Voyage To Wellness In Hilo: 

Relationships Between Hula, Star Lines And Traditional Hawaiian Healing : 10:00 am - 11:30 am

You are invited to join us on April 2, 2008 at the Imiloa Planetarium in Hilo, Hawai’i. We will be offering our presentation in the morning around 10:00 am. This presentation helps us to understand the deeper, cultural connections between traditional language, Hawaiian navigation, voyaging, canoes and the healing arts of lomilomi and la’au lapa’au. These healing arts are a part of the traditional arts of survival. Lomilomi is a form of care that is used to keep the body strong and flexible through manual medicine. La’au lapa’au provides the herbal component of traditional medicine. Hula will also be an integral part of the presentation on movement and breath. Nutritional insights will also be shared as an essential element of survival, voyaging, and cultural ways of life.

Japanese Language Introduction to Hawaiian Healing Arts: 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

The connections between hula, voyaging and healing arts will be offered with cultural interpretations in Hawaiian, English, Japanese.
