Wednesday, July 9th – from HPR2, it’s The Conversation
Maybe you’ve heard the saying: nice people don't look into other people's pockets. But the fact is, we do.

Claire Blahnik is very specific about the way she wants to make art; her medium is oil on canvas. Her home, and her source of inspiration, is Maui. From the beginning of her studies, her goal has been able to use that medium to tell the story of her home. She’ll be giving live demonstrations of her technique for the next couple of weekends in Makawao at the Maui Hands Gallery, and she joined us by phone this morning from her Valley Isle studio.

Mind, body, and spirit come together in martial arts, the best of which are ways of living that go far beyond combat. Aikido is a twentieth-century synthesis of accumulated martial arts wisdom that has taken hold especially strongly on Maui, where Maui Ki Aikido has a 60-year history, and has created a tradition of its own. Tracy Reasoner is teaching an evening introductory ki-aikido class in Wailuku, and he joined us today by phone to tell us more.
