ECSTATIC DANCE

SUNDAY MORNINGS

Rise and shine with us every Sunday morning at the mothership of the dance that changed the world! Ecstatic Dance at Kalani created the template for this worldwide phenomenon of weekly community dances held as ritual dance experience. A beloved modern tradition that transformed our local community and the lives of thousands of dancers from around the globe.

Each Sunday opens with an invigorating yoga warm up led by Megan Yogini. Next we flow into the opening circle, and then a two and a half hour classic Ecstatic Dance, and then closing circle.

Our Sunday dances have long been the heartbeat of the Big Island dance scene; a rhythmic pulse of expression and connection. An outlet for the body, mind and spirit, the container is held to safely move through all levels of emotional release. Let’s dance our prayers together!

FIRE & WATER

SATURDAY, APRIL 5th
FROM 6 PM – 10 PM
$25 EARLY BIRD TICKETS
$30 GENERAL ADMISSION

Featuring: ATYYA, IMAGIKA OM & NOETIK the ALCHEMIST

Big Island community! We are in for a very special evening of music. We have internationally recognized bass boss & prolific producer ATYYA joining the lineup with support from the very talented, Imagika Om and Noetik the Alchemist. This will be ATYYA’s first time on the island, & he’s coming out just to join us for this special event, so let’s give him a warm welcome!

Dive into the elemental realms where fire & water energies entwine, awakening the senses & igniting the soul. Fire & Water is a night of deep, sensual bass, elemental rituals, & ritualistic adornment. Surrender to the pulse of the beat, & the fluidity of the tides. Step into a world where fire meets water in the heart. Embody your inner avatar or apsara—whether fiery, fluid, or untamed. Become a living canvas through immersive body painting & skin adornment if you so choose. Dress as your elemental avatar, & step into the luminous intention of the night, where the fusion of fire & water turns to steam, mysticism & futurism come together, & the ancient & future becomes one.
