Manawa Ecstatic Dance, Mini Festival

Manawa Mini Festival – A Night of Movement, Music & Community Saturday 30 August | 6-11pm | 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. 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 www.manawa.one
