Manawa Ecstatic Dance, Mini Festival, 6-11pm, 25.10.25
Manawa Mini Festival – A Night of Movement, Music & Community
Saturday 25th of October | 6:00pm – 11pm | Dust Palace, Ellerslie
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.
Community Hang over anbient music
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

Blase is an alchemist of frequency and his love for dance and embodiment translates through his music, complimenting the entire journey with highs and lows, making sure every movement possibility is explored.
You can expect a smooth dance wave with Ecstatic highs to deep bassy lows and everything in between.
Blase pays particular attention to the subtle energies of dance and is always sure to land the dance floor and its nervous system safely back to the Earth before closing.
