✨Join us for Sunday Morning Ecstatic Dance! ✨Leave the outside world behind and step into a space to move freely, connect deeply, and let your body lead the way.
✨This week, we’re stoked to have DJ Mantis guiding our musical flow!
Mantis (aka Kamalei) is Kanaka Maoli, born and raised on Oʻahu. Blending live instrumentation like didgeridoo, melodica, and percussion into his sets, he creates an ethereal, primal soundscape designed to move both bodies and hearts.
Expect a pulsing journey through tribal house, Afro fusion, downtempo, electronic dance, stanky-face bass, and organic worldly rhythms. 🔥🌿
And he’ll be taking us all the way through to the landing. After the dance, Mantis will guide our closing sound journey, weaving ancient instruments with modern soundscapes to bring us into a space of deep rest, peace, and integration. ✨

🌀ABOUT THE JOURNEY
Ecstatic Dance is dancing with no rules and lots of heart.
The music guides the journey, carrying you through waves of rhythm, release, and expression. The music follows an arc: beginning in stillness, building to a thumping, heart opening crescendo, then returning to spaciousness with a soothing sound bath. This is a moving meditation practice. Move however your body wants — no choreography, no experience needed — just a welcoming, judgment-free space to dance, sweat, and explore.
