Explore your creativity and try your hand at lei-making in the wili-style with Hawaiian artist Lehua Hauani'o! Lehua is a well-known cultural specialist who has been sharing her familial artistry and expertise in indigenous foliage and lei techniques with the Hawai'i community for over a decade. Learn best practices for gathering and preparing foliage and make your own lei wili to take home or to gift to a special someone during Merrie Monarch week! This hands-on experience invites you to slow down, connect with your materials, and honor the beauty and meaning of lei as a symbol of aloha, celebration, and connection. Participants will be provided with all necessary lei materials and get the option to choose the length of their lei while at the workshop (either kupe'e - great for wristband/anklet, or lei po'o - a lei fit for your head).
