Ecstatic Dance
The People's Theatre

Event Description
Ecstatic Dance Honoka‘a is back with another special Saturday Evening Dance on Saturday, March 18, 2023.
We invite you to move with us on “Honoka‘a Green & Gold Day” as we celebrate Spring Equinox and promote Hō‘ā & Hāmākua Harvest’s Aloha ‘Āina Spring Equinox Planting (Sunday, March 19), and Hawai‘i Farmer’s Union United.
Facilitating this dance, we’re honored to host one of the Big Island’s dance music pioneers, Odysseus.
From what we gather, Odysseus has something very unique planned for us, as he will be accompanied by special guests performing alongside him during his set. Joining him for this dance are Samantha Smith, Marika Ripke, Hayden Spector, and Michael Drummer.
We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve!

More Information
SPECTOR
Highly recommended by several of the Island’s top DJ talents, we are excited to bring Spector to guide our Honokaʻa Ecstatic Experience.
Never afraid to go deep, Spector’s selections bring humanity and soul onto the dance floor. From moving and organic layered deep house to spiraling psychedelic bush progressive, warped drum & bass, funky electro, and melodic conscious bass or hip hop, his sounds range across the emotional spectrum.
For dancers, it’s good to know Hayden’s first passion is for the people; as a Percussionist, DJ, Father, Eclectic Enthusiast, and Truth Seeker, he’s continually honing the craft of storytelling through sound and finding ways to create connections and movement. Spector’s sound is guaranteed to soothe, serenade, and shake the soul awake!

MAHINA LEE (Yoga + Sound Bath)
Mahina Lee has been practicing hatha yoga and meditation since 2008. In 2015, Mahina became certified as a Pheonix Rising Yoga Therapist and in 2017, completed her 200-hour RYS YTT in Thailand.
Mahina enjoys facilitating restorative and gentle hatha flow yoga classes integrating mindfulness, breathwork, and toning. Her passion is to create safe spaces in which people of all backgrounds can access their innate wisdom for greater self-awareness, healing, and self-sovereignty in their lives.
Mahina currently resides in Papaikou on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, where she offers private, one on one sessions in mindfulness-based Yoga Therapy, Thai bodywork, Lomilomi, Reiki, and Sound healing with Biofield tuning forks.
The sound healing offering for this ecstatic dance will be a first-time debut of original modern-day mantras sung in angelic four-part harmonies by the newly formed cadre of Moon Mele, made up of Hāmākua songstresses: Amanda Rose, Maite Castagnoli, Julia Zerbe, and Mahina Lee.
