Semesterboende i Kauai

We meet at my house and I explain the instruments (drums) we're going to play. We start with simple beats and practice as long as everybody gets it. No worries if you never have been drumming before in your life. I also explain what the drums stand for in the community and how they were used in ancient hawaii. After one hour of drumming, everybody goes outside and we start practicing the firedancing. The boys with the samoan fireknife and the girls with the mauri poiballs. We practice without fire for a while and who ever wants to light it on fire, is very welcome to try it (no worries I'll help you). You can take nice pictures and videos while performing with fire. Other things to note And again, if you are beginners, never drum or played with fire in your entire life, don't worry, in my class are all levels of drummer and firedancer from 5 years to 70 years old!

A unique outdoor yoga experience on the beautiful Princeville Makai Golf course that begins with a short walk to our practice space boasting some of the most exquisite views on the North Shore of Kauai. On a bluff nestled above Queen's bath overlooking Hideaway's beach, with the majestic ridges of the Hanalei & Haena mountains revealing their details in the shifting morning light, we practice a mellow yoga flow catered specifically to the group. Morning birds and ocean waves are the soundtrack to our practice supporting a calm state of mind and a deeper sense of presence. Clouds shape shift against bright blue sky, rainbows materialize, whales breach, albatross’ nest and hatch and fledge, the breeze cools us while the sun vitalizes, and occasionally a light Hawaiian rain offers a refreshing blessing. (It truly is as magical as it sounds!) Class concludes with an invitation to have (yoga) photos taken to playfully capture the beauty of the moment, within you and around you. The experience wraps with a return to where we started, more centered and awake than when we began! Please note- * Class is designed to be accessible to all body types and levels of experience. Beginners & advanced practitioners alike are welcome. Class is uniquely crafted to meet the needs of the students. * Due to COVID 19 safety precautions yoga mats are no longer provided. Bring a large towel.

We're looking forward to sharing with you our favorite piece of beach paradise on the island that is easy to overlook if you're on the typical tourist trail :) We'll start by start hiking down the cliff trail, through a lush forest to a beautiful coastline along coral reefs, where you'll catch the most epic glimpses of this beautiful paradise spot. (As a forewarning, please know this cliff is steep, and requires intermediate hiking skills.) Once we arrive to the beach, we'll share with you some interesting facts on cacao and its healing benefits, and you'll get to try your very own ceremonial cacao elixir. Next, time to jump into the beautiful water! We'll do a Hawaiian cleansing ritual, then Carlos or Pat will guide you through a short mindful snorkeling experience, where you will learn to develop a relationship with the ocean and its wildlife. You'll also have some free time to swim, explore, shell hunt and snap some photos along the way. Refreshed, connected, and feeling blissful from the cacao, we'll begin our journey back!

We meet at Makaleha mountain and hike to gather some water from the fresh water spring. We hike another 10minutes to harvest bamboo. I have been making bambooflutes for 20 years so I know exactly what we can use (age, size, color). Every person can pick their own to make an instrument. I explain what is important to know about cutting bamboo. I also explain all the native plants around us - which you can eat or use for healing. I do “La’au Lapaau” which is Hawaiian medicine. I survived 2 years out in the jungle with that knowledge - eating off the land. The hiking part is over and we drive back tomy house, where everybody is making their own noseflute or other instrument. They drill and burn the holes and I help them to find sound. For a snack we serve fresh Kalo (Taro), Sweet Potatoes (Ualaa), Avocados or coconut candy. Opening coconuts, Drumming and weaving optional, if we have some time left and if the guests are interested in doing that. Other things to note It's a short hike on a muddy trail. We also have to cross a river. The hike is not longer than 30min all in all and also kids can do it.
