Full Moon Aloha Dance

Maui Access to Mindful Movement has been funded by Maui Strong and Hawai'i Community Foundation to bring Mindful Movement to Maui Communities.

Pray, Dance, Aloha is one of many events offered to communities all over Maui.

These gatherings focus on enjoyable activities rather than problems, so we can address challenges from an empowered and elevated state. Community movement practices naturally regulate the nervous system, create emotional safety, a sense of belonging, and the creative power of a united community.

Embodied learning and direct experience are the ways of indigenous healing. Rather than relying on verbal processing, this approach uses the body's natural wisdom to create change. Movement and breath work bypass intellectual defenses and create lasting transformation through physical experience. Won't you join us and build new strength and resilience in our Maui 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.
