A global celebration highlighting the importance of listening and protecting quiet places as sources of health & well-being. Listen with fresh ears!
This slow and intentional walk to explore quiet, the art of listening, and our relationship to the natural world is part of a global initiative led by Quiet Parks International and the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Our trail, the Nānākuli Lookout at Camp Pālehua, has been nominated one of the world's Quiet Places by Hawaiʻi's first and most experienced certified forest therapy guide, Phyllis Look of Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi. Your small group will move through a eucalyptus forest to a spectacular lookout, invited along the way to notice what is present in the moment.
You'll be joining thousands of others in all kinds of spaces around the world who'll be slowing down this weekend to discover the hidden music of their environment. Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi offers this special inaugural event for a voluntary donation to Camp Pālehua to further its efforts to reforest their land with a native Hawaiian forest.

Meet the Artists Reception: Sunday, September 6, 1-3pm

Pastel Artists of Hawaii (PAH) invites everyone to view a FREE exhibit highlighting recent works by members of various skill levels.

PAH is a Hawaii-wide group of artists who produce works using at least 80% soft, sometimes known as dry, pastels. Used for hundreds of years by the likes of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-August Renoir, soft pastels are nothing more than pigment (or color) held in a stick form by a minimum amount of binder, allowing the artists many ways of applying and manipulating the color.

Scenes from Hawaii tend to feature prominently in PAH paintings, but you can also see portraits, still life, and even a few abstracts. Come see some views of the islands and more through the loving eyes of these local artists.
