Join this three-hour workshop and learn about Papakū Makawalu, the dynamic Hawaiian world view of the physical, intellectual and spiritual foundations from which life cycles emerge.
Papakū Makawalu is the ability of our kūpuna to categorize and organize our natural world and all systems of existence within the universe. Papakū Makawalu is the foundation to understanding, knowing, acknowledging, becoming involved with, but most importantly, becoming the experts of the systems of this natural world.
Participants will gain an understanding of the three houses of knowledge that categorize and organize the natural world and the combination of the three houses of knowledge known as Papakū Makawalu.
