Friday Night Fun OCT17

Opening with a mindful moment, a circle of connection, and principles for respectful interaction and safety, the evening begins with an introduction to martial arts and self-defense. Keiki ages 6 to 12 then enjoy controlled live training, interactive games, and more. All activities are active, engaging, and safely supervised by experienced instructors. Near the end of the evening, kids enjoy a healthy and delicious dinner buffet, music and social time. As a Valentine’s-themed event, we will emphasize sharing kindness with others—especially during live-training, self-defense discussions and games—so kids practice strength with compassion.

As a parent, I understand how essential it is that parents have time to relax and come home to themselves. We are so much kinder, creative, and effective parents when we make time for self care. Often that means time away from being care takers. That is why I am offering these Friday Night Fun events. In this win-win evening we reach out to take care of families by giving keiki a frisky night of playing with peers while you enjoy a few precious hours of relaxation. We are blessed to have these events sponsored by Maui Access to Mindful Movement and the Maui Strong Fund. These organizations truly care about the health and happiness of Maui families and want to elevate the well being of our island community.

Maui Access to Mindful Movement (MAMM) seeks to spread awareness of, and access to, the physical, mental, emotional and social benefits of group practices such as martial arts, yoga, cultural movement, dance, and nature immersion. MAMM’s mission is to show more Maui residents how mindful movement isn't just physical fitness; it's a catalyst for unlocking one’s potential through focus, awareness, and self-regulation. It is an opportunity for social interaction in an environment of discipline, shared principles and common goals. These community activities can be deeply therapeutic. They bring us out of isolation and give us safe space to move together. When we move with intention, breathe in rhythm, and grow together, something more than physical well being happens – fear transforms into courage, isolation into belonging, and trauma into resilience. Blending physical activity with mental presence, helps us calm compulsiveness and mindfully channel our energy; developing healthier social interactions and family dynamics. MAMM seeks to bring mindful movement to more Maui families.
