Hawaiʻi Creative Events - We’re Back 🌺 April Events

Aloha Hawaiʻi Creative Community 🌺

After a long and necessary recalibration, I’ve returned to the islands with a full heart.

I’m excited to share some powerful upcoming experiences unfolding across Hawaiʻi.

I’ve decided to move away from just a once-a-month publishing schedule and plan to share more frequently in support of our creative community. If you’re on this list, you may start receiving one-off Event Spotlight emails featuring unique experiences happening across the islands.

With that said, I would love to support your next event. Simply reply with “Feature My Events” and I’ll send you more info. Each issue will continue to highlight inspiring gatherings across Hawaiʻi including music, arts, cultural experiences, retreats, and community-driven events curated with intention for our island ecosystem.

Grateful to be stepping into this next chapter with you and excited for what’s ahead.

in gratitude,

Brielle 🌺

HEADLINER : @scottnice

Born from turntablist culture but unbound by genre, Scott weaves global sounds, Afro-Latin rhythms and Eastern textures into lush electronic productions. His live sets feature scratch techniques over beats that span continents, creating sonic journeys that honor tradition while pushing forward.

When he returned to music, everything changed. His productions now honor both the healer and the skateboarder in him—blending healing frequencies with dance floor energy, tradition with innovation. Twenty years in, he’s released 7 albums with collaborators like The Polish Ambassador, El Buho, Porangui and Alex Serra, and performed at Lightning in a Bottle, Envision Festival, and beyond.

Warmup DJ Set — @djqtbeatz Born just outside Boston, DJ QT Beatz found an early refuge in music while navigating communication and personal challenges growing up. After years working as a technical engineer—including roles with Harvard Business School and Wildlife Acoustics—she relocated to Kaua‘i in 2023 to follow a path centered around music and community.

Now based on the island, QT Beatz has become a familiar presence in Kaua‘i’s dance scene, crafting percussion-driven sets that blend Afro-House, Afro-Beats, global bass, and soulful electronic rhythms.

Dance Lab: “Experiments in Rhythm” — Facilitated by @alexisdancing_ Join us for a dance lab with Alex Milewski, a movement artist and educator exploring rhythm as a language of connection. This playful, embodied warm-up blends somatic awareness, rhythm games, and creative movement to awaken the body and attune us to one another.

ECSTATIC DANCE

📅 Every Sunday ⏰ 10 am Yoga Warm up - 11am Dance begins

📍Kalani Honua

Join us every Sunday morning at the birthplace of Ecstatic Dance, where movement becomes prayer and community becomes family. Originating at Kalani in 2001 with Max Fathom and inspired by Gabriel Roth’s 5Rhythms, this ritual shaped a global conscious dance movement. Our Big Island community has continued this tradition with devotion, welcoming 200–350 dancers each week.

This is more than just dance - it's a space to release, express, and reconnect. Our format follows a wave: beginning in community, building in intensity, and closing in stillness. The DJ set flows through phases of movement, emotion, and rhythm.

We begin with a grounding Opening Circle to share intentions and guidelines. The journey unfolds with music that rises and falls like the ocean. We close with connection, shares, and announcements. A yoga warm-up offered by Movement Church prepares the body & spirit.

Odysseus @ Maui E Dance

📅 Sunday April 5th ⏰ 1pm-pau

📍Forest - Haiku

Odysseus has been mixing elegant, tribal progressive beats in many forms, since the mid-nineties, often with live musicians.

From the Southern California deserts to the Greek islands and Hawaiian rainforests, his expansive sounds have honored many moons and brought many tribes together.

His underground after-hour soul-filled sounds have rocked warehouses and clubs from Amsterdam to Berlin.
