Mindfulness isn’t just about the mind. It’s also a practice of bringing our awareness back to the body, and finding a deeper presence in our physical form.

Ease into embodiment with this Zen and hula-focused embodiment workshop led by June Ryushin Kaililani Tanoue, a Zen priest in the White Plum lineage and a Master Teacher of Hawaiian hula dance. 

The cultural dance of hula, known as the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people, is seen as an embodiment of nature. The dancer becomes the motion of the wind through the trees, the waves on the shore, the life-giving rains, and the fragrance of flowers. Hula portrays this rich spiritual interdependence through mindful movement of hands, feet, and body. 

In this 75-minute workshop, you’ll explore a range of gentle movement and breath awareness practices—drawn from both the Zen and hula traditions—to help you experience the integration of meditation and dance.
