Event summary: Over the weekend of June 18 - 20 master teacher Kumu Hula Raylene Ha'alelea Kawaia'ea will be visiting from the Big Island of Hawai’i to offer a series of workshops in hula and an ancient Hawaiian healing practice called Ho’oponopono. This is Kumu Raylene’s 2nd visit to the Rogue Valley.Hula is the traditional dance of Hawai‘i. Passed down through generations, it has been practiced since early Polynesians arrived in the islands many years ago. Hula dances embody the poetic lyrics of the mele or songs to preserve the culture and values of the Hawaiian people. Hula dances retell legends and history, describe the forces of nature, honor ancestors and convey love for cherished relations. Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian spiritual healing practice of forgiveness and self-responsibility that can be used as a personal spiritual path and powerful process to heal relationships. Kumu Raylene’s hula workshops are open to women, men and youth age 12 or older. Participants in the hula workshops should have some previous hula experience and knowledge of basic steps. The ho'oponopono workshop is open to adults only. Pre-registration is encouraged as space may be limited.Kumu Hula Raylene Ha‘alelea Kawaiae‘a has been sharing her understanding of her heritage, traditions and cultural practices since 1976. Establishing her own halau hula in 1981 in California, she returned home to Hawai'i in 1993 and began teaching Hawaiian culture in the public and private schools, as well as establishing another halau hula in North Kohala. Living in Hawi on the island of Hawai'i, she works for the Queen Lili‘uokalani Children's Center for the benefit of Hawaiian orphaned and destitute children and their families. A practitioner and Haku Ho‘oponopono for many years, she continues to share the process of this Hawaiian spiritual healing practice. She has served as the Kohala Civic Club President from 1996-2000 and is the Founder and President of Na Huapala 'O Hawai'i, a non-profit organization that is the funding arm for the Malama Kukui Cultural Leaning Center. In 2007 Kumu Raylene was one of 10 Native Hawaiians invited to a private audience with the Dalai Lama in Maui. She has five children that she has hanau (given birth to), 2 that she has hanai (adopted), 10 mo‘opuna (grandchildren), and many more that she has come to love.These workshops are being sponsored by Ashland’s Ka Pi'o O Ke Ānuenue, a hula hui, or group, whose mission is to explore through hula what unites us in a universal vision and expression of aloha. Ka Pi'o O Ke Ānuenue offers hula classes for women, men, and children with an appreciation for the cultural values of Hawai’i.For information or to register contact Stephanie Houston, 541-973-6267 or email yearinfrance@gmail.com.
