Manawa Ecstatic Dance, Mini Festival
Manawa Mini Festival – A Night of Movement, Music & Community
Friday 30 August | 5:30pm – 10:30pm | Tāmaki Makaurau
Join us for an evening of soulful connection, movement, and nourishment as we come together for Manawa’s next Mini Festival— a celebration of wellness, embodiment, and community in the heart of Tāmaki.
We’re building more than just events — we’re growing a community rooted in embodiment, living from the heart, self expression and compassion. This is a space to reconnect with yourself and others, and to explore what it truly means to live from the heart.
Our evening journey will include:
Yoga + Breathwork
A gentle practice to arrive fully in your body and prepare the ground for movement.
Ecstatic Dance (2-hour DJ set)
Let go and move freely in a safe, judgment-free space guided by deep, earthy beats and uplifting soundscapes.
Sound Healing
A soothing integration experience to rest, reflect, and settle the energy stirred through the dance.
Chai & Kai
Enjoy warming chai and nourishing kai in community — time to connect, share, and be held in warmth.
Live Music
We close with heart-opening live music to sing along, unwind, and celebrate the richness of being together.
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or brand new to the space, you're welcome here.
This is for anyone seeking deeper connection — to self, to others through movement and meaningful conversations.
Let’s cultivate a community where we live from the heart.
He manawa o te tangata.
The heartbeat of the people.
With love,
The Manawa Team
Alchemy has been forged in the Somatic Dance container, training with Blase and Sarsha Hope and discovering a deep love for creating healing soundscapes for people to move to.
Alchemy made her debut at NZSpirit in 2024 and has since played at various venues and events, including establishing Kerikeri Ecstatic Dance, which ran throughout 2024. She brings enchantment to the dance floor, merging music and movement to create an immersive self-expression experience. Her forte lies in organic tribal house, world music, deep bass, and high-energy EMD dance numbers—you can trust your body will be compelled to move when she unleashes her sound on the dance floor.
