upcoming events
This is who we are.
Since 2014, the Groove has been celebrating movement, music and community in intimate gatherings around the world. Each unique event brings together international and local movement educators, musicians, artist, speakers and participants in a shared experience of connection.
The Groove creates a space to celebrate communities of families and friends, local communities, communities of yoga, communities of love networked across Canada, Germany and beyond. The Groove honors the relationship between these human communities and the local traditions that have sustained them, the relationship held between cultivating livable environments and nourishing a healthy soul.
The Groove welcomes all bodies of all ages to gather in dynamic movement, music and creative play.

2016 + 2017Köln, Germany
We rise by lifting others. When we think of The Groove, we think of all your hands. The hands that helped us built our first festival in Canada, the hands that reached across the ocean and carried the idea to Germany. Hands that turned into wings in Flightschool, hands that restored and soothed in Thai Yoga Massage. We think of hands clapping, hands clasping, hands joining and then parting, hands waving goodbye—auf Wiedersehen—until we meet again.

2016Hvar, Croatia
We laughed. We moved, we sang, we danced in the rain, we baked in the hot sun, we snuggled, we connected, we prayed, we cried. But mostly we laughed. Overwhelming gratitude to each and every one of you who supported the magic with your teaching, your music, your helping hands and your joyful participation.

2015Goa, India
Thank you for sweating it out on your yoga mats, for shaking it out at 8:00 in the morning, for laughing and singing and drumming into the night. Thank you for being open-hearted and generous and silly with us, for stepping up to new experiences and melting into stillness. Thank you for the sweet moments, the spicy moments, the quiet moments, and all of the moments in between.
