As the golden leaves fall and the air cools, we gather to honour the closing of the autumn season — a time of slowing down, letting go, and turning inward. 🍂
This special evening is a chance to dance through the last whispers of autumn together. To move, reflect, release, and reconnect before winter calls us deeper into rest.
Let’s celebrate all we’ve lived and learned in these past few months — and prepare to enter the next cycle feeling grounded, open, and full of heart.
Expect a nourishing journey that starts slow and ends in celebration:
🧘♀️ Guided meditation & gentle yoga to land in your body
💃 Ecstatic Dance journey with DJ Mathias
🎉 After-party with DJ Morpho
🍵 Delicious warming chai included
This is more than a dance. It’s a space to breathe, to feel, to express, and to play.
Whether you come to move through something or just to move — you’re welcome just as you are.

At Manawa, we’re on a mission to build a community without judgment or competition. Instead, we want to create an environment filled with love, kindness, and respect towards oneself and others.
Our events are all about self expression through ecstatic dance and the arts connecting us to ourselves, to be guided by our hearts, we belief that each of us has a unique heartbeat, connecting us through frequency and energy.
Together, we can create a space where everyone feels valued and heard, and where the heartbeat of the people is felt in every interaction, and where we arrive at the realisation that we are one with the world and the universe.
He manawa o te tangata. The heartbeat of the people.
