“A awe o lehulehu lei ulana pū ia ho‘onui ikaika nui alaila ʻekahi awe ia lei.”
A strand of many lei woven together is more powerful than one strand of lei.

ʻRembering the Moʻo:
A Weekly Journey
By popular demand, classes will continue on Sundays starting August 2, 2026.
Sundays
4:00pm - 5:00pm
In Hawaiian culture, moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy) is far more than a list of names or a static family tree. The word itself holds profound meaning: moʻo (a succession, a story, or a lizard whose spine represents connected segments) and kūʻauhau (to recite lineage).
It represents a living bridge connecting the past, present, and future—anchoring your identity and defining your kuleana (responsibility) to your community and the land.
This course guides you through researching, structuring, and writing your own moʻokūʻauhau using traditional Hawaiian formats. Whether you have Native Hawaiian ancestry or simply want to format your own family lineage using this profound, place-based framework, this course will help you honor your roots.

E Kama'ilio Hawai'i Kākou
Let's Speak Hawaiian Together, A Weekly Course
By popular demand, this course will continue weekly starting August 6, 2026.
Thursdays
6:00pm - 7:00pm
This 8-week gathering is designed specifically for our kūpuna (elders) to reclaim, practice, and celebrate ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (the Hawaiian language). For many years, our people were systematically prevented from speaking our native tongue due to historical bans. Today, we gather with pride to speak a language that is legally recognized as an official language of our state.
We will move at a gentle pace, focus heavily on speaking and listening, laugh off mistakes, and honor our ancestors with every word we share.
