Music from the Great Room

Polestar is a magnet for sacred musicians from around the globe (a bunch of them live right here)! It does help having 20 gorgeous acres in the rural Puna district of the Big Island.

As you walk into Polestar’s community center there is a very big wonderful room that serves as our community center, dining hall, living room, playroom and concert hall. It happens to have fabulous acoustics for music.

Leraine and Shen – March 25, 1015

Kai from Polestar attended a solstice retreat near Salt Lake City, Utah and was graced to attend a retreat where Leraine  and Shen were core musicians and workshop leaders. On their recent tour of the Big Island, they joined us for Wednesday kirtan, dinner and then an impromptu after dinner musical event. We luckily caught the songs, recording on an iPhone!
