Join us for an insightful 1-hour Zoom session where we delve into the fascinating realms of Muganawa and Bondage Directed Somatic Medicine (BDSM). This call is designed to illuminate these two groundbreaking approaches that blend the ancient art of Shibari with modern therapeutic practices, offering a unique perspective on personal growth and healing.

Muganawa: Egoless Shibari

We'll begin by exploring the concept of Muganawa – an approach to Shibari that emphasizes non-attachment, mindfulness, and focusing on the experience and desires of the person being tied. This part of the session will cover how Muganawa aligns with principles of empathy, consent, and the transformative power of vulnerability in bondage.

Bondage Directed Somatic Medicine

Next, we'll transition to discussing BDSM, a novel therapeutic approach that uses the physical and psychological aspects of bondage as tools for emotional and somatic healing. Learn about the ways in which this practice can aid in unlocking and processing deep-seated emotions, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional release.

Interactive Discussion and Q&A

Throughout the session, participants are encouraged to engage in the discussion and share their perspectives. The final segment will be an open Q&A, offering you the opportunity to ask questions and deepen your understanding of these practices.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, a therapist, or simply curious about the therapeutic potential of Shibari, this Zoom call promises to be an enlightening experience. Come and discover how Muganawa and BDSM are redefining the boundaries of healing and personal growth through the art of bondage.

Knotty Yoga

A groundbreaking class where the ancient art of Shibari rope tying intertwines with the practice of yoga. In this unique session, we blend the discipline of yoga with the intricate beauty of Shibari, creating a physical and mental experience unlike any other.

As you move through traditional yoga poses, Shibari ropes will be gently and safely used to guide and hold your body. This combination allows for a deeper exploration of poses, enhancing flexibility, strength, and awareness. The ropes provide a unique support system, helping you to achieve alignments and depths in your practice that may not be accessible otherwise.

"Knotty Yoga" is more than just a physical practice; it's a journey of self-discovery and trust. The ropes act as an extension of your own body, creating a unique sense of security and containment. This environment encourages mindfulness and presence, inviting you to explore the boundaries of your body and mind in a safe and nurturing space.

Suitable for both yoga enthusiasts and those new to Shibari, this class is a safe, respectful, and consensual space to explore and grow. Fay will guide you every step of the way, ensuring a practice that is as rewarding as it is unique.

Rise N Shine: New Years Eve Event 2024

Hi everybody. Thanks for being a part of Kalani's NYE Celebration. Rise N Shine is going to be a soul lifting good time. A feast for the senses. We want everyone to start their year with a warm glow. Together we rise. It’s time to shine.



New Year's Eve is on a Sunday, so we're taking that into account as we plan an event to draw everyone together early, directly extending the music as Ecstatic Dance ends with several of our biggest regular Sunday headliners so that we can dance all day and past midnight together.



Ecstatic Dance Included



To create a seamless flow and avoid extra headaches, it will be necessary to include Ecstatic Dance with the full ticket. This event will sell out which means there will be no Ecstatic Dance only passes.



Rise N Shine is an all day event and hundreds of people will be arriving through the morning and early afternoon. It’s crucial for us to keep the traffic flowing primarily in one direction to prevent traffic jams. We are not going to spend time trying to round up and escort hundreds of dancers out while hundreds try to arrive and we race to finish setting up for the event. This would cause many logistical problems including making it difficult to keep parking in a tight formation. Maximizing the parking space is critical.



For those that might not want to spend the extra money on a full ticket, we have lots of volunteer positions available, like helping with gate or parking.



Deal Of The Century



It’s only $60 to say farewell to the old year and ring in the new with 14 hours of music, a free mimosa and waffle brunch, live music, unique sensual experiences, stimulating dance performances, free casino games, and a list of special features to be announced that will make Rise N Shine the most extravagant and talked about New Year’s celebration.



We’re really pleased with the direction this schedule is going and it is nearly complete. But, please do not share it as of yet. This is a work in progress but we want you to get an idea of the magic that we’re putting together.



This is a 14 hour event structure with 3 event tents-- The Blue Moon Room, The Sensory Temple, & The Casino Tropical.



The Blue Moon Room - Main Stage

We want to have as much music as possible this year and feature some of our favorite headliners from the Ecstatic Dance scene as well as the underground party scene. This is the one night a year we can go late at Kalani!



There will be a series of featured dance performances by the Mythos Dance Collective and others throughout the peak of the evening.



The Sensory Temple - Side Stage

A variety of entertainment will be offered at the temple space. Live music during the day, sunset yoga, a series of special presentations that focus on various senses, downtempo dj sets with live instrumentation, sound healing, a midnight ceremony, and after hours piano lounge.


The DJs that perform here will play lush, sensual vibes with live instrumentation and vocal accompaniment.


A yoga session just before sunset will help ground participants at the temple and prepare the space for sensual experiences to follow.

Starting at sunset, The Sensory Temple will feature a series of special presentations that invite participants to dive deeply into their own senses. For instance, participants will be guided through sensual feelers and a shibari lesson as they explore “Touch.” These segments are still being planned and will be announced soon.


The Casino Tropical


This is where brunch and a workshop will be held during the day. The brunch will be FREE. It includes a gluten free vegan friendly breakfast veggie scramble and waffles, as well as fresh squeezed juice and mimosas. Acoustic music from the temple will set the mood for our nourishment as we prepare to party all night.


Free casino games will be available to try at night. There will be a break in gameplay for an hour around midnight. When the casino closes at 11:30p, Angel will treat us with a special burlesque performance to get you pumped for the big countdown.


Midnight


There are two crowds that blend into each other that we will be catering to at Rise N Shine. One group that will want to ring in the New Year with a rowdy hurrah and another that would appreciate a more ceremonial transition. So, we’d like to create pleasing environments for both.


These are still in the planning stages and will be further developed with the artist involved. The main stage will have a big countdown with Angel and dancers performing at midnight. Meanwhile the Sensory Temple will feature a ceremonial sound bath with a ringing of gongs at midnight.


Camping/ Lodging 


There are 36 camping passes available which gives 1 person permission to camp overnight in a 10x10 area. Friends camping together can set up on the lower edge and combine their designated campsites.


Campers that arrive before sunset… Will be allowed to take the driveway that wraps around the center of the property to drop off their supplies at a turnaround at the campgrounds. Only a few vehicles at a time will be allowed on the inner driveway, so please unload quickly and return your vehicle to the main parking area before setting up your camp.


Very limited accommodations and some camping available. Rise in style with one of the Kalani cottages. To book call (808) 756-9530 ext 1 or email guestservices@kalani.com


Big Thanks


This will be another legendary celebration to close perhaps our best year of events on the Big Island ever and to open the next with splendor and gratitude. Opulent with a dash of decadence. This schedule is still in the work, tweaks and adjustments will occur… But, this is our current vision. Thanks for making it possible!
