SUNDAY KALANI ECSTATIC DANCE // JANUARY 19th
Announcement!!
With a last minute cancellation by our Musical Facilitator this Sunday, we asked ourselves who we could ask to fill this crucial role with reverence and care on such short notice…
One musical facilitator who hasn’t led our ritual in almost a year came to mind right away.
He’s a dancer foremost so being on stage isn’t his first choice. In fact he often says he’d prefer if Ecstatic Dance wasn’t about the DJ at all. That definitely factors into him being at the top of our minds.
Taking on this role on such short notice is such a big ask so we’re extremely grateful (and excited!) for this dancer being flexible and resilient in our dire time of need.
Thank you Sky Makai, for stepping into this crucial role once again!!
Sky Makai is one the facilitators of the original Ecstatic Dance on Hawai'i Island.
A dancer at heart, Sky joined Ecstatic Dance at Kalani Honua in the early days when Ecstatic Dance was only a handful of people and unheard of except as a concept in Gabrielle Roth’s seminal book: Maps to Ecstasy
Sky began providing opening music with Ecstatic Dance’s founder, Max Fathom. Later, Sky took part in the original Ecstatic Dance Facilitator workshops, becoming one of Kalani Ecstatic Dance's core team of facilitators.
Staying true to the roots of Ecstatic Dance, Sky's sets observe a distinguishable arc. These musical journeys pay homage to Gabrielle Roth's influential practice of observing and moving through a “Wave” of musical selections. The practice involves considering how waves are inherent in all of nature; our life cycles, our relationships, and in our most intimate moments.
Sky’s musical journeys are designed to reach intense and energetic ecstasy while also encouraging introspection and emotional release.
We love Sky’s passion and dedication to our Ritual Community Movement Journey… his dedication to personal growth… and his deep love of helping others. We’re so excited for Sky to lead this Sunday!
