Presence of Beauty in Pāhoa: A serene Thursday evening (June 25, 5 pm)

Can you feel it? A soft evening breeze, jasmine tea steam, guzheng notes in the palms

Ever wished your pau hana felt like a deep exhale? Presence of Beauty is that moment. Quiet, grounded, and somehow electric—like dusk settling over a Puna garden.

You’ll step through the gate, hear coqui begin their chorus, and feel your shoulders finally drop. Then the tea warms your hands. The music finds your breath. And movement feels like prayer.

What to expect

• ●Fine Chinese tea service to slow the mind and sweeten the senses
• ●Gentle Qi Gong to soften the body and invite ease
• ●Movement art to explore the space between stillness and flow
• ●Live guzheng music rippling through the palms—intimate, soothing, unforgettable
• ●Guided inner journeys held with care by Freely & Amanita

It’s simple and layered at once. Sip, breathe, sway. Let the garden hold you while the sun drifts mauka to makai.

The people behind the magic

Freely & Amanita are the quiet kind of maestros. They weave tea lore, somatic wisdom, and sound into a grounded container that feels safe and sacred. Their sessions attract a thoughtful mix of kamaʻāina and travelers who come to drop in, not perform.

The venue—Sunshine Sacred Sanctuary in Pāhoa—feels like it was grown for evenings like this. Soft paths, rustling palms, and the scent of plumeria at sunset.
