Flight School for the Soul
Flight School for the Soul is an invitation to step onto the platform of your own becoming. Written by Maui zip line tour guide Willow Lisowski, this poetic guidebook draws from the wild beauty of the jungle and the quiet bravery it takes to leap into the unknown.
Blending metaphor, nervous system wisdom, and soulful reflection, each chapter mirrors a step in the zip line journey — from gearing up and standing at the edge, to trusting the in-between and landing with grace. Whether you're navigating life transitions, seeking deeper self-trust, or simply longing to remember your own strength, this book is a companion for the courageous and the curious.
Let this be your harness, your breath, your invitation to fly.
ʻŌhiʻa Lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha)
First to grow on lava. Last to let go.
She is the red bloom that rises from ash.
The fierce blossom that meets fire with beauty.
ʻŌhiʻa is the first tree to take root on hardened lava—
a pioneer of resilience,
a Lover of the impossible.
Her Lehua blossoms are legend.
Born of heartbreak.
Carried by wind.
Offered in Love.
To see Her is to witness endurance in bloom.
She reminds us:
What looks like ruin may become sacred ground.
What scorches may one day blossom.
And even grief can grow petals.
