• Connect, Laugh, Learn & Dance – A Celebration of Joy and Belonging

    This World Mental Health Day (October), let’s come together to lift our spirits, strengthen our wellbeing, and celebrate the power of connection!
    We all know stress, isolation, and disconnection can weigh heavy on our mental health—but joy, laughter, movement, and community are some of the best medicines. That’s exactly what this workshop is all about!
    What’s in store:
    Inspiring Talk on Mental Health with Karen O'Sullivan – Discover simple, powerful tools to strengthen your mental health, boost your mindset, and reconnect with yourself.
    The Magic of Laughter with Deborah from Be Well With Deborah – Learn how to use laughter as a natural stress-buster, mood-booster, and a playful way to connect with your inner joy (and with others!). Expect calming breathwork, easy practices, and plenty of giggles and laughter.
    Ecstatic Dance with NatMac – Feel the music, let go, and move freely! Dance is a proven way to raise your spirits and reconnect with your body. No experience needed—just bring your energy (or curiosity!) and move at your own pace.
    Community & Treats – We’ll wrap up with light bites, snacks, and time to mingle with your new connections.


    Why join?
    Because you deserve to feel good, laugh deeply, move freely, and belong to a supportive, joyful community.
    Open to all ages, genders, fitness and mobility levels. Come exactly as you are—whether you want to move big, move small, or simply soak up the good vibes.
    Let’s laugh, learn, and dance our way to joy and connection together!
