Today on Behind the Bloom – I have a Treat- I had a once in a lifetime experience – to “Talk Story” with Kimo Keaulana- Kimo brought his priceless Lei collection to the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute- (translation: Where Heaven meets the Earth) – to share with us. Kimo is truly, a Hawaiian Treasure and graciously invited us to the honored place to share the story of lei- and inform us about the Culture of Lei.
In this Very Special Behind the Bloom- Kimo and I “talk story” (Kimo tells us- that “talk story” is ‘chit chat’ in Hawaii) – Kimo’s knowledge about Lei- and these examples he share- are treasure in his personal collection. I can’t wait to you to learn more about Shell Lei, Fire Flower Lei- and Feather Lei- with Kimo on location at Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute on Oahu! Please enjoy Kimo and his incredible teachings and talent. Kimo is a wonderful friend- and true Hawaiian Treasure!
