More about Pray, Dance, Aloha...
Dance has long been the moving prayer of many cultures. Reigniting the liberation of the heart and soul through dance is a joyful and essential part of a healthy, happy, empowered and unified community. Maui Access to Mindful Movement in partnership with Maui Strong and Hawai'i Community Foundation is pleased to bring more Mindful Movement to Maui Communities.
Sacred Dance Path events and many other events like these are being offered to communities all over Maui. If you are a teacher/kumu/coach on Maui who would like to elevate your community with events like this, partner with MAMM.
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?
Mālamalama is the light of clarity, the glow of insight, the radiance that rises from within. You are warmly invited to join us for this evening of sacred dance designed to awaken your inner light and restore peace to body, mind, and spirit. Through gentle hula, interpretive sacred dance, and embodied prayer, we’ll move as one — reconnecting to the wisdom within and the divine presence that guides us.
This is not just a class — it’s a sanctuary. A soulful space to tune up your heart light, create beauty and art through movement, and return to your radiance.

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.
