The Hawaii Healing Garden

" Ethno-Botanical Festival and Healing Arts Fair "

Held September 3, 2006 at the Waimea Valley Audubon Center &

Botanical Garden, on Oahu's beautiful North Shore.

This ethno-botanical festival and healing arts fair celebrates

different cultures' uses of medicinal plants.

Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Ayurvedic, Samoan, traditional

Lau'lapa'au practitioners and ethno-botanists and gardening

enthousiasts and farmers will be on hand to share their knowledge of

the healing properties of plants through demonstrations, lectures,

displays, storytelling, and walking tours.

Waimea Valley Audubon Center staff will also conduct hands-on

educational workshops for children for $3.00 plus park admission.

The festival will also feature informational booths, lomilomi, reiki,

acupuncture and massage treatments, and vendors offering lei, garden

produce, and other health-related products.

Evening entertainment includes hula performance, Samoan Fire Dancing,

slack key guitar with Millicent Cummings and Hawaiian music by Jerry

Santos and Friends .

The event is free and open to the public. Regular Park admission

required for entrance and activities within the Waimea Valley Park

With the Office of Hawaiian Affairs' recent acquisition of title to

Waimea Valley, this event invites the public to share in a

celebration of Waimea Valley and the rich botanical treasures and

history to be enjoyed in this ancient ahupua'a.

The word " healing " in the title of the event invites the healing of

individuals as well as of Waimea Valley and encourages us to learn

more about the medicinal properties of plants used by many cultures

living in Hawaii.

The Hawaii Healing Garden is supported in part by Hawaii Health

Guide, the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Oahu County, and Waimea Valley

Audubon Center, and OHA (Office of Hawaiian Affairs).
