Ekm do my people! Idem fo? I hope this announcement finds you well. I'm so excited to tell you that I have the absolute honor of presenting two Zoom classes this month on the 15th and 29th of December with two brilliant, inspiring, and charismatic spiritual practitioners and teachers. More details are coming soon but they will be provided on my spiritual practice's page: @spiritual_tantric_life ... Do follow me there for more updates and information. On the 15th of December we will be presenting: (The) Decorated Body: The Spiritual Science of Body Art. I will be making a separate, more detailed post about that on my other page HOWEVER I will be going on IG Live both here and on the Spiritual Tantric Life page throughout the week to briefly chat with different artists and spiritual practitioners regarding the topic of spirituality and tattoos, body painting and so on. I will post in advance of each Live so that you can know when to join me! Tag a tattooed friend, a tattoo artist, a body painter, someone with an affinity for piercings, a henna artist, someone with an affinity for scarification, a piercing professional, and anyone else who has an attraction to decorating the body in some way shape or form. It's currently 9 a.m. in Hawai'i and I will jump on Live (here on this page) at 1 p.m. HST/3 p.m. PST/6 p.m EST to talk more about what to expect during this week leading up to the class on the 15th. Also do check out the pages of these two extraordinary beings and do feel free to follow them as well: Blake Houston: @holisticb_ing Dainichi Lazuli: @dainichi_lazuli #bodyart #tattoo #piercings #bodypaint #tattooartist #scarifications #hennatattoo #facepainting #piercing #bodypainting #hennaartist #pierced #bodypainter #scarification_artists #hennadesigns #tattooart #piercingsofinstagram #stretchedears

Ekm do my people! Greetings from the Big Island of Aloha! I come with news of two amazing online experiences that are happening this November that I wouldn't want you to miss especially as I will be teaching at them both. This pandemic year has given us the opportunity to conveniently do many things that we otherwise would never have been able to do and attending a Tantra festival online is on the list! If you've ever been curious about what happens during a Tantr...a festival and what you'd come away with after but have never felt called to leave your home, get in a car or on a plane, spend hundreds to thousands of dollars and so forth because you just didn't know what value you'd receive in return, you now have the opportunity to get a taste of the experience and receive the education from wherever you are. The first up is happening in 6 days! The Heart of Tantra Festival which typically takes place in western Canada, will be online for you to participate in from November 12 - 17. Visit the website for more information: www.heartoftantrafestival.com . If you feel called to register after reviewing all the information, do make sure to mention me (Amaku) as the one who referred you at checkout! The next online educational experience after that will be the One World Tantra Festival which runs from November 20 - 27 and will feature over 100 presenters and 150+ workshops. You will have access to all of the recordings for 30 days after the festival has ended. Visit the website here: www.tantrafestival.online/Amaku I'll post more information about the workshops that I will be presenting on my page: @spiritual_tantric_life so do follow me there if you'd like to know more! I look forward to gathering with interested ones online during these two festivals and of course, I invite you to attend my workshops!

Currently accepting bookings for Afro-avant garde, Afro-futuristic, colorful Afro-camp, and/or Mami Wata/Mermaid style photoshoots in San Francisco during the first week of November! . . By the way, grand rising and Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii .... . My stay here will soon come to an end () and when I reach the U.S. I'll be arriving in California for a few days of artistic pursuits. I'll be touching down in San Francisco on November 1st and will be staying in Oakland for a very short few days and I'm seeking creatives and others who are interested in being painted, styled and costumed in hand-made masks, accessories and headdresses. For professional and aspiring models alike, it's ALWAYS a great idea to have a range of styles of images in your portfolio! But again, I'm offering this to every and anyone interested - adults, children, families, (groups of) friends, couples, colleagues etc... . . Please DM asap for more details! I will be in the Bay Area 3 days maximum before I have to head to Los Angeles! Pre-booking and scheduling need to be completed this October by the 30th but please don't wait until the last minute! Book early. I look forward to hearing from you! . . Feel free to share this and tag anyone you think would be interested. The majority of the proceeds from the shoots will go back to the Hawai'i-based artist who sources all of the materials for the masks herself which she also makes by hand.
