Spanning across two days, on the
beautiful island of Maui, the Ua Noa festival will not be
organized like a traditional event. All the talents and
resources of the guests will be put into action, creating an
environment that is cocreated by the people who attend.

Our intention with this event is
to give people direct experience of global
community in a way that recognizes their unique voice as a
vital piece of the puzzle.
We are not 'putting on a show' for
entertainment, but instead we are interested in seeing what
shows up, and recognizing the amazing synergy that can occur
when intentional community self organizes.
It will be totally
interactive experience, with the structure of the event
facilitating on-the-go collaboration and exploration. There
will be interactive games, workshops and discussion, and some
performances and presentations, but exactly how it will look,
we do not know!
As we learn more about the people who
are attending, we will post more information about how we
expect the festival to look. Right now, like you, we are
waiting for the petals of this flower to unfold and reveal
their beauty.
On Saturday we’re hosting a smaller
event. It will be an opportunity for the guests who are
interested in participating to meet each other and connect,
and set the intention and vibe for the event the next day.
On Sunday is the big festival open to
the public. It will appeal to people from all walks of life,
all cultures, and all ages. There will be vendors selling
local crafts and food, and it will feature a performance from
the Izanai Dance Academy on the main
stage.
Joining forces to create this unique
event are organizations based in
San
Francisco, Maui and
Japan:
- New
World Group is a non profit organization exploring
accelerated learning, human potential and holistic planetary
strategies.
-
Izanai (meaning ‘Sacred Invitation’)
Dance Academy is a Japanese phenomenon that has
influenced over 7000 dance troupes.
- Beauty Engine- West Coast pioneers of
community building and event production. ‘Burning Man’
veterans, they are bringing a bohemian vibe to the festival
and instigating the collaborative, interactive approach the
festival is taking
