If the skies above Whidbey are clear this weekend of our first Konane On Whidbey date, we will be blessed with the full lumination of the Taurus Full Moon (by most calendars on Monday, October 29, 2012). The Hawaiian Moon Calendar recognizes Four Full Moons beginning with the Hua phase.
It's a fertile time for making commitments to the things you value, deeply. We're very excited to be hosting this first Konane on Whidbey celebration. Whidbey Moku and in particular the 'aina (land-resources)of South Whidbey has shored up our lives in small and grand ways during the past three years. Pete and I look forward to meeting, playing and enjoying the people of this place.
Just a few thoughts before we meet in The Common Room, Sunday, October, 28, 2012 to play Konane...
- Li'i. Hope you have had a chance to ask and gather your li'i (the 36 small stones) for the game. If not, no worry, we'll pair folks up with those with playing pieces; things will work out just nice.
- 'Ohana. Family is welcome. Keiki (children of all ages) and makua (adults of all ages) are equally welcome.
- Music. Bring your instruments and your voices for kani kapila (making music) if you like ... we have two hours and a wonderful space to be in with no set agenda once we've learned the basics of Konane.
- Mea 'Ai. Good food to share is allowable in The Common Room. I will be making haupia (Hawaiian coconut pudding) to share. Feel free to bring pupus (small kine stuff) to share. We have bought a hot pot of hot water and an assortment of teas from South Whidbey Commons. And other beverages & food are available from them too.
- A'ole (without) Fragrances, please. Yes, remember to arrive without perfumes-colognes, essential oils and other scented products. Some folks planning to attend (including Pete and me) are sensitive or allergic to fragrances.
A hui hou,
Mokihana and Pete
