The Art of Hula
Program Description
From June 27th to July 2nd, 2009, the Hawaiian EDventure team implemented an intensive Hula program led by Kiwala`o Taylor (Aloha Hula Arts partner) who thaught our EDventurers the necessary knowledge and techniques to Honor Pele, the goddess of volcanoes (see the video). The program was filled with hands-on activities (kupee making, preparing Ho`okupu …etc) and introduced different places of the Hawaii Island; the pilgrimage indeed ended up to the sacred Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This EDventure definitely shared some of the Hawaiian culture based on respect, well being, art and gaiety!
