 2023 in relation to the history of Zionism starting in the late 1800s\, and in the context of Israel’s practices of settler colonialism\, apartheid\, ethnic cleansing\, and military occupation\, ongoing since its establishment in 1948. Presenters will discuss Gaza in the context of global politics to shed light on U.S. interests not only in West Asia\, but also in terms of the rivalry between the U.S. on one hand and China and Russia on the other.  The presentation will conclude with attention both to Hawai‘i and Palestine as interconnected sites of settler colonialism and occupation\, and also to solidarities between Kānaka Maoli and Palestinians who are engaged in liberation struggles. \n\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS: \nCynthia Franklin is a professor of English at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. She has visited Palestine several times since 2013\, including to work on a special issue of Biography journal\, coedited with Ibrahim Aoude and Morgan Cooper\, on “Life in Occupied Palestine” (2014)\, and to teach at Al-Quds University in 2018. Her most recent book is Narrating Humanity: Life Writing and Movement Politics from Palestine to Mauna Kea (2023). She founded the group now known as Students and Faculty for Justice in Palestine in 2014\, and that same year co-founded the Hawai’i chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. \nIbrahim G. Aoudé is Professor Emeritus of Ethnic Studies at the University of Hawai‘i-Mānoa and the Editor of Arab Studies Quarterly\, an international journal about the Arabs and their culture. His research and publications are in the areas of global geo-politics\, the political economy of Hawai‘i\, and the politics of West Asia and North Africa. \nRSVP encouraged: bit.ly/gazacontext

SUMMARY:Learning Tree: Empathic Listening
DESCRIPTION:“When I Listen\, People Speak and Come Alive: Empathic Listening”\nWhen you ask someone how they are and they say\, “I’ve had a terrible day/week\,” or “Not so good\,” or even\, “Ok\, I guess\,” any response which indicates they are less than wonderful\, do you know what to do to be of most help to them? \nThe most helpful way to respond to others when they are experiencing distress is not by giving advice\, consoling\, questioning\, sympathizing\, (our common notions of “helping”)\, but rather through empathic listening—meeting them where they are! \nEmpathic listening\, which goes counter to what is commonly understood as help\, is a way of being with someone when they are experiencing upset whether it’s about something recent or long lived. The process of empathic listening was discovered 80 years ago by psychologist Carl Rogers and is learnable and doable by virtually everyone! \nIn this forum you’ll learn the process of empathic listening\, making you a better listener and therefore a better friend! \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nAllan Rohlfs has practiced listening as a psychotherapist and taught it widely for five decades\, including for 30 years to seminary students at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. He wrote the book When I Listen People Speak and Come Alive: Empathic Listening\, which will soon be published. \n~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ \nLearning Tree is a forum in which we gather (typically on the second and fourth Sunday each month) to listen\, learn\, and engage with a topic that will help to grow our knowledge and faith. We may hear from our Ministers\, church members\, or speakers from the wider community. These are free learning opportunities open to all. If you have ideas for speakers/topics that might be of interest to our CUC ‘ohana\, you may contact Pastor Rushan (rushan-sinnaduray@centralunionchurch.org). \nThere will be NO Learning Tree on November 10.
