Winter Solstice: Return to Light (Dec 21) — An Oceanfront Night of Dance, Ceremony, and Community at Kalani

The breeze at Kalani carries salt and plumeria as the sun slips mauka-to-makai. Then the rhythm rises. Bare feet meet warm earth. Strangers become ʻohana. This is Winter Solstice: Return to Light—where you dance your way into a new season, under the open sky.

Have you ever welcomed the longest night with a circle of hearts, tea steaming in your hands, and music flowing like the tide? Tonight’s that kind of magic.

What to expect

Movement Temple is curating a full-body, full-heart evening—part ceremony, part ecstatic dance, all community care.

• ●A soul-stirring music journey from Mah Ze Tar, Peace Sine, Dros, and Jämi
• ●A grounding opening circle and closing integration to seal the night
• ●Organic food that’s actually ono, plus botanical elixirs
• ●A mellow tea lounge for deep talk-story between dances
• ●Space to breathe, stretch, and move at your own pace

Picture lantern glow on the palms, bass that hums through your chest, and the clink of tea cups as friends new and old find each other.

The people behind the magic

• ●Movement Temple: Big Island facilitators who blend ceremony and dance with real aloha—creating containers that feel safe, welcoming, and alive.
• ●The Artists: Expect global textures, downtempo grooves, and heart-forward sets designed for journeying—not just jumping. Each artist brings their own flavor, weaving a seamless arc from arrival to afterglow.
• ●Kalani Oceanside, Pāhoa: A beloved Puna gathering place where the forest meets the sea. Open-air hale, soft lighting, and that unmistakable Kalani calm.

Insider tips

• ●Bring: refillable water bottle, comfy dancewear, a light layer for after-dark, and a small towel or sarong for the floor.
• ●Shoes off feels best. The floor is kind to bare feet—your body will thank you.
• ●Puna nights can be cool and a bit dewy—pack that extra layer.
• ●Parking can fill—carpool with your crew when you can.
• ●Elixirs and tea taste even better with cash on hand, though cards may be accepted.
