🎼 SOUND HEALER OF THE WEEK: Kimba Arem Raja offers sound healing through the most ancient instrument of all—the human voice. Rooted in the Tamil tradition, his practice draws from devotional songs, ancient melodies, and intuitive vocal transmission beyond performance. There are no instruments or external tools—only raw, resonant voice carried by breath and presence. Using sound as prāṇa, Raja’s voice moves through the nervous system, softening the mind and opening the heart. In this space, vibration becomes medicine and sound becomes prayer. Listeners are invited into stillness, release, and a deep remembering of the body’s natural capacity to heal.

📅 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.
ManaFest is a 3 Day transformational festival in beautiful Hawai'i, featuring Music, Dance, Culture & Arts. A place where you can refresh, renew, and reawaken your spirit, where the ocean meets the jungle, and EVERYONE is Welcome!
