Get your hands dirty! Learn and share new gardening skills in a fun collaborative setting by participating in projects that mālama the ʻāina (care for, honor and serve the land) within the community gardens and agricultural grounds of our center. Come prepared for engaging with the outdoor elements with good shoes and sun protection, and learn about the abundant plant life in our thriving tropical lowland forest environment.

We come together to “Talk Story”, to share our life experience, share on Relationships, and what we’re working on or releasing. Prompt: “What do you want to experience?” Format modeled after the ancient Native practice of Council. “Way of Council” a book and practice taught by Jack Zimmerman, originally gifted through our Elder Grandpa Wallace BlackElk. We set an Altar in the middle (each bringing one item if you wish), and we will have an opening intention stated. We hold the Talking Stick when we share, and pass it in Sun Direction to the next soul (No cross talk or responding). 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month.

Holistic Movement is a multidimensional embodiment practice developed by Olha Amanita after a lifetime of exploration in dance, energy, and sacred geometry. Drawing from ancient Egyptian movement technologies, this method helps rewire the nervous system, shift internal patterns, and awaken new pathways for expression, awareness, and vitality. Each session invites participants to break free from habitual patterns—physically, mentally, and energetically—while reconnecting with the deeper intelligence of the body. By merging movement with breath, ritual, and presence, Holistic Movement becomes a portal for healing, creativity, and personal transformation.

As with all his artistic endeavors, including painting, building surfboards and woodworking, Roy Ruiz has been weaving lauhala as a means to connect to Puna and its indigenous culture. Under the tutelage of Kumu Lynda Saffery, he has been practicing this Polynesian craft for almost 20 years and was encouraged to take on the role of being an alaka’i (guide) to future weavers. In this class, students will learn Hawaiian protocol (chanting), gathering and preparation of materials, weaving terminology in ʻŌlelo Hawai’i and a beginner’s project of an apo lima (bracelet or arm band).

This 60 minute seated and standing yoga flow class connects movement and breath through gentle sequences connected with breath.
