Lei Making Workshop

Blue Zones Project is a community-led well-being improvement initiative designed to make healthy choices easier through permanent changes to a city’s environment, policy, and social networks. Established in 2010, Blue Zones Project is inspired by Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow and New York Times best-selling author who identified five regions of the world—or Blue Zones—with the highest concentration of people living to 100 years or older. Blue Zones Project incorporates Buettner’s findings and works with cities to implement policies and programs that will move a community toward optimal health and well-being. The initiative in Hawaiʻi is currently sponsored by HMSA in eight communities including North Hawaiʻi Island, East Hawaiʻi Island, West Hawaiʻi Island, Central Maui, Koʻolaupoko, Manoa-Makiki-McCully-Mōʻiliʻili, Kapolei-ʻEwa and Wahiawa along with numerous statewide worksites and partnerships.
