Lauhala Anthurium Workshop at Mahaholokai Cabin
Sunday January 26, 3-6:30pm
Lauhala Love and Pālehua Conservation Initiative will host an ulana workshop for lau hala anthuriums at Pālehua’s newly restored cabin Mahaholokai. Ulana, meaning to weave together, is a cultural practice of stories, generations and skilled craftsmanship woven into staple items like canoe sails and sleeping mats. Lau hala, as pandanus leaves, is gathered, cleaned, de-thorned, rolled and softened, stripped into varying sizes, sometimes dyed, all before it can be fashioned into functional and decorative items.
High on the southern ridge of the Waiʻanae mountains, this collaboration hopes to bring each guest a sense of clarity, wonder, and to spark a passion for ulana lau hala.
The 3-hour workshop includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain, and two hours of instruction. Guests can look forward to refreshments and time to enjoy Mahaholokai Cabin. No weaving experience necessary. Just come with an open mind, aloha in your heart, and readied hands for learning and weaving.

Naomi Nascimento of Lauhala Love is a Native Hawaiian, born and raised in Honolulu. She is a student of weaver, Mariko Kobayashi, and overflows with joy when speaking about her kumu. Naomi strives to perpetuate the traditional practice of ulana lau hala, the values instilled within the discipline, and her passion for weaving various projects from pāpale (hat), peahi (fans) to jewelry.
Mahaholokai is a rustic cabin located near to Ossipoff Cabin with views of the Wai’anae Mountain Range all the way to the ocean. With a covered lanai and outdoor space, it has functioned as a home base and retreat for many folks and organizations for decades, and PCI is excited to carry on the tradition.
Proceeds from tours benefit Pālehua Conservation Initiative, a new non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to advance education and stewardship efforts that protect, promote, and restore the natural, cultural and community resources of the southern Wai‘anae mountains.
