Manawa 2nd Birthday Celebration

Manawa’s 2nd Birthday Celebration Two years of dancing from the heart We’re turning two, and you’re invited to celebrate with us. After a full year of movement, music, and community at the Dust Palace, we’re gathering for a special night to honour what we’ve built together through rhythm, connection, and shared presence. This isn’t just a party. It’s a moment to pause and feel into everything that has moved through this space over the past two years and to celebrate it with our bodies. What to expect Doors open at 5.30pm We will have cacao lounge open for connection before the start of the event. Open Circle at 6pm Please arrive before the open circle so we can all gather to set intention of the evening together. Breathwork & Yoga (45 mins) A gentle landing into your body. A chance to arrive fully, soften, and settle into the space. Ecstatic Dance (90 mins) — DJ BLASE BLASE will take us on a deep, flowing journey through tribal rhythms, earthy bass, and melodic waves. Expect movement, release, stillness, and joy, a full-spectrum dance to celebrate life and connection. Sound Healing (40 mins) A closing to integrate the experience. Rest, receive, and let everything settle. Vegan dessert + chai (included) Time to share food, stories, hugs, and connection with community. Tickets: $40 Early Bird (until July 30) $45 General About Manawa: Manawa Ecstatic Dance is a space to move without judgment, express freely, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body. No steps. No expectations. Just presence. Two years in, we feel deeply grateful for the people who have made this community what it is. Every dancer, every moment, every breath on the floor has shaped this journey. We can’t wait to celebrate it with you. He manawa o te tangata — the heartbeat of the people. With love, The Manawa Team
