The Rainbow Chorus of Honolulu invites singers of all backgrounds and experience levels to raise their voices with us as we prepare for our upcoming concert, Stronger Together, on Father’s Day, June 21, 2026. We rehearse every Monday evening from 7:00–9:00 pm (except holidays) at Unity Church of Hawai‘i, and we are actively seeking new voices to join our chorus. This concert is being created as a powerful act of community and compassion. Stronger Together is our collective opportunity to stand in harmony with all people who are being pushed down, pushed out, stepped on, or pushed aside. Through music, we affirm that our voices matter—and that together, they are stronger. We sing to let those in power know that we stand together, lifting up our shared humanity, our diverse communities, and our unwavering commitment to love, dignity, and justice for all. If you feel called to sing with purpose, to build community, and to be part of something meaningful, we welcome you to join us. Come as you are. Bring your voice. Stand with us.

Discover how writing can deepen your relationship with the natural world in this creative, nature-inspired workshop at Lyon Arboretum.Writing about ʻāina—poetry, writing, and composition are wonderful ways to deepen our observations, knowledge of, and connection to ʻāina. Together, we will slow down to observe the unique landscape of Lyon Arboretum and build a shared “word palette” of phrases, images, and ideas inspired by our surroundings. Using this collective vocabulary along with guided writing prompts, participants will explore poetry and creative writing inspired by the beauty of nature. No prior writing experience is necessary—all levels are welcome. By participating in this class, you are helping support Lyon Arboretum’s educational programs and community outreach initiatives. About the InstructorD. Kealiʻi MacKenzie is a queer Kanaka ʻŌiwi poet who believes writing is a powerful tool for exploration and connection, and that it is accessible to everyone at every level. A former facilitator with the community-based organization Pacific Tongues, he has facilitated writing workshops across Oʻahu and as far away as Papua New Guinea. Kealiʻi is an avid tea drinker, plays Dungeons & Dragons, takes community-based ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi classes, listens to far too many podcasts, and resides beneath Olomana.
