About the instructor:
Aloha,
My name is Gina Kananipua, I am a trained Marriage & Family Therapist, founder of Eco Mindful Lei and my belief is that Lei making is not a frivolous activity…it’s medicine. Lei Po’o utilizes all of your senses therefore it’s a form of mindful stress reduction. I live in beautiful Oahu, Hawai’i where I am an active steward of the ‘Āina (land), Sustainability Educator, and student in Halau Kahiwahiwa. My creative practices are rooted in environmental, social and economic sustainability. My teachings are simple traditional acts of play & creativity are both healing in our modern lives. ‘Āina/Earth based play enriches the mind, body, soul. It’s play therapy crossed with nature therapy. I love to empower others to create & mālama (care for) our community, our earth, and this place we call home.
