"Aloha Spiritual values for self, others & the environment"
comes from a family of Hula teachers from the Big Island, Hawaii. For her and her sister, Mahealani, their mother was their first hula teacher. Over the years, they have continued to dance, and Neaulani opened her own hula halau - hula school- in 1974, sharing the hula, music, language and customs. She continues teaching hula, as well as other Polynesian dance forms in the retreat programs with her sister, and students from the global communities. In addition to carrying on their hula tradition, Neaulani participated in numerous hula workshops led by hula masters George Naope, Pat Namaka Bacon, Pua and Nalani Kanaka'ole, Nona Beamer, and Cousin Maile Souza.
The strength, beauty and creativity of the hula served as an important and vibrant expression of cultural and family events, history, and spirituality, and were once solely performed by male dancers. Hula is the vehicle used for the hands to tell a story while keeping the rhythm flowing through the body, and to enfold you, and your audience with its emotions found within the story. The hula is fun, lively, sacred, light-hearted, and even satirical, solemn and ritualistic, and what determines the differences is the purpose for which it is danced.
In ancient times the hula was kapu-forbidden, and sacred, and only taught to those worthy of receiving its' knowledge and passed on from generation to generation. As a chosen child, you were taken from your family and given to the hula halau to be raised with the hula as your main priority. So sacred was this group of dancers that the halau became your family and secrets were closely guarded and kept within the halau family.
The arrival of the missionaries greatly changed the societal landscape of Hawaii forcing hula, along with other spiritual and healing aspects of the culture underground. Hula was deemed as barbaric, uncivilized and works of the devil. Fortunately, the hula did manage to survive, although a large part of its variety has been lost forever, including most of the animal dances, rarely done today, and forgotten by most.
Today, what is seen and kept alive occurred through the efforts of many courageous and beautiful Kumu hula teachers from past generations such as Neaulani's mother, and a family of teachers on her father's side, to the present generation for all to enjoy. As a member of this elite group, it is a great pleasure to be able to share the wonders and beauty of the hula. It is a most joyful and spiritual expression of Hawaii, its' land and its' people.

Crafting has always been a big part of my life. My mom loved making things with her hands and she shared her love of crafting to my sister and me. For almost 20 years, I had a hula halau (dance school) and those crafting skills I learned from her really came in handy. With the halau, there were all sorts of crafting skills needed to make costumes for our performances, stage settings, decorations and adornments as well as Tahitian drums.
My husband was the drum maker for our halau. I taught my students how to work with flowers, leaves and many different types of materials. I also shared the weaving of lauhala making bracelets, hats, leis and other crafts.
As the years went by I continued crafting and lately I started making hats and visors for my ukulele group. I wear my visor everywhere and so many people have commented on how Hawaiian my visor looks. Theyʻve often asked to buy one and wanted to give it as a gift to loved ones here and on the mainland.
I said wow what the heck I might as well start making them available for everyone. It's something I always love to do anyway. Right now, you can buy a visor or hat at the Iolani Palace gift shop. Theyʻre just $40. Itʻs so cool to be able to go there, see whatʻs available, try it on and then be able to wear it home. For more details, contact me at Neaulani. Contact Kumu Neaulani
