8 Symposium Themes The branding of the Symposium has been “LotuMoui, Mind, Body, Spirit”.‘Lotu’ means Church or Prayer in most Pacific languages, while ‘Moui’ is a Tongan and Niuean phrase which means good health that encompasses mind, body and soul. The words ‘mind, body, spirit’ relate to a holistic and all inclusive approach to health, which does not separate the emotional, physical, mental or spiritual aspects of wellness.
