As an altar, the kuahu is a space upon which forest plants are placed. The forest plants chosen are both inherited through hula lineage and specific to region while also evolving with the kumu’s kuahu hula and environmental relationship. Each plant holds signficance and value that is informed by the environment’s interaction, their co-existence and ʻike kūpuna via mele that speak to these natural phenomena. As a portal, the kuahu hula is a microcosm of the larger forest - the kuleana of the kuahu is an invitation and commitment to this reality. The committment to the kuahu hula is not taken lightly, as it requires environmental, spiritual, and mental accountability. The lei and forest plants dedicated to the kuahu is the pule; an offering for intended outcomes. This is an elementary explanation of the kuahu hula unique to Unulau. The kuahu hula has to be experienced to be understood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619543717957-43R1Z04Q148LMAF3RXKI/IMG_5210.jpg Moʻolelo - UNULAU x KINOLAU Collection The kuahu is my first introduction to Hawai’i’s forest, it’s what forced me to create a relationship with the environment. The kuahu was the first time I felt uncomfortable in a hula setting - I immediately felt like I was in a place that was supposed to be home but felt so foreign at the same time. I felt ill equipped, inadequate, lost and intimidated by the forest. As a kanaka born and raised in Carson, California, knowing Hawaiʻi forest plants was not a priority. When I was thrusted into the sacred process of the kuahu, I had so much to learn. I once offered a lei to the kuahu that I thought was palaʻā, but to my surprise palaʻā doesnt typically grow in a big bush in a manicured front yard of your friend’s house in Panaʻewa. Needless to say, I’ve grown to know this process well, articulating it with a millieu of spirits and yet, I still grow and continue to evolve my relationship with kuahu. Unulau x Kinolau is an evolution of this environmental kinship established by the kuahu and a way to lift the uhi (veil) a bit to share a piece of Unulau’s kuahu process with the lehulehu. - Pele Kaio, Kumu Hula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619545931554-A81HPZ23DZNJ7EPMYK9W/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.51.49+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619545805697-PVI3I34QJT3MQT8XQUZA/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.49.34+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619546003935-GGX257A4KAYJO1A7DR40/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.53.15+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619546171359-59D14S1QZJWFTW9IZ6PC/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.56.03+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619546300905-LLUDNMBZHLMW98D3RW6K/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.57.42+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619546095112-T41BG9M3XP9O13KWPCN6/Screen+Shot+2021-04-27+at+7.54.45+AM.png Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619567264223-7SE6D8EMGQ9Q5B8KNYXQ/Edited-3020.jpg Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619566876937-VKSD65IYCUCW55IL3JL1/Edited-3135.jpg Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619566738754-FIWB4JDS2O382EE2KPQI/Edited-2966.jpg Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619567385123-CYUBO6B05KEVMLI90Y9H/Edited-3112.jpg Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606fc3835b4710516236cb7f/1619567545199-A271SPD5REA4K9GI5WXD/Edited-2992.jpg Moʻolelo https://www.unulau.com/kuaimai daily 0.75 2023-09-26 https://www.unulau.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.unulau.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-ldxg8 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.unulau.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-cs73d monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.unulau.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-bz2x5 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
