Please join us for for the exciting

10th Anniversary of "Wassa Dances with Aloha" at Kalani Honua Retreat Center on the Big Island, Hawaii March 20-27, 2010


Merge with the vibrations of Aloha, the power of earth-based rhythms and sink into your essential being in this week-long, 10th anniversary dance intensive with facilitator, Lara McIntosh (a.k.a "Wassa" of Wassa Dance).

We will meet each morning for an extended and deep immersion in dance, metaphor, music, and guided movement meditation.

Our dancing will be inspired by some of this planet's newest earth, an active volcano, the oceanside, rainbows, a lush tropical setting and movement crafted from the heart of rhythm.

Our soundscape will include the ever present ambient tones of our tropical environment along with music scores derived from Lara’s extensive African and World Music library.

Spontaneous afternoon and evening offerings for group or individual sessions are TBA throughout the week. 

The remainder of each day is purposefully left open for each person to savor their own experience of the Wassa work along with the many delights and resources of Kalani and its neighborhood.



For information or to register for this special week, please contact coordinator Jenny Easley
