Meditation through movement

A Cultural Arts Program that Integrates Body and Mind

Hula is described as everything we see, hear, feel, taste and touch. Hula, like Zen, is Life! It is the dance and heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.

The practice of hula includes mindful awareness of body, arms, hands and feet placement as you dance to tell a story. Hula seeks to minimize the distance between the physical and spiritual. It includes values of openness and generosity of heart/mind, and clarity or wisdom that comes when body, mind and heart are one.
