Don’t miss these 3 Big Island “other” adventures (Jul 5–12)

Feels like summer on the Big Island

Trade winds in your hair, plumeria on the breeze, and long golden evenings. You can almost hear the first beat drop already. Ready to swap screen time for real-life magic?

Wednesday night, the pulse lands at La Hiki Ola Kava Bar where Cypher Night: Freestyle Improv & Hip Hop throws down from 6:00–8:30pm (and sometimes til pau). Tiger Heart hosts, the mic is open, and the vibe is high-energy. Picture kava bowls clinking while verses spark under string lights—are you stepping into the circle or cheering from the bar?

Two more ways to fill your cup

Thursday morning, slide mauka for Plant Aloha Series: Hands-on Permaculture Classes at Coconut Hale (near the kitchens), Hawaiian Sanctuary. It’s 9:00am–12:00pm, donation-based, and rooted in regenerative farming and soil building. Feel the earth under your nails and learn tricks your garden will thank you for.

By afternoon, drift into Josanna's Garden Party. It’s a weekly community meet-and-eat, 2:00–6:00pm, where you can share a song, play a game, or just enjoy ono food. Donations are welcomed but not expected—come as you are and talk story under the fruit trees.

Pick your vibe this week

• ●Night owls and wordsmiths: the free cypher is your midweek rush.
