ELEMENTAL // Temple Step + Chris Berry + Jämi
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music and connection at Hawaiian Sanctuary Retreat Center. Get ready to immerse yourself in a mesmerizing fusion of sounds, as Temple Step Project, Chris Berry and Jämi Deva transport you to a world of sonic bliss.
Come early for the Opening Cacao Ceremony guided by Madhu Honey. Let the music guide you on a journey of self-discovery and togetherness as we explore the Magic of the 5 Elements.
As the warm cacao cascades through the body temple, we awaken to the dance of the elements — grounding into Earth’s embrace, kindling Fire’s passion, surrendering to Water’s flowing elegance, breathing the liberation of Air, and resting in Ether’s luminous stillness. Guided by the Five Elements, we dance as vessels of love and light — each step a prayer, each breath an offering to the eternal dance of life, rising in beauty.
Join us for a night the promises to be filled with Joy, Love and Magic.
MOVEMENT is dedicated to nourishing a culture of creative expression through music & movement that honors the sacred. Curating a deeply intentional, safe and sacred space to connect, play, celebrate and embody the Spirit of Love. By raising the vibration and dancing together in community, we thrive.
