“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.”

“The location was beautiful! Everything I envisioned when planning my trip to Hawaii!I felt grounded after mediation and spending time in nature with flowers. It was cool to drink out of a pineapple...different experience and yummy! my niece loved the lei po’o I made her. I didn’t realize I could be so crafty! It felt like second nature😀”
“I had such a lovely experience in the workshop with our teacher,Gina! She was very friendly, calm and cheerful! She never let me put under the pressure so I had certainly time to make the Lei which I wanted to make. It was really fun and I was excited!!(: She provided delicious homemade juice! Also after made it, she took photos of me as many as I want! I highly recommend the activity to make your travelling more special and to get a new experience in Hawaii!”
