You will explore how Toaist Principles and Tai Chi Movements can be implemented for the purpose of creating ‘flow states’ during moments of ‘work’ and ‘play’ during everyday life. The first workshop will explore basic movements and principles, the second a crash course in the Wu Style Family Short Form.

He will also demonstarte how to upload, manage and monetize your you tube videos. He also: runs his own youtube mincraft channel: BALLER _YT https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpz9Hso7XyQsnAdeQ1vFmbw  We are thrilled that ANNIKA WAGENHOFF will be coming to the MIX to teach us West African Dancing. Annika grew up in Germany and moved to Dunedin in 2007 to study where she discovered and fell in love with traditional and contemporary West African dance. In 2015, she joined Āwherika, a high-energy West African drum and dance performance group with members from all over New Zealand, and has performed and taught extensively since then. What she loves the most about teaching, performing, and collaborating with drummers is the connecting with people, creating community and sharing the joy and positive energy that dancing and drumming is bringing into our lives. BRING IT ON!!  The vibrant Amanda Dennis has recently devised an innovative new program called THINKING AND LEARNING BY DRAWING. We are very lucky to have her share it with us at the MIX. This workshop is one for all ages. She explains that by understanding your cognitive processes you will be able to draw what you see and become a self-motivated and creative thinker. Teaching in this way can really help anyone who has any sort of learning block. She can help you focus the relevant theme and content that interests you, and help you find your own creative voice. Magic!  We are proud and excited to announce that the very talented ALISON FOSTER will be joining us in the HEALING SPACE at the MIX.
Trained in Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Swedish massage, Reiki, Deep tissue, Sports massage, Acupressure and Chair massage Alison describes herself as an Intuitive Healer for the last 10 years. She explains: "My treatments are made up of a mixture of techniques specifically tailored to your needs. I may stimulate reflex points for a natural high or work deep into the muscles for relief from those dancing aches and pains. Sometimes I do hands off energy work to bring balance to a busy body and mind. My aim is to help you help yourself to be on the best form, today and into the future."  Proud to announce the Yexoese African traditional Drummers, which will be showcasing the very best performance of African traditional drumming and music in New Zealand, and reshaping traditional West African material with their own unique Aotearoa flavour. Bringing a selection of highly experienced drummers and singers together, to explode onto the stage with their own collective passion for West African moves and grooves. Koffie Fugah, the artistic director of Yexoese drummers, will be providing an opportunity for interactive teaching within shows.
A powerful, high energy show, which has been masterfully created to leave the audience gasping with enthusiasm for these gut-grabbing rhythms!  If you would like to learn how to sing songs from around the world then head to the workshop run by RICK LOOS. He will be using a call and response method which is so much fun. Come and find your voice! Look out for Rick in other places at the festival, he's offering treatments in the Healing Space and Qi Gong.  If you have ever wanted to try QI GONG, you will get a chance to experience a lesson with RICK LOOS at the festival. Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese form of medi tation in motion which relaxes and energises the mind and body. Through gentle movement, calm mental focus and deep diaphragmatic breathing you soon feel more relaxed and energised. Rick is a busy man at the festival so don’t miss the class and watch out for him in other places!  We are thrilled that the multi-talented RICK LOOS will be joining us in the HEALING SPACE at the festival. Rick uses a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and Tui Na (Chinese medical massage) to help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture also eases pain and reduces inflammation. Book early to avoid disappointment!

In addition to his Shamanic Dance workshop, we are also pleased to have Bob Hillary bringing his music to the Village Stage on New Years Eve. Bob is a folk singer-songwriter from the UK, who makes music that is Earthy, funky & positive, with a strong world music influence. He plays a fusion of folk, reggae, soul & world music blended into one sound.
He uses stomp box to make his beats, his wife sings beautiful deep harmonies and also plays percussion adding to the sound. He uses loops and dubs to fill out the folky sound adding a reggae dimension to it.
The sound is full, intricate & mellow dancey.
Groove along to the video and check out his website at: www.bobhillary.com
Tsūa - a solo project of multi-instrumentalist, producer and improviser Dan Antell (earth). Once described as a "musical madman channeling divine love - alchemicalization of light and dark...!?!". From singer songwriter post-folkrock to digital electric eclectic evolving soundscapes with musical inspiration drawn from all over space and time who knows what may come out. Now is our time - polarity transformed into both and more. "Healing, light in the darkness, harmony in the storm. Now, to gift what has been given"
"'Grounded Heart' Shamanic Dance Workshop. - a Funky Deep dance journey. I offer, with a mix of live and Dj'ed music, a guided journey for people to drop really deeply into themselves through music - to Ground people, take them back to their truest selves, open their hearts, and dance out their demons, and then out into their JOY, & then finally to a deep still meditational finish. There is a strong Shamanic element to the class. its like a mix of 5 rhythms and Shamanic dance. Very potent!"
