Dahn Yoga will be at the Pinch of Salt warehouse Saturday, with an aura machine that reads auras through natural heat from palms and fingers. They’ll also be selling chakra bracelets, calligraphy t-shirts, wooden pillows, books on healing and more. Indigo Elixirs will also be at this month’s Honolulu Night Market, selling their signature botanicals including scrubs, salves and tinctures made with infused herbal oils, raw organic plant butters, cold pressed oils, pure essential oils, aqueous herbal infusions and locally harvested beeswax which is processed in-house.

It’s that time again – Honolulu Night Market returns on May 18th and lots of food vendors will be lined up to satisfy your appetites. For delicious hand-folded wontons, make a pitstop at Paul’s Poppers and if you’re in the mood for an authentic Belgian street waffle, cruise by Wow Wow Waffle. Looking for a sweet fix? Follow your nose to the Pop Pop Donuts tent for fresh baked donuts.

Things are heating up for the summer, and the fashion show on our main stage this month will be a treat! Coordinated and styled by local up-and-coming designer Tyson Joines, along with local fashion boutiques Bamboo Sky, Basique Threads, and I AM, these looks are cool, classy and very modern.

“I was really inspired by Alexander Wangs Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show during New York Fashion Week, said Tyson. “His attention to detail is immaculate.  He presented a very simple yet modern collection.  My show is paying homage to that collection by featuring very subtle elements Wang is now known for.  Keep an eye out for cut-out detailing on clothes, “peek-a-boo” elements such as sheer overlays, and mesh garments as well.”

Here’s a sneak preview of the styles, courtesy of Tyson and photographer Dallas Nagata White. Get there early to grab a seat for this memorable fashion show, happening on the Main Stage at 8 p.m.!

The youth represent at this month’s Night Market, with a campaign against domestic violence called “Healthy Land, Healthy Bodies, Healthy Relationships.” Three teams of 808 Urban’s talented young artists will face off against each other, painting an 8×8′ cube while poets from Youth Speaks Hawaii perform on a nearby stage. After the artists are done, you’ll get to vote on which one you think best represents the issue. Not only will you have the chance to see the process of a mural creation from start to finish, you can participate by making your own art, with a stencil workshop run by 808 Urban and a collaborative art bulletin board for anyone to write down their own opinion on the issues.

How can art and poetry help prevent domestic violence?

“When people walk away from this event we ask them to invest in their best selves, invest into an active community, build supportive bonds, and also show that every individual has the power to change the world around them for the better, inward and outward,” said poet and youth leader Solomon Stoddard.
