What is Kākou?

Kā.kou • pronoun, We; spoken of more than two including the speaker and the persons addressed

For the Kākou Collective ‘ohana, “its a Kākou Thing” is a sentiment similar to: its a team effort or we do all things together. This is the mindset we like to have in all aspects of what we do, embodying mindfulness, and the concept that our actions impact everyone - even those who are not directly present or around us.
