Hatha Yoga
2016-12-20 16:00 - 17:00 (Pacific/Honolulu)
Most forms of yoga in the West can be classified as Hatha Yoga. Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. The word “hatha” can be translated two ways: as “willful” or “forceful,” or the yoga of activity, and as “sun” (ha) and “moon” (tha), the yoga of balance. Hatha practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.

Algood, a poet and writer herself, has participated in other writing groups. She counts herself among the many writers who find value in the support of a writers’ network.
Anyone interested in writing is invited to the monthly meetings—beginning writers to published authors, the timid, the brave, serious writers or amateur scribblers, the prolific and especially—the blocked.
Writers are invited to bring samples of their work if they care to share, however, this is not necessary. All are welcome to listen, to learn, and to be inspired. Algood asks that everyone bring a pen and paper for writing.
Program schedule is subject to change. Program is intended for patrons ages 12 and older. For additional information on the writers’ group at North Kohala Public Library or to arrange special accommodation, contact Janet Lam at 889-6655.

Healing Our World: Lecture and Q&A with Dr. Will Tuttle
2016-12-18 19:00 - 20:30 (Pacific/Honolulu)
Healing Our World: A Deeper Look at Food
Dr. Will Tuttle will discuss the main ideas from his acclaimed book, The World Peace Diet, which has been translated into 16 languages and sheds new light not only on the underlying causes of disease, war, injustice, and exploitation, but also offers insights into how we can each contribute to world peace and a benevolent evolution of human consciousness. His research and synthesis is based on a new understanding of the far-reaching implications of our food choices, as well as ancient wisdom teachings that have been suppressed in our culture.
Dr. Will Tuttle is a former Buddhist monk who is author of the #1 Amazon best-seller, The World Peace Diet and creator of several wellness training programs. Editor of the new book, Circles of Compassion, he is a recipient of the Courage Of Conscience Award as well as the Empty Cages Prize. Dr. Tuttle is also an acclaimed musician with seven CDs of uplifting piano music, including AnimalSongs and Islands of Light.
For more information, see his website: http://worldpeacediet.com and http://circleofcompassion.org
Some reviews of The World Peace Diet:
“I've never seen an audience so attentive and enraptured as when Will Tuttle speaks.” – Tench Phillips, president, Art Repertory Films, Norfolk, VA
“Use The World Peace Diet as a guide to empower yourself and others in making dietary choices that are powerful beyond what you can possibly imagine.”
Julia Butterfly Hill, noted environmental activist, author, and founder, Circle of Life Foundation
“Will Tuttle, the author of this eloquently written book, challenges our thinking about our relationship to non-human animals with respect, sensitivity, and grace. His understanding of the human psyche is deep. His use of language is divine, and his compassion reaches out and jumps off each and every page. I highly recommend this book, and I dare you to not be moved by its gentle power.” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author and host of Compassionate Cooks
“Absolutely the BEST book EVER on the spiritual connection to what ís on our plates. This is my favorite book in YEARS. A must.” — Meria Heller, noted radio talk show host
“I believe The World Peace Diet is the most important book of the 21st century. If you read but one book in your life, make it The World Peace Diet.” James Macy, M.D.
“Dr. Will Tuttle is an inspirational force. The energy and expressions that I witnessed in the room around me were monumental.” – Jerrilyn Halbert, KPFT Radio, Houston
“The World Peace Diet is one of the most provocative books I’ve ever read. This is a deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from compassion.” – John Robbins, noted author

Rebelution Falling into Place Hawaii Tour (Maui)
2016-12-18 18:00 - 2016-12-19 00:00 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Maui Arts & Cultural Center, 1 Cameron Way, Kahului, HI, 96732, United States
BAMP Project presents Rebelution, Pepper, and New Kingston performing at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center on December 18th. Tickets on sale now at all locations listed below. This is an all ages event.
Formed in Santa Barbara, California by a group of college music students, Rebelution was built from diverse musical backgrounds united by a shared passion for reggae. Launched in 2004, Rebelution spent a couple years playing around their home base, offering a breezy fusion of roots and rock that immediately set the group apart from acts such as Sublime and Long Beach Dub All-Stars. In 2006, they made their debut with a self-titled EP, while 2007 saw them hit with their debut album, Courage to Grow. Their 2009 follow-up, Bright Side of Life, topped Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart, while 2011 saw them cross over into electronica with their Remix EP. Peace of Mind arrived in 2012 with the versions Peace of Mind: Acoustic and Peace of Mind: Dub following later in the year, the latter remixed by Easy Star All-Star's Michael Goldwasser. Two years later, the group landed on Goldwasser's Easy Star label with the album Count Me In. Count Me In: Acoustic appeared on the group's own 87 label in 2015, then it was back to Easy Star for 2016's Falling into Place. The album featured a guest appearance from Jamaican singer Protoje and debuted at number 32 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Miguel
2016-12-17 20:00 - 23:00 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Blaisdell Center, 777 Ward Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
Ray Jr.& Tantriq Entertainment are excited to announce the Hawaii debut of Grammy Award winning R&B artist Miguel. Hawaii fan’s are in for an amazing experience as Miguel performs for one night only at the Neal Blaisdell Arena on Saturday December 17, 2016.
Miguel first hit the mainstream in 2010 with the infectious first single ‘All I Want Is You,’ from his major label debut album of the same name, a song which blended a stark hip-hop beat with Miguel’s creamy vocals to form a sound that was absent from the radio and established Miguel as one of the most unique and soulful voices in modern R&B. The album also features ‘Sure Thing,’ which hit #1 on Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B chart and second US#1 ‘Quickie.’ Miguel’s follow up was his critically-acclaimed, four-time Grammy Award nominated, sophomore album ‘Kaleidoscope Dream,’ which features his third US #1 hit single ‘Adorn,’ the intoxicating ‘How Many Drinks?’, ‘Do You…’ and ‘The Thrill.’
In 2013 Miguel was nominated for a total of 5 Grammy Awards. Lead single ‘Adorn,’ written and produced by Miguel, garnered Miguel his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and resided at #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart for more than 23 weeks becoming the longest running #1 single in the history of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay chart. Miguel’s critically acclaimed third studio album, ‘Wildheart,’ was released on June 29th via By Storm Entertainment/RCA Records and claimed the #1 spot on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart for the second time and debuted at#2 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.
The album was recently nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Urban Contemporary Album category, and its lead single ‘Coffee,’ was nominated in the Best R&B Song category. WILDHEART also topped a number of 2015 year-end lists including Time Magazine’s “Top 10 Best Albums” where it made #1, The New York Times’ “Best Albums of 2015,” Entertainment Weekly’s “40 Best Albums of 2015,” and SPIN’s “Top 50 Best Albums of 2015.”
Tickets to Miguel will be made available at 9am on Saturday October 8, 2016 at the Blasidell Box, all WallMart locations, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or online at http://www.tmrevents.net
