Join us in learning the mindful art of making songpyeon from scratch, a delicious traditional Korean rice cake with a modern touch. This workshop is hands-on, beginner-friendly, and fun!
Songpyeon is a traditional dessert enjoyed during Chuseok, Korea’s mid-autumn harvest festival. Families gather to make songpyeons as a communal activity rooted in Korean culture.
This delicate dessert is gluten-free. Ingredients include Fresh Rice Flour, Salt, Water, Honey, Sesame Seeds, Brown Sugar, and Sesame Oil.
Shana Lee is a Korean American born and raised in Hawai’i. Her journey with Korean desserts began when she first tasted baekseolgi, a fluffy and chewy steamed rice cake. She was fascinated by its delicate simplicity and unique texture.
Shana fell in love with Rice Blossoms’ unique style and modern take on rice cakes, which wonderfully blends tradition with elegance. Discovering Korean desserts’ beauty and rich history has been a heartfelt and gratifying adventure. As part of Rice Blossoms, she is excited to educate and share these delightful creations with the people of Hawai’i. Through each dessert, Shana hopes to bring a little sweetness, a lot of aloha, and the perfect blend of tradition and modern artistry for you to enjoy!
Rice Blossoms is frequently hosted as a pop-up at the Ala Moana Nordstrom, Mori, Anthropologie, and Bloomingdale’s.

Pō & the 4Fathers – TICKETS HERE
A New Perspective
Pō & the 4Fathers is a unique musical experience that delivers a lyrical message that is powerful and clear with a modern Kanaka Maoli perspective. The band is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, Polynesian rhythms, and indigenous sounds, as well as the music that has moved generations like reggae, soul, blues, funk, and hip hop. They write songs of joy, hardship, pain and triumph, learned from shared experiences from the time of Pō to the present, and into the future.
The New Sound
Through their connection with the Mana Maoli Collective the stars above Aotearoa aligned and a convergence of indigenous Hawaiian music like no other sprung up at the Pasifika Vibes Festival. Over a kanoa of ‘awa a musical bond was established. Many influences merged into a new sound, songs were shared and written, and a deep brotherhood was formed. Pō & the 4Fathers emerged creating a new style, sound, and impactful message that represents the forward movement of Maoli music.

Koloa Maoli: A road to recovery and returning home.
2025-07-08 17:00 - 19:00 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Princeville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Rd., Princeville, HI, 96722, United States
The Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, with a special talk on the Koloa Maoli, or Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana). Once widespread across all islands, Koloa Maoli are now only found on the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. This talk will begin with a brief overview of the Koloa Maoli, including how its ancestors arrived in Hawai‘I, and evolved into a unique species deeply intertwined with the islands’ ecosystems.
The presentation will then explore threats that have led to the species’ decline, including habitat loss, predation by introduced animals, and the particularly significant threat posed by introduced mallards. The core of the presentation will focus on current conservation efforts, highlighting an upcoming translocation project aimed at reestablishing Koloa Maoli populations on islands where they have been extirpated. These efforts, led by dedicated conservation teams, seek to restore Hawai‘i’s wetland ecosystems and ensure the survival of the Koloa Maoli for generations to come. The talk will conclude with ways the public can support this critical work, from spreading awareness to engaging in community conversations about native species conservation across Hawai‘i.
Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, July 8, 2025 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit http://www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.
