Manawa Ecstatic Dance, Mini Festival, 6-11pm, 20.09.25
Manawa Mini Festival – A Night of Movement, Music & Community
Saturday 20th of September| 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 ambient 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
DJ Wenyi
A rising force in the conscious dance and electronic music scene, DJ Wen YI weaves deep tribal beats with a soulful, intuitive flow.
Her signature sound blends Afro House, djembe-inspired elements, and Latin rhythms — crafting journeys that ground, elevate, and stir the soul.
Inspired by 5Rhythms, Wen YI guides us through emotional landscapes — from earthy stillness to ecstatic release — inviting you to drop out of your mind, into your body, and into the pulse of the moment. Known for her magnetic presence and instinctual mixing style, she creates safe, expansive spaces where you can reconnect with yourself and the collective.
