Sundays at New Thought Center of Hawaiʻi
Come for the inspiration. Stay for the community.
What if Sunday morning could be a place to awaken, connect, and be inspired—without having to fit yourself into a box? At New Thought Center of Hawaiʻi, Sundays bring together music, meditation, spiritual wisdom, personal stories, community connection, and the incredible diversity of teachers and facilitators who call Hawaiʻi home. You might hear a powerful story, discover a new spiritual practice, sing with your neighbors, share something from your own life, meet a local healer or teacher, or simply sit quietly and breathe. There’s room for wherever you are on your journey.
Our Gatherings Include:
✨ Meditation & Reflection: Create space for presence, inner listening, and possibility.
🎶 Live Music & Uplifting Songs: Music is an integral part of our Sunday experience, bringing us together in joy and connection.
🌺 Inspirational Presenters: Hear from a diverse community of local spiritual leaders, healers, teachers, artists, and changemakers sharing wisdom and practices for a more conscious and meaningful life.
💛 Sharing the Miracles & Ordinaries: We make space for the meaningful moments of everyday life: insights, challenges, celebrations, synchronicities, and the experiences that remind us we are part of something greater.
🌱 Resource Sharing: Our community often brings the abundance of Hawaiʻi to share, from fresh fruits and vegetables to plant starts and other offerings from their land.
📚 Spiritual Exploration: Browse and engage with our spiritual library and discover resources to support your ongoing journey.
🌺 Connection & Support: Meet people who are exploring their own paths of growth and awakening. Share your journey, find support, exchange resources, and build meaningful connections.
Closing in Song: We end our Sunday gathering by joining hands to sing a closing song, most often “Hawaiʻi Aloha,” a traditional song honoring the place we are fortunate to call home.

Legacy
With LT Smooth
Program & Music
Do you believe in legacy? What would your legacy look like?
Join well-known singer, songwriter, and musician LT Smooth this Sunday as he shares his thoughts and experience around “legacy.”
Virtuoso slack key guitarist Leon Toomata, better known by his stage name LT Smooth, has overcome many obstacles on his journey to the concert stage. Born and raised in Aotearoa, New Zealand he says, "My story is long, but here is a short version. I spent too many years of my life doing drugs and alcohol, and running from the law and the people that loved me the most. I’ve been 32 years sober now, and I would never change a thing. The music has been the change in my life. The lyrics I write and the music that I compose are about my journey and struggles. My music is the tool I use to help, encourage, heal, and to mend what we go through in life. Everything I teach comes from experience,” he continues. “Drugs, violence, stealing, all of it. I have lived it. And I learned how to come out on the other side.”
LT has released four albums, which have sold over a million copies combined, and he has performed with Bono, Mary J. Blige, and other well respected recording artists.
He is also an inspirational speaker. He recorded a video about ʻOhana (family) for Sales Force, a worldwide company based in San Francisco. LT has played and spoken at the World Economic Development Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, in front of many world leaders.
In Kona he has established the Hearo Foundation, https://www.hearofoundation.org a 501(c)3 non-profit, to help troubled youth through music. Inspired by LT’s desire to give back, the vision and mission of the foundation have expanded over time. What began as a musician’s personal dream has become a thriving space for artists, builders, and lifelong learners. And it is still growing! To learn more about the foundation, visitwww.hearofoundation.org Despite his many successes, LT is one of the most humble, gentle, kind and loving men you will ever meet.
