Oli Class

Experience the basic learning of chanting by presenting our hā (breath) in unison. Then we'll move to our Waikīkī beach across the street where Hawai'i's last monarch, Queen Lili'uokalani, would have swam, surfed, and reflected upon from her retreat home. As the sea recedes to the shore and bathes our wāwae (feet), the oli practice will be offered to the Moana (ocean) and to Le'ahi (Diamond Head). An essential moment of Ola – health – for all as one begins the new day. A keepsake digital photo with your camera may be taken to remember this moment always. This event is every Wednesday from 6:00am - 6:30am at the Pu'uwai Heritage Center.
