E komo mai! This course introduces our village to lā‘au lapa‘au, the traditional Hawaiian practice of healing with plants. We'll learn the cultural protocols, identify healing plants growing right here on Kaua‘i, and practice safe, respectful ways to care for our ‘ohana using this ancestral knowledge. This is not a replacement for medical care, but a way to reconnect with the wisdom of our kūpuna and the ‘āina that surrounds us.
Aloha and welcome! This course was built for Anini residents and visiting guests who want to explore our shallow reef flat and tide pools safely and respectfully. You'll learn the rhythms of the tide, how to snorkel without harming coral, how to identify the fish and invertebrates you'll meet, and how to help kokua (care for) this reef so it thrives for generations.
