Mits Aoki Legacy Foundation

Aloha Friends,

In remembrance of Reverend Mitsuo Aoki’s 100th birthday, you are invited to attend a special dinner event on December 11, 2014. This celebration will offer an opportunity to share how Reverend Aoki’s teachings and life influenced each of us with his light, love, and wisdom.

Guest registration will start at 5:30 p.m., with dinner to follow at 6:00 p.m., at Natsunoya Tea House, 1935 Makanani Drive, 808-595-4488 (http://www.natsunoyahawaii.com).

We are limited by the room size, so please respond as soon as possible.

The cost of the dinner is $35 per person (non-tax deductible), with advanced payment made to the Mits Aoki Legacy Foundation. You can just send a check to the Foundation or you may buy tickets here. We will need payment by November 29th unless we arranged otherwise.

During the evening, the Mits Aoki Legacy Foundation will be introduced. The Foundation is a continuation of The Foundation for Holistic Healing, founded by Reverend Aoki in 1983.

The Foundation endeavors to:

  • teach and promote a holistic approach in the areas of health, healing, death and dying to individuals, groups, organizations and institutions teach persons to accept responsibility for their health and mobilize their own health capacities
  • assist cancer patients and others to make wise use of a variety of healing and health promoting practices
  • provide a warm and supportive environment for individuals undergoing the dying process and their families
  • further the awareness within persons of their relationship to God and to their neighbors

Separate, tax-deductible charitable contributions to the Foundation will help build Reverend Aoki’s legacy by sharing his teachings through archiving; publishing and distributing his written works and audio-visual recordings; and further development of this website.

Looking forward to sharing the evening with you, family, and friends,

Alan F. Gamble
President

Mits Aoki

Mits Aoki was a theologian, minister, college professor and founder of the University of Hawaii''s Department of Religion. For over four decades the Rev. Dr. Aoki has shown others how to experience death not merely as an end, but as a vital, inseparable part of life. This film explores his personal journey and the stories of four courageous individuals who faced the challenge of "living their dying".

Mitsuo Aoki brought spirituality and forgiveness into caregiving for those going through the transition of death. His approach is one of 'conscious dying' that leads to fuller living. He helped found the hospice movement in Hawaii and has influenced profoundly the lives of thousands of clients, their families as well as his many students.
