🌞 MANAWA SUMMER SOLSTICE FESTIVAL 🌞Saturday, 12 December 2026 | Piha, Auckland
As we move toward the height of summer, we gather beneath the long days and warm light to celebrate life, movement, connection and community.
The Summer Solstice is a time of expansion, abundance, joy and illumination.
For one beautiful day, we will gather in Piha for a fully immersive Manawa experience surrounded by nature, with the wild beauty of the West Coast as our backdrop.
Expect a day of:
💃 Ecstatic Dance & embodied movement
💗 Facilitated connection experiences
🎨 Creative expression & arts
🌿 Time in nature and space to simply be
✨ Ritual and reflection inspired by the Summer Solstice
🥗 Nourishing food and drinks throughout the day
🔥 Community, play, celebration and heart-led connection
This is more than a dance.
It is a day to move, soften, express, connect and celebrate being alive.
Manawa means heart, and this gathering is an invitation to return to yours.
Through movement, creativity, storytelling and authentic human connection, we create spaces where you can let go of what you are carrying, reconnect with your body and experience the nourishment of being held in community.
You do not need to be a dancer, an artist, or anything in particular.
Just bring a willingness to honour your heart and come with curiosity.
Tickets are capped at just 70 people.
