Morning Session

Presentation Title & Summary:

Hoʻopono — Hoʻōla (Part 3)

*It is highly recommended that you would have attended or viewed the video links from Friday March 4th's "Part 1" to continue with all follow-up workshop sessions in April. Yet, this session is now open to all. Mahalo to our practitioners for this accommodation. The Video link for the March 4th session "Part 1" will be posted here as soon as it is available, please try to view ahead of workshop presentations.

Last month, participants were able to learn about the ʻĀina Aloha mural installation and collaboration project between visual artist and author – Meleanna Meyer with Dr. Martina Kamaka from the Department of Native Hawaiian Health at the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa, John A. Burns School of Medicine. Many who attended Friday’s presentation joined the additional workshop on Saturday where they were able to reflect upon and experience the murals and its impact on their own lives by engaging in an extended arting and writing project led by Meleanna.

We’d like to invite you to return to our virtual workshop sessions on Friday – April 1st and/or Saturday – April 2nd to take a deeper dive into the practice of healing through art with Meleanna and Dr. Martina!

Come explore your family stories from the past, as well as those that are being created today. What stories have you learned about during this time of COVID-19? Which stories made you angry or sad? Which ones are memorable to you?

“…go ahead, be present, and believe you are part of this connectivity of healing. Releasing pain, in any form, through forgiveness, we move forward as a people. Empathy and compassion keep us connected through time and place, we are always together, and can heal, if we try together.” Meleanna Meyer.

*This presentation will not be recorded at presenters’ request.

Morning Session

Practice: Moʻolelo (Oral Traditions of Hawaiʻi)

Presentation Title & Summary:

Moʻolelo - Our Treasured Resources (Part 2)

*This workshop is a continuation of Friday March 4th's session.

Let's talk story....join Kumu Earl Kawaʻa as he strengthens our understanding of the essential role Moʻolelo played in our past, present and the future as a Lāhui (Hawaiian people).

This session will be a "talk story" experience where participants are encouraged to share moʻolelo or stories they have collected, as assigned by Kumu Kawaʻa Friday March 4th.

Bring a story that you have recently learned or discovered from your own ʻohana (family), kaiāulu (community) or ʻāina (land or surrounding areas that sustain you). Here is your chance to get out and talk to someone older than you. Ask them questions about the good old days. Let's all take time to ask, stop and listen. We must collect, carry and pass on the traditions of the past for our future generations. Moʻolelo that you collect may be from the living (either relatives or just friends) and/or from written texts. Catch the fire... let's all listen and learn. It is our kuleana to collect and share the moʻolelo of our ancestors together. Let's Talk Story!
