Mana of the Pacific – Workshops

Ribbon Lei Making

🌺 Mana of the Pacific 2025 is around the corner! 🌺 UQU and UQSPIA invite you to a warming celebration and showcase of all things Pacific 🌊 where you’ll be immersed in the diversity and beauty of UQ’s many wonderful Pacific cultures through hands-on workshops, traditional dance, and uplifting music. 🎶

🌴 Come along to this free ribbon lei workshop!

Leis in the Pacific are more than adornments, they’re a way of welcoming and thanking our Pacific families in all aspects of life. Come with us as we teach you how to weave, with contemporary materials, a lei to welcome you into our space and to have a little glimpse into our ways of being. 🥥
