“The private flower blessing party we had for my bridesmaids was so special! We were not expecting to share from our hearts and connect so deeply during this activity. It was a time we will always remember. The hairclips we made were all so unique, it really celebrated every persons personality, and the offering at the end to the sea was a beautiful touch.”

“Let me tell you- this was the best experience that I could have possibly started my vacation here in Hawaii with! Gina really makes you feel connected to the island; I appreciated her going the extra mile to help us connect all of our senses with our surroundings before we started making the lei po'o. I loved the small group that we had- it definitely made the experience more special and meaningful. I truly felt free in the moment whilst making my lei, which is something that I haven't felt in a very long time. If you are coming to Honolulu, this lei making experience lets you experience a a small piece of Hawaiian culture- I could not recommend this more!!”

Such a beautiful experience!! From start to finish, Gina has a way of helping you connect with the island and the mana flowing throughout. Getting to create these leis was so much more of a spiritual experience than I was anticipating. Would highly recommend!!

Gina was a great teacher and friend. She shared with us a wealth of knowledge on Hawaii culture and led a very zen and relaxing lei making class. We all end up with a beautiful lei. And Gina is a great photographer too. It was such a great time. I’m very grateful for the new experience and meeting beautiful new friends.

Gina was a great instructor, very thoughtful and cheerful, and she told us beautiful stories about Hawaii as well. Lei Po’os we made turned out very pretty as well, and it made us feel special and precious!

I left my experience with Gina as my last and final way to wrap up my weekend and I’m glad I did. I came early therefore I was able to chat with her and learn about her life. She’s a fellow native New Yorker so we connected easily. She was really great in helping me and the three other women make our beautiful lei po’s.

During the workshop, we learned a lot about the different types of flowers and leaves Gina brought and different techniques to create the flower crowns. She also brought delicious pineapple and took lots of photos for us. Gina is an incredible human being and we look forward to seeing her again in the future! Thank you!

The flowers don’t last forever but the memories will.

“After doing all the typical tourist attractions in Hawaii (Pearl Harbor, over price shopping on Waikiki beach, Luah, etc) I really wanted a more meaningful, off the map type of something to do. This was right up my alley! What first attracted me to the crown making class was that it was organized by a licensed therapist, so I knew it was going to be a more in depth activity. Gina was perfect! We started out with a meditation that helped me feel connected to the sand and the water and disconnected from the chaos that can sometimes happen when you travel in on vacation with your family! The beach where we met was secluded, peaceful and so clean. Gina was able to give me a few detailed insights about the traditional Lei Po'o crown and every flower that I used in creating my crown symbolized either love, appreciation and respect. This was a really peaceful, creative and therapeutic project to do. Hawaii is already such a magical place aesthetically, so being able to connect with the island and its people on a deeper level was exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I signed up for this.”
