This weekend on the Big Island, you can obtain your first degree certification in Reiki healing and pick up some delicious local produce at the weekly farmers market, with lots of time to spare.

This beginning-level two-day class will teach you to utilize the ancient healing techniques of Reiki to access and connect to the life force within. Class size is limited for a more personal experience. Classes are offered online via teleconferencing or in-person at the Kailua-Kona or Kapa'au locations. Classes are $450 per person.

On Sunday, Feb.6 -- and every Sunday -- be sure to visit the Farmers' Market at Hamakua Harvest. Enjoy locally grown produce, handmade goods, live music and more. The market offers a beautiful ocean view, local character and it's the perfect place to take the family, as well as leashed dogs. SNAP and EBT are both accepted. The market is located at the intersection of Mamane Street and Highway 19 in Historic Honoka’a Town and is open between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. HubHawaii says, "Drink a coconut, buy a T-shirt and experience the warm hospitality of Hamakua."
