About this Event
Join us for an evening of weaving and celebration as we create festive ornaments to honor both the Christmas season and the time of Lono. Through hands-on making and shared stories, we’ll reflect on the themes of abundance, peace, and renewal that connect these seasons. Come learn, create, and enjoy community as we weave our way into the spirit of the holidays.
Kumu Bio: Kekaiokalani Naone is a Native Hawaiian artist and cultural practitioner dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of the land and ancestors through lauhala weaving. Rooted in Hawaiian traditions, their work emphasizes the deep connection between people and place, using the art of weaving to honor history and inspire stewardship. Each creation serves as a reminder that the well-being of the natural world is inseparable from our collective prosperity.
