Why We Gather
Together, we open to the potential of deep human connection driven by the shared experience of incredible, authentic food in an otherworldly setting on Kauaʻi. Relationships are formed, projects are initiated, uncomfortable topics are addressed, memories are forged, inspiration is rekindled, and a transformative new endeavor in its initial stages begins to flourish.

Food & Folklore
If we change the food, what happens to the culture?
How do we reclaim this sacred connection to food, in a world urbanized and detached, where food is wasted, and fast food insidiously served up as a survival technique?
