Meditative Coloring
2017-05-06 13:00 - 16:00 | Kealakekua Public Library, 81-6300 Mamalahoa Hwy, Kealakekua, HI, 96750, United States
Can you remember the sense of peace and enjoyment you felt while coloring as a child? Can coloring help you relax?
From choosing colors to the gentle, repetitive motion of your hands as you bring color to paper, coloring can be seen as a form of “active meditation”. Oftentimes, when you think of meditation, you think of sitting still for a long period of time. With active meditation, it is just the opposite: repetitive motions such as coloring can help strengthen your focus and easily shift your attention back to a relaxed state. Stressful thoughts and future worries can be simply pushed aside as you take time to enjoy the present. Join us the first Saturday of every month for this mellow, relaxing event.
Program schedule is subject to change. Program is suitable for ages 16 and older. All materials will be supplied. Feel free to bring your favorite pencils, pens, or pastels. To arrange a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation, please call the hosting library as soon as possible: 323-7585.

Wildfire Preparedness in the Koai‘a Tree Sanctuary
2017-05-06 08:00 - 12:00
May is Wildfire Preparedness Month! Join The Kohala Center’s Kohala Watershed Partnership crew on Community Wildfire Preparedness Day (Saturday, May 6) from 8 a.m. to noon as we remove fountain grass and lantana in the Koai‘a Tree Sanctuary on Kohala Mountain. Both of these non-native weeds increase the risk of wildfires and impede the growth of native vegetation that is essential to capturing and retaining moisture. Hundreds of volunteers have helped us plant thousands of native trees over the years, so let’s protect these precious plants by reducing the risk of wildfires this summer!
This volunteer day is organized in partnership with the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, which is offering prizes for the best photos and stories from Wildfire Preparedness Month! You could win Kaleo the Pueo t-shirts and hats, WaveWing hydrofoil surfing fins, Starbucks gift bags (each with 1 lb. coffee and tumbler), Smokey gear from Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and more. Simply post your photos or stories on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtag #WildfireReadyHI or email them to admin@hawaiiwildfire.org by June 1.
