Here are 18 Big Island spiritual & wellness experiences this week (Aug 18–25)

Feel the mana this week

The trade winds are soft, the plumeria scent hangs in the air, and the island is humming. Ever let a gong wash over you as the stars come out? Tuesday’s Kundalini Reset Gong Sound Bath at Seaview blends gentle breath with a therapeutic gong that ripples through your whole being.

Two nights later, the palms at Sundari sway while Buddhist teacher and soul singer Kid Beyond guides a heart-opening journey. Boundless Love: Meditation + Song Ceremony with Kid Beyond in Pāhoa feels like prayer set to melody — a quiet glow you carry home. There’s also a separate Kid Beyond at Boundless Love appearance this week.

Don’t-miss moments for your soul

If the Andes have been whispering to you, Saturday is potent. Mu Garden Sanctuary hosts the deeply rooted Andean Ceremony with Victoria Maná and the companion Awary Misay: Ceremony of the Andes — circles to remember your place in the great weaving.

Craving medicine through movement? Breathe in at 6:45, then dance it all out with Key Dance with Teaa Rexx at Garden Temple. Kanaka are always free. Or slide into the late-night shimmer at Free Key Friday — Venusian Fridays Ecstatic Dance, where women dance free and fruit offerings are welcome.

Prefer mat-time medicine? Buddhi Yoga at Kalani is high-energy and cathartic, with breathwork and explosive music to move stuck energy. Then ground into grace with Roots of Yoga with Marcia and soften into your weekend at Yoga with Serenity: Gentle Hatha Flow — all at the jungle-lush Kalani.

Vibes for every path

Sound medicine sings on both ends of the week — begin with the oceanic pulse of Kundalini Reset Gong Sound Bath, and close with community song at Medicine & Music Circle along Kalapana Hwy. Feel like letting your voice fly? The Ecstatic Vocal Improv Workshop in Kalapana is a temple of sound, location revealed on registration.

Ready to deepen your channel? Saturday brings attunements and hands-on learning with Holy Fire Reiki Level One (In-Person) and the companion Holy Fire Reiki Level One Class. For heart-forward community, arrive with open palms to the Mandalas of Love Community Gathering (In Person) — a weekly circle to be seen, heard, and uplifted.

See you in the circle

Bring water, a light layer for those mauka breezes, and an offering for the land or altar where appropriate. I’ll be the one swaying under the palms, eyes bright, heart wide open.
