Our collaborative efforts over the past months have paid off in a first time experience for us: 'livestreaming.' Starting tomorrow, Friday, September 25, 2015 Pete and I are excited to host two remote HUBS (places where a computer, and internet connection download live media) where dozens of Pacific Peoples share their involvement with the Moon, and her calendar.
I have been challenged with health issues this summer, and as I've described here on the blog, there have been adjustments. But in the true definition and kaona (many meanings) of the word ho'omoku
an island grows slowly. He puko'a kani 'aina.
Here is the email we circulated to the members of our South Whidbey Tilth community.
Mokihana Calizar and Pete Little are excited to share a unique learning experience with our South Whidbey Tilth Community. The 'Aimalama Pacific People's Lunar Conference on Climate Change takes place in Honolulu, September 25-27, 2015. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of many, South Whidbey Tilth is a remote hub site allowing us to participate via the internet.
The major panels and speakers are scheduled on Friday, September 25th, half of the day on Saturday, September 26th, and then most the day Sunday, September 27th. We will set up internet 'livestreaming' in the pavilion of the Laughing Cat Café, beginning 12:30 P.M. Friday September 25, 2015. The schedule for the Lunar Conference runs from 12:30 P.M. until 8:00 P.M.
The pavilion set up for this 'livestream' will be strictly FRAGRANCE FREE. To accommodate those who arrive less than Fragrance free, we will have a computer and screen set up in the classroom space (in the building behind the Laughing Cat Café).
Depending upon the number of people who attend, we will keep the pavilion and classroom set up on Saturday, but will not be setup on in the pavilion on Sunday when the Farmers' Market is happening. The classroom will probably be available for those wishing to view the last day's activities.
This is a very casual set up. We will have beverages (hot water, coffee) in the Laughing Cat. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own brown bag lunches, snacks or pot luck. Come and go as you wish; check out the schedule* for areas of most importance to you.
A sign-in sheet and feedback from all attendees will be our way of connecting with the groups and individuals who incorporate the practices of the Hawaiian Lunar Calendar in planting, fishing, birthing, healing, sailing and other day to day living.
It is through this exchange of first hand experiences that empowerment at a meaningful level can impact our relationship with Mother Earth. Climate changing means we must adapt the way we relate to Nature. We have a chance to learn from others across the Pacific. How fortunate we are.
*The specific schedule and list of presenters is available by clicking here. (These times are listed in Hawaiian Time Zone. We are three hours ahead of them in WA.)
Mokihana will present a short welcome and introduction to the conference at Noon September 25th. There is no charge for the conference. Donations to the "Enclose the Pavilion in Winter Project" will be welcome.

I'll post a summary of the experience after we've had it. Let's hear it for collaborations and a healthy dose of faith and grace!
Mahalo all for your kokua,
