Bio
Sky Makai is one the facilitators of the original Ecstatic Dance on Hawai’i Island.
A dancer at heart, Sky joined Ecstatic Dance at Kalani Honua in the early days when Ecstatic Dance was only a handful of people and unheard of – except as a concept in Gabrielle Roth’s seminal book: Maps to Ecstasy
Sky began providing opening music with Ecstatic Dance’s founder, Max Fathom. Later, Sky took part in the original Ecstatic Dance Facilitator workshops, becoming one of Kalani Ecstatic Dance’s core team of facilitators.
Staying true to the roots of Ecstatic Dance, Sky’s sets observe a distinguishable arc. These musical journeys pay homage to Gabrielle Roth’s influential practice of observing and moving through a “Wave” of musical selections. The practice involves considering how waves are inherent in all of nature; our life cycles, our relationships, and in our most intimate moments.
Sky’s musical journeys are designed to reach intense and energetic ecstasy while also encouraging introspection and emotional release.
We love Sky’s passion and dedication to our Ritual Community Movement Journey, his dedication to personal growth, and his love of helping others.
Today, Sky is a steward and resident Facilitator of Ecstatic Dance at Kalani Honua, having previously been co-founder of Ecstatic Dance at Honoka’a as well as Ecstatic Dance in Williams, Oregon.
In an effort to preserve the history this worldwide phenomenon, Sky created on an unofficial Ecstatic Dance Facilitator Guide: docs.google.com/document/d/1MeU3X…YT6IY/mobilebasic
