Yes, it’s true, I have found Shangri-la, and the most extraordinary venue for a wedding EVER!
Better yet, this glorious piece of paradise belongs to a friend of mine, so I can attest forth the outdoor chandeliers, the fragrance, the waterfall, the magic of it all!  I was just visiting her at Haiku Mill last week! It’s an old sugar mill converted now into a setting exclusively for weddings and private functions. The chandeliers, marble, statues, pots, and other objects of desire have been imported from romantic destinations such as Paris, Venice, Vienna, and India to create a true heaven on earth. Located just above the ocean on the majestic Haiku road in Maui, if one’s taste is for decadence and lush outdoor fragrance, I suggest you give it a whirl! www.haikumill.com

Wow! I was so blessed last night, to be able to experience the power and healing of Krishna Das and his Kirtan at the Studio Maui, up in the hills of Haiku, Maui. Judging from the winter attire the picture above looks like it was taken at the St.Andrews Wesley Cathedral in Vancouver BC, where I am from, the clothing at the concert here in Maui was quite different! It was a room of tanned, healthy, shiny looking people, just in from a day of surf and frolick. The Studio Maui is a gorgeous new studio, with a full schedule of classes and workshops, nestled at 810 Hai’iku Rd. in the Marketplace. The bazaar beforehand boasted thalis of dhaal and a colorful assortment of clothing, bags and trinkets imported from India. We were a crowd of all ages, in a packed house chanting the many names of the Lord in Sanskrit in a call and response chantwith Krishna Das himself. Magical. Do yourself a favor and go see him when he is in your town, or when you are in his.
