About us
A playground for the morning
An alternative to sweaty nightclubs and hangover-filled days. Free for everyone — whatever your background or age — to come together to the sound of electronic music.
“The first time I went to a morning rave, I thought, wow. It’s just like stepping into a nightclub at half past midnight.”
Why we do it
Open, safe, and sober
We don’t take something away. We create something else.
We build open, safe communities where everyone can be themselves — live, grow and develop. Our work is about preventing substance abuse by showing, every morning, how good a party can feel without it.
Our events are substance-free. That doesn’t mean we are strictly abstinent — we want to offer a different kind of alternative.
Politically and religiously independent.
Active leisure
Moving together is the best start to a day.
Social entrepreneurship & sustainability
Built to last, open for anyone to run.
Radical inclusion & diversity
Every background, every age, every body.
A morning with us
Four things make a Morning Beat
Morning yoga
Land softly
Educated yoga instructors close every morning. You can book them for your own sessions too.
The dancers
The energy is ours
The people who come create the energy — together. Every person on the floor adds to it.
The after effect
The afterglow
A high with no comedown. Carry it into your day and pass it on.
Two ways in
Morning Beat and MoveMakeMagic
Morning Beat
The gateway
Accessible, joyful, energetic. Dance in the morning.
MoveMakeMagic
The wider playground
Ecstatic dance, church gatherings, youth projects, experimental formats, retreats and more.
Beyond the morning
Our other concepts
Not everything we do starts at dawn. These happen later in the day, for those who like to sleep in or have little ones to get going first.
MoveMakeMagic
Dancing in church
A day where the church becomes a dance floor: movement instead of words, magic instead of sermons. No talking on the floor, no phones, no substances. At Sofienberg Kirke in Oslo.
MoonRise
A festival at Nesodden
In August 2025 we took the dance to Nesodden for MoonRise: a festival day of music, movement and community.
Out in the city
Dancing in the streets
We take the dance floor out into the city, onto streets, squares and parks, where anyone passing by can join in.
Coming
More to come
New ideas are on the way, like Mountain Beat in the mountains at Voss. The newsletter hears about them first.
Who we are
The team
Morning Beat is owned by Øyunn Iversen, who was part of starting it, and run by MoveMakeMagic AS in Oslo. But most of all, we are a community. The three who run it day to day:
Miwa
Co-founder, MoveMakeMagic
Miwa is an intuitive artist and trauma-informed somatic facilitator, weaving breathwork and de-armouring into her practice. She sees embodiment as a doorway back to the self — a way of remembering, through movement and presence. As co-founder of Move Make Magic, she creates transformative spaces where people can play seriously, express authentically, and meet themselves more fully. One of her guiding beliefs: life is meant to be a playful dance — and the more of you that shows up, the better.
Magnus
Co-founder, MoveMakeMagic
An experienced heart circle facilitator and a professional coach focusing on relationships and deep purpose alignment, Magnus is dedicated to holding and co-creating safe containers for authentic expressions, vulnerability and deep presence.
With a passion for compassionate non-conformity and a distaste for hierarchy and power abuse, one of his mantras is: We’re going nowhere until everyone feels safe.
Mayurathan
Co-founder, MoveMakeMagic
Mayurathan, also known as Mayu, is passionate about the inner journey — the ongoing exploration of the self, including the parts we know and those we’ve yet to meet. He sees this journey as a dialogue between our inner world and the outer one: how our hidden beliefs, emotions, and patterns shape our reality, and how life’s challenges and relationships reflect back opportunities for growth. Mayu loves to create welcoming spaces where people can explore with curiosity, presence, and a willingness to become more of themselves.
Anyone who wishes may use the Morning Beat concept for their own events. Each organiser forms their own organisation, with its own finances and organisation number, and runs local events in the spirit of Morning Beat: inclusion, health and community.
Morning Beat in your town
Start one where you live
Anyone who wants to start a Morning Beat may use the name and the brand freely. We only want one thing: Morning Beat everywhere <3 Write to us, and Øyunn and the team will help you through the start.
Dance, glitter and play <3
