Yoda Laneski. The class will include a history on
women in Hip Hop introduced by Hip Hop Educator

true meaning of Hip Hop that has been lost in todays
modern commercialization and to show the real women
of Hip Hop who as a whole display a strong sense
of power and grace.
The
dance portion of the workshop will encourage women
to let loose, while gaining a sense of rhythmn and
coordination meanwhile understanding the strong
meaning and undertones of this artform and its significance
in American pop culture. We will encourage participants

MEN
& BOYS ONLY - ALL AGES
This is a
writing workshop in appreciation of all the support
we have received from men and how they have aided
us in the battle against violence to women and girls.
This is an opportunity for men and potential male
leaders to speak out about their roles and responsibilities
to the women who gave us breath. There will be a
writing component to “Leadership in Others’
Shoes” conducted by YouthSpeaksHawai’i
Mentor and Writing Workshop Director, Darron Cambra.
Attendees will have an opportunity to share their
work at the open mic event at the Girl Fest Closing
Night Party on November 18th at Bar 35.
The writing component will have examples of men
redefining masculinity. This isn’t male-bashing
or guilt-tripping. The goal is a real honest dialogue,
where solutions are sought and an understanding
is found for the redefined role of ‘being
a man’ in. Men of all ages and writing ability
are welcomed and appreciated. You just need a pencil
and pen and a little consciousness. So if you are
a man who is interested, or know a guy that needs
to hear this, please participate.

A workshop
to explore matters of deep significance through
the practice of Council. Learn the simple and
beautiful tools of heartfelt communication for
lovers, family, friends and more.
Council
is a time-honored means of authentic and heartfelt
communication. This circular dialogue has been
practiced throughout the ages. Its modern application
can be found in many places where a deeper conversation
is desired. From intimate relationships, to family
gatherings, from classrooms to boardrooms, Council
creates community. It offers its participants
a safe and sage environment in which to open up
and share thoughts and feelings. This extraordinary
exercise in the art of listening holds the key
to being heard.
Please
join Bonnie and Amber Tamblyn in a Council circle
and share your story. We will explore the basic
principles of listening and speaking from the
heart, creating community, and re-connecting to
the magic of the Voice of the Circle.
