String figures have been found in almost all of the cultures of the world and new ones continue to be created. Most people remember the games of Cat's Cradle, Cup and Saucer and Jacob's Ladder but there are thousands more. Intricate geometric patterns are revealed as the movement of the hands dance to a rhythm of motion. A universal motion in time and space. Everything has a story...

The Art of String Figures is found in many cultures of the world. In Hawaii it is known as Hei. It is more commonly recognized as Cat’s Cradle. Lois & Earl Stokes are artists of the spirit performing string figures as an esoteric art. They live the Huna Philosophy and The Aloha Spirit of Hawaii. They view String Figures as a gift from their Ancestors. Many figures have been forgotten but many remain. They want the children of this land to know the beauty of this living treasure. On another level they use String Figures for healing and to promote health and wellness. They show others how to use String Figures as a tool for manifestation, divination, energy work, meditation and journeying.
