Immerse yourself into 4 Days of Learning Universal Wisdom through the scope of Bana Kuma and applying it to Music, Dance, and Ceremony! Join Master Conductor Chris Berry in Creating, Learning, and Presenting a 'Prayer-formance' at Bana Kuma Oahu 2022! This multi-day Master Class with Chris Berry is highly anticipated every year. Song, dance, diverse instrumentation and ancient wisdom are seamlessly woven together as an offering to our ancestors and a celebration of our unique gift as a human to transform etherial thought into tangible reality. The culminating orchestration is a Prayerformance for the community. It is simply an unforgettable experience. No experience necessary, absolute beginners will be accommodated, and all are welcome!
August 5-8, 2022, in Waimanalo!
Throughout this experience we will gather as community in ceremonial setting.
