Join us for a welcoming series designed to help you feel more confident and supported as you age in place. Together, we'll explore simple ways to make your home safer and more age-friendly, learn about helpful tools and resources, and have open conversations about planning for the future when the time is right.

In our final session this October, we'll put what we've learned into action by sharing ideas and recommendations with the KALO team to help make the AloHā Resource & Community Center an even more welcoming and age-friendly space for our kūpuna.

Are you growing kalo at your hale (home)?

Join us for a virtual talk story every Thursday as we share manaʻo, tips, and experiences about growing kalo on the continent. Whether you're just getting started or have an established māla, this is a space to ask questions, learn from one another, and celebrate the journey of growing kalo.

We'll talk about seasonal care, watering practices, preparing your māla for changing weather, harvesting and preparing lau for eating, and any challenges or successes you're experiencing along the way.

Bring your questions, updates, and photos! We'd love to see how your kalo is thriving this summer!

Protect yourself and your power!

ʻAnakē Toni will lead a Safety & Self-Defense Workshop designed to empower our lāhui with practical skills to stay safe, alert, and confident in everyday situations. Participants will learn simple strategies for awareness, personal safety, and responding to potentially unsafe situations while building confidence in their ability to protect themselves and others. This workshop is a welcoming space to learn, practice, and connect with our community. Open to KALO members!

Join KALO member and artist Kanani Miyamoto for an evening of creativity, culture, and community as we paint together while learning the history, meaning, and cultural significance of KALO's mural. Through guided storytelling and hands-on art, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the ʻike, manaʻo, and community values reflected in the mural and how public art helps preserve and share Native Hawaiian culture in Oregon.

Kanani Miyamoto is a Native Hawaiian and Japanese artist, educator, and curator based in Portland, Oregon. Originally from Honolulu, her work explores identity, ancestry, and cultural memory through printmaking, painting, and community-based art. She is passionate about creating spaces where art becomes a way to connect, learn, and strengthen pilina.

No prior painting experience is needed—just come ready to create, learn, and spend an evening in community.
