Join the Hanai team for a special Earth day offering! In this guided workshop, we’ll explore the hidden environmental impact of our digital habits while gently clearing what’s no longer needed. Through simple practices, you’ll reduce digital clutter, lighten data buildup, and create more mindful ways of engaging with technology. Leave with a lighter digital footprint, a clear mind, and practical tools to support both personal and planetary well-being.

Space is limited, so please register in advance.

Last month, we partnered with and built a labyrinth at Hanai 🌀 We welcomed the opportunity to learn alongside master labyrinth builder Len Meserve, as our team and some amazing volunteers lovingly placed each stone.

The Labyrinth of Choice is a gift to the community and the land. It is intended to support stress reduction, self awareness, and foster connection with your self, with others, and with Nature.

Come experience it for yourself, and stop by during our open house.

We are so grateful to Len Meserve, Andréa Cobble, Patrick, and Owl for their incredible work.

As Hanai has grown, so has the curiosity about the woman whose heart and vision brought it into being. Kim Smythe has always been more comfortable listening than speaking, observing quietly from the edges. But life, and love, asked something more of her.

After moving to Bend from Hawaii in 1998 with her husband Tim and their three children, Kim found herself navigating profound change, loss, and a season that required deep reflection. Writing her book Letting Go Again became an unexpected turning point. In choosing honesty over self-protection, Kim discovered clarity, self-forgiveness, and the courage to share the parts of her story that had once felt too tender to name.

Those hard, honest conversations, ones that ask us to soften, open, and be seen, are the ones Kim now holds most dear. They are expansive, healing, and ultimately what inspired the creation of the Hanai Foundation. This evening is an opportunity to step into that spirit together: to listen, to ask, and to connect through the generosity and openness that continue to shape Hanai at its core.

This month at Hanai, you’ll find nourishing offerings to support your easeful reemergence as you integrate and awaken from a long winter’s rest, from dance and yoga to sound healing and breathwork, to creative workshops and ceremony, there is something for everyone. No experience is needed—simply come as you are and bring a friend too! Explore the class highlights in the slides, and don’t forget to visit our calendar for full details and registration.
