David Bruce Leonard is launching our first class in the Same Canoe series. This Saturday workshop on January 14th will introduce us to the medicinal plants all around us and teach us how to harvest and use them. Get bit by a bug? Scrape yourself while gardening? Learn to harvest plants that can help you self-heal. You will be surprised at how many ‘weeds’ we see everyday are actually healing plants, many used by Native Hawaiians. Move over Noni! – there are MANY helpful plants all around us, all of the time. Learning to see and understand them is a valuable, enriching skill. David is an expert herbalist with Chinese and Hawaiian training and brings a highly respected learning opportunity to us.
Mark Twain, master storyteller, spent time in the ‘Sandwich Islands’ in the 1860s, on assignment from the Sacramento Bee newspaper. His book ‘Roughing It’ includes chapters with his stories of the life he chronicled in Hawaii and illustrations such as the view of Kealakekua Bay to the left. The Napo’opo’o and Honaunau area are featured in several of his stories and we will be reading from those and enjoying his acerbic wit – and view of a time in Hawaii we can still see reminders of along our coast and trails.
Join us for this fun recollection of Twain’s Hawaii. Storytelling begins at 6:30; potluck at 5:30. All ages welcome.
To read Twain’s Hawaii stories online, and see the great period illustrations, visit the Full Circle Learning Network, a sister program of One Island.
