Tour participants will meet at the Volcano Art Center (VAC) at 19-4074 Old Volcano Rd. in Volcano Village. The tour will focus on Hawaiian protocol, traditional chants, history and lifeways, as they relate to the native forest ecosystem. Topics will include protocol for “asking permission” to enter the forest and gather plant material, traditional knowledge and uses of forest plants, and local history and lore from the uniquely Hawaiian perspective. The tour may include examples of traditional Hawaiian oli (chants) and hula that relate to the forest.
Over 20 years ago, VAC signed an agreement with the Hawai’i State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to lease a 7.4 acre land parcel containing roughly 5 acres formally known as the Niaulani Forest Reserve and within it an established 1/7 mile loop trail. Members of VAC including artists, scientists, and educators from the Volcano community immediately began removing invasive species from the land. In signing the lease for Niaulani, VAC agreed to continue the generational legacy of land stewardship and to educate residents and visitors about its importance as a natural and cultural resource.
Ryan McCormack is an ʻŪniki ʻAi Lolo of Unukupukupu, having completed his formal rites of passage under the tutelage of Dr. Taupōuri Tangarō. He is Kumu Hula of Māunuunu and a Lecturer in the Hawaiʻi Life Styles department at Hawaiʻi Community College. Originally from Waimānalo, he now calls the rainforest of ʻŌlaʻa, Hawaiʻi Island, his home. His ongoing passion for hula and community wellbeing has been supported by a lifetime of dancing and an educational journey that has most recently culminated in a Masters degree in Depth Psychology, with an emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies, from Pacifica Graduate Institute. He delights in sharing the mythology, history, music, and dance traditions of Hawaiʻi, both here at home and around the world.
The tour is free and open to the public. Participation is limited so please call (808) 967-8222 to reserve your spot. This tour is sponsored by the County of Hawai’i’s Department of Research and Development.

Zentangle® Inspired Art Class: Artist Inspired with Lydia Meneses
Saturday, December 14, 2019 | 10AM-1PM
Our world-wide Zentangle® community was inspired by two creatively bold artists; Gustav Klimt and Keith Haring. CZTs from all over the world created amazing tiles using the artists’ bold expressive line movements. During our Zentangle session I’ll share some fun ideas I’ve learned to mingle their styles with Zentangle art.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862-February 6, 1918) from Austrian was a symbolist painter. Klimt is noted for his elegant bold color paintings, murals and works in various media, primary subject was the female. Klimt’s elegant style takes our Hollibaugh tangle, pattern, to a whole new level.
Keith Haring (May 4, 1958-February 16, 1990) was born in Reading, Pennsylvania. His father was instrumental in encouraging young Haring’s interest in art by spending time with his son as they both created drawings. Haring is an American “Pop” artist, whose bold primal strokes and graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture in the ‘80. We will practice Haring’s “non-touch” technique to create our Haring inspired tile.
Students Kit: Official Zentangle tiles, PN black pen, Sakura white and gold gel pens.
Class will be guided with Zentangle’s traditional ceremony and method.
- Gratitude
- Appreciation
- Relaxation
- Mindfulness & awareness
This class is open to all levels, no Zentangle or art experience necessary. Participants are welcome to bring their favorite drawing tools. Please bring a snack to share. Cost is $35/$30 VAC Members plus a $15 fee, inclusive of supplies.

Aloha Friday cultural demonstrations are held each week from 11 am – 1 pm on the porch of Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. This month’s offerings include: Lei making with Kaipo Ah Chong.
Tropical Agriculture farmer Kaipo Ah Chong will share his expert lei-making skills with VAC visitors. As a member of Halau Na Kamalei, his unique experience marries the science of agriculture with Hawaiian lei and hula traditions.
These free cultural events are supported in part by a grant from the County of Hawai‘i, Dept. of Research and Development and the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority.
Monthly Hula ‘Auana Performances
A classic style hula ʻauana performance is slated with musicians Joe Camacho and Tithing Chun. They will be joined by a dancer from Ke ʻOlu Makani o Mauna Loa halau under the direction of Meleana Manuel. Additional “talk story” and audience participation of song, hula and memories will add to the relaxed atmosphere that occurs in any backyard kanikapila. We invite you to come, share and enjoy.
Performed against the backdrop of the beautiful Niaulani rain forest, these free monthly hula performances from 4-5:30pm will surely deepen the viewer’s appreciation of modern hula. The healthy Hawaiian rain forest at Niaulani is home to many native plants and birds found only in Hawai’i and is referred to in songs and hula movements.
Weather permitting the performance will be held outdoors in VAC’s outdoor sculpture garden. Feel free to bring folding chairs, blankets, refreshments, for a picnic style event. If weather is not conducive the event will be held indoors. Please dress in warm layers and be prepared for sun and/ or rain.
These monthly performances deepen the understanding and appreciation for modern hula. Performances begin at 4pm at VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village typically on the fourth Friday of each month. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the County of Hawai’i’s Department of Research and Development.
