Introduction to Aquaponics - 3:00-4:30 PM
Aquaponics, combining agriculture and aquaculture, is a great way to grow lettuce and leafy vegetables, and other vegetables, quickly. Combining fish culture and hydroponic growing in an integrated ecosystem, the fish provide nutrients for your vegetables, which in turn filter the water that the fish live in, a mutually beneficial
arrangement. Includes a video presentation and short lecture.
Sponsored by Olomana Gardens, a production and demonstration, certified organic market garden including organic, biointensively-produced vegetables, and selected fruits, herbs and ornamental plants; exotic chickens, geese, turkeys and ducks, naturally-raised eggs (no antibiotics, no hormones); and a private, old-style, Hawaiian garden.

Traditions of Hawaiian Healing - 10:00-3:00
Kumu Alva James Andrews is a native of Hawai’i, a father, grandfather, and Viet Nam veteran. Andrews is also a gifted spiritual and physical healer. His form of lomi lomi incorporates ho'oponopono (mental cleansing in preparation for long term results) This class goes further into the spiritual aspects of health. Open to all. Of interest to health practitioners, cultural practitioners, massage therapists. Alva's form of lomilomi, or Hawaiian massage, incorporates the use of ho’oponopono, along with the traditional hand and body applications. Kumu believes that there is a connection between the spirit, the mind, and the physical body. Thus, the function of a good lomilomi practitioner is to harmonize the various parts of a person’s being, in order to make them permanently healthy and balanced. There is a spiritual, mental and emotional dimension that must be factored into the Holistic approach that Kumu uses. For him, then, lokahi, or unity, is what is needed to effect permanent good health. Kumu firmly believes, as his ancestors did, that the body cannot be healed until the spirit is healed. This is the key to what Kumu teaches and practices.
Cost: $100 RSVP: (808) 397-1253 (808) 721-8342 or (808) 388-5850 - Please bring a lunch.
