Amara taught Re-evaluation Co-counseling, a method of peer counseling, for over five years, and has been studying and practicing it since 1983.

She lives in an intentional permaculture community on the Big Island of Hawaii, called La'akea Community. Being at La'akea is the fulfillment of a lifelong commitment to community.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Amara Karuna
Everyone has within them the ability to heal themselves, and to help others heal. There will be enough healers in the world when everyone steps into this knowing. If we trade the healing as equals, the process is even more powerful, because this is our inherent nature.
The great purpose of the universe is for each of its uncountable manifested beings to find and express its own unique song of life in fullness. The One wants to sing through us all, and sing many many songs, and tell many many stories, infinitely. Those of us who are blessed to be finding our own song, our own truth, our own personal vibration and way of expressing, can best use that to rejoice and to serve others. The great purpose of the universe is behind you, supporting you, wanting you to sing your song well, in full beauty and power. Just do your best, and that is enough.
