We are so excited to have DJ Sky Makai return to the Honokaa People's Theatre after many years hiatus. His blending mastery formed the basis of the original People's Theatre Ecstatic in the early 2000's, as well as Ecstatic Dance at Kalanihonua since it began in the 90's. Sky is a gifted facilitator with the sacred rhythms of dance, and has been a Big Island favorite of ours for many years.
Known for perfectly seamless transitions with an impeccable choice of songs for invoking movement, emotional, mental, and physical, he ignores the boundaries of genres and blends music across a wide spectrum. Live and impromptu, never the same, his sets are always tailored for the moment and the people in it.
Devoted and committed to personal growth, community, dance and movement, his strong sense intention and care shines through every event he facilitates.
Want to catch up and listen to recent recordings of sets Sky Makai played? Follow him here:
https://soundcloud.com/skymakai
Ecstatic Dance Honokaa is a space safe to come and literally lose yourself to dance, free form movement with NO judgement. Hear the music, kick off your shoes, get on the floor, feel the vibes rushing through your body and let go – move however your feel compelled and without the worry that anyone is judging you. Denying your deserving BEing of the pleasure of dancing ecstatically is a real shame. It is my medicine, I need to move my body to music in order to feel in optimum health and since we are all vibrational BEings, even if you don't know it, dancing will likely have the same positive effect on you.
This month we'll be receiving musical medicine from DJ Sky Makai. 13yrs + $7 suggested minimum donation. Proceeds will be donated to Hui Pono Holoholona. An all volunteer non profit organization dedicated to reducing animal overpopulation humanely by spay/neutering of cats and dogs on the East side of the Big Island of Hawai'i: https://www.hphhawaii.org/

2018-03-19 18:00 - 19:00 | Pearl City Public Library, 1138 Waimano Home Rd, Pearl City, HI, 96782-2647, United States
There‘s a new book club at Pearl City Public Library! Pearl City Reads is a bi-monthly book club focusing on stories about life, family, friendship, and community.
In March, we will discuss “The Mothers” by Brit Bennett.
“Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition. It begins with a secret.
It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year- old beauty. Mourning her own mother’s recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor’s son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it’s not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance—and the subsequent cover-up—will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt.
In entrancing, lyrical prose, The Mothers asks whether a “what if” can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.” -From author’s website
