These 4 mini workshops will introduce you to the basics of the treasured Hawaiian cultural practices surrounding Hawaii’s annual May Day is Lei Day.

Culminating in a celebration on May 1st, each workshop will introduce elements that make up the mindful creation and usage of the Hawaiian lei (garlands made of flowers, leaves and ferns): 

  • We use ʻŌlelo (Hawaiian language) to learn about the song E Kuʻu Sweet Lei Poina ʻole
  • We create 2 styles of lei; Hilo (twisted style) and Haku (braided style) using ribbons and fabric.
  • We learn Oli (traditional chant) invoked when creating and gifting lei 
  • We will dance a beloved hula that celebrates love that is woven into lei. 

Please note, we will be singing songs at the ʻŌlelo and Hula workshops. Students are welcome to bring their ʻukulele but it is not required. Handouts will include ʻukulele chords.

List of supplies for the lei workshop:

  • Ribbon : 3 colors (1.5 inches recommended, in various colors of green), 4 yard each 
  • Fabrics : 1 yard (to be cut into 1.5 inch strips in the class)

Kumu Hula Malia Helela

 

Mālia is an authentic Kumu Hula: a recognized hula teacher, officially having graduated after 17 years training from her teacher, Pulu’elo Park. Fluent in Hawaiian, Kumu Mālia frequently composes her own original oli (sacred chants).  Kumu Mālia has an affinity for teaching young children.  For the last decade she has developed lessons specific to infants, toddlers and preschool aged keiki. She also enjoys sharing classic hula and songs with the elderly. In keeping with her tradition, she is an observant and reverent student of nature and keeper of the land – the ‘aina.

Kumu Mālia Ko’i’ulaokawaolehua Helela strives to live a life of grace. Her halau, which meets at Still & Moving Center, is Na Hula Ola Aloha. Completing her uniki under Kumu Hula Puluelo Park in 2002, she now teaches hula and oli to a wide range of students, from infants and toddlers to kupuna. Mālia studied oli (traditional Hawaiian chant) under Kumu Hula Keola Lake. She continues to look to the beauty and grace of the Hawaiian environment for grounding and inspiration.
