A gathering for all who love to dance their own dance
(or who feel they might!)

There is a timely wave of people in Aotearoa/New Zealand finding deep joy and unearthing their fullest potential through conscious movement practices.

 

If you're one of them or are curious to discover why conscious dance is a growing movement, then this gathering is for you.

 

Surrounded by natural beauty, create your own festival, choosing from a smorgasbord of cutting edge conscious movement and dance arising from Aotearoa/NZ.  

WORKSHOPS

CREATE YOUR FESTIVAL with 3 dance floors running every morning & afternoon. Choose your favourite workshops from an incredible selection!

Between dance sessions is yoga & guided relaxation and at night we gather for ecstatic dance & ceremony, or kick back and relax in the Chill Tent.
