Mana Ola Hula and Reiki Workshop 2

Mana Ola Hula and Reiki Workshop Series

E komo mai (welcome) to our newest course offering at the Maika'i Studio. We have put together an 8-week hula and Reiki workshop focusing on accessing the flow of universal life force energy ('mana' in Hawaiian or 'ki' in Japanese) to bring more harmony and balance into our lives. Mana/ki fills and surrounds every living thing, but its flow can become blocked in our physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual energy body. This can cause us to feel unwell. When the mana/ki flows freely, we feel empowered and in touch with our authentic self. This workshop series aims to support us in clearing stuck energy through hula, chanting, Reiki practice, guided meditation with Tibetan bowls, and connecting with the sacred aspects of both hula and Reiki.

This workshop is for anyone who has been attuned to Reiki, from Level 1 up to Master.

For the Reiki practice and meditation, please bring a yoga mat and cushion.

Please refrain from wearing or bringing fragrances, such as essential oil, perfume, or scented lotion.

We will have a 15-minute break between the Reiki and hula, so you will have time to chat and have some refreshments. If you'd like to bring a snack to share, please do!

This is an in-person workshop.

Cost: $10-20 sliding scale. Choose a ticket for $10, $15, or $20, whichever amount you are most comfortable with.

If you would like to join us, but can't afford the tuition, please get in touch with us, and we will find a way to make it work.

We are located at the Maika'i Studio in Leilani Estates, on the Big Island of Hawaii. If you'd like to have the address, please e-mail soundandreiki@gmail.com or text (808) 773-9912.

Meet the facilitators

Robbie McGrath -- Kumu Hula and Reiki Master

Aloha mai, I am excited to be part of the Mana Ola Reiki workshop being offered at Maika’i Studio, tapping into the universal life-force energy and the sharing of aloha, reiki, mele, oli, and hula. I have spent the past thirty years immersed in hula and Hawaiian culture and truly love how it has enriched my life. I have been very blessed to have studied under many amazing Kumu. I received my AA in Hawai’i Lifeways/hula from HCC in 2005 and was delighted at the opportunity to teach hula to the international students there for many years until 2019. For the past ten years I have been teaching hula in Leilani estates under the direction of Kumu hula Kimo Awai who uniki’d me to be a Kumu hula in February of 2020. I love to carry out and share his mission of dancing for aloha and world peace with others.
