COME ON IN, THE DOOR IS OPEN

It’s that time of year — the world turns again and change is in the air. Invitations to gather around the table to toast the year are abundant and welcomed, and in between we pause for restful evenings at home by candlelight. The Hina Luna shop is officially open for the season — lovingly curated with favorite things to delight and comfort your quiet days and gathering occasions ahead.

THE HOLIDAY SHOP IS OPEN —

A thoughtfully curated collection of Hina Luna’s most favorite things for inviting warmth and simple pleasure to the coming seasons. Every item has been intentionally chosen for its balance of purpose & beauty (& deliciousness), gifting potential & coziness factor.

CRAFT YOUR LIFE INTO A LIVING ALTAR —

Hina Luna is an invitation to a softer and slower pace of life with the intention of experiencing more joy and simple pleasure. Through evolving creative expressions, Hina Luna finds beauty in connected living through the lens of everyday rituals, kitchen table culture and ancestral veneration.

THE HEART & HANDS OF HINA LUNA —

I’m Haley — an artist, writer, simple pleasure seeker and space beautifier making home and tending life on Hawai’i Island. My natural state of being is when I’m creating spaces that inspire a softer, slower way of living, in connection to ourselves, to the threads of our tapestry of ancestors, and in awareness of the beauty and pleasures that exist all around us. Everything you’ll find here is intended to support your journey to living a more connected and beautiful life. I hope something here lights the match in your heart.

LOVE LETTERS TO LIFE —

In 2024, I am answering a personal call to commit to my writing practice. If you’ve been an inspired reader of the Hina Luna Journal or newsletters of the past, you will likely savor what I’m sharing in my Substack publication Tending Altars. It’s more personal and intimate than anything I’ve shared publicly before. In short, Tending Altars is now home to my writings and is growing into a collection of thoughtful musings on the things that connect us. Subscribe below to receive these heartfelt letters right to your inbox every Sunday and visit Tending Altars on Substack to read through the archives.

LETTERS ON SLOW LIVING

Living in connection with the cycles of the seasons and in connection to the natural world activates the superpower of deep listening. By slowing down and tuning in to what’s happening around us, we are offered opportunities to better care for bodies, our homes and our communities while experiencing more simple pleasures. 

LETTERS ON ANCESTRAL CONNECTION

Developing a connection to one’s ancestry can provide a guiding light in life, a beacon of belonging and sense of place. The ancestors can be our own family lineage, the greater web of nature, or our connection to the constellation of the beyond. Knowing where we’ve been can support us on our journey to where we’re going.

LETTERS ON CREATIVITY

We are all creative beings. Whether wielding a paintbrush, organizing your dream travel itinerary, setting the table or setting a mood, these are all examples of the creative soul at work. On a quest for more pleasure in life, Hina Luna explores the ways we can tend to our creative fires and flow in the currents of what inspires us.
