Join International Interplay leaders Masankho Banda and Judy Shook for an enchanting, transformational and restful time on the Healing Island of Hawaii. This is an invitation for our body spirits to connect with sacred healing sites, creative fires and mother earth. The renewing waters and the luscious green growth will be the perfect backdrop for our stillness, stories and dance. In a place where the ancestor’s names are still chanted, come and celebrate your own ancestry.
