About this event
With Spring in full bloom and summer on its way, let's awaken and dance together, connect with its vibrant energy, and begin the day grounded, radiant, and alive ✨
We open a space for free movement, dance and connected breath – a space to celebrate life, connect, release and align.
Through movement, music, rhythm, and breath, we awaken ourselves, connect with our self, our senses and our body and awaken intentionally into our life force.
It's a space and time for joy, celebration, play, inspiration, transformation and for listening to what's alive in us and the world around us. We come as we are, and invite all of ourselves into the dance.
After our dance, we slowly transition into a silent, connected breath, followed by a warm, nourishing organic breakfast, herbal tea and if the weather allows, a moment to bathe in the sun. 🌞🥣

About Waiyu Wake:
Waiyu Wake Wageningen was born out of a love for the power, joy and magic of dance and free movement, a new initiative taking its first breaths in the coming weeks. We'll be exploring what rhythms and elements fit best, experimenting with different forms to see and feel what resonates, and find a way that is both sustainable and accessible for everyone.
Our aim is to make this a weekly practice, held twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We’ll start by building a core group — once there is sufficient support, we’ll move towards a regular schedule.
Waiyu Wake is an open movement practice where the intelligence of the moment leads, guiding you to move, breathe, rest, or release however you need. It draws from personal experience, movement medicine, ecstatic dance, somatic dance, breath-work, shamanic traditions, yoga, meditation and other traditions and modalities, woven into its own unique practice.
It's a practice that meets you wherever you are. A time and space to move freely, connect with yourself and others, and let whatever needs to move through you find its way out, whether that's joy, grief, or something unnamable. The practice is simple yet powerful. You show up, you listen, you move and let the magic happen.
Soft mats, yoga mats, shakti mats, yoga blocks and other supports will be available to use however serves you—whether that's resting your body, stretching deeper, or exploring new ways to move or release. Very welcome to bring your own to use or share!
Why Waiyu Wake:
Dance, shamanic dance and movement as medicine in general, and are ancient, powerful practices. They harmonise us on many levels: they cultivate physical resilience and ease, regulate the nervous system, align our energy, and connect us to spirit and life force. They invite us to explore, expand, play, and alchemise what we carry into embodied freedom and presence—a way to live with authenticity, to move with flexibility, and to meet life with creative resilience.
Waiyu and Waiyu Wake are part of the archaic revival—merging ancestral wisdom with modern life. Dance and movement as medicine were once integral to how we lived, and thankfully, they are finding their way back. Our intention is to support this growing movement and amplify this wave through weaving these practices back into our daily rhythm—by making them more available and accessible.
