NOV 29th
SPEAKER
Patrick-Joseph
His primary base is breathwork, about which he says "Breathwork is connected to the physical, emotional, visual and spiritual aspects of our human nature and of our own healing properties that we all have within. The endless expansion of self-awareness is simply within your breath, so all you have to do is breathe for that ‘innerstanding’ of yourself that's always been within you to be expressed”.
Breathwork is the bedrock of Patrick-joseph’s ‘Breathe Trust Flow’. It is also the foundation of other work he does and projects he is involved in; he is a Level 2 Wim Hof Method Instructor, the founder of Moonstock, the founder of ‘Doing Me Thing’ Podcast, Co-founder of Anam Tuatha Soul Tribe, Co-founder of Men Rising Together, Breathwork facilitator, Cold water therapy facilitator, Cacao facilitator and Plant medicine facilitator; this is just some of the soulset ways that's shaped him today.
ARTIST
Deirdre Murphy
Deirdre is a musician and interdisciplinary artist. She grew up in rural Alaska with a profound connection to nature, and lived and travelled throughout the US before moving to Ireland. She is the creator of many original works of music, dance, theatre, circus, and performance art, including the circus musical “Capitalism: The Musical” (2017) which toured Ireland and Italy to sold out houses and has been translated into Italian.
Feb 28th
SPEAKER
Dr. Darragh Stewart
Psychedelics have the power to transform, change lives and bring about deep healing. They can connect us to the spiritual, mystical and universal consciousness. Through his own journey with depression and anxiety Darragh has become an educator and facilitator of altered states of consciousness for healing, connection and transformation. In this talk Darragh will share about the science and spirituality of psychedelics and will touch on the safe and sacred use of them as enthogenic medicines and using them recreationally.

Meeting Point supports and hosts a wide range of gatherings including workshops, talks, training, shows, socials, and much more, with special focus on holistic and creative practices. We believe that community is important and that when people come together to share ideas, knowledge and experiences, no challenge is too big.
Until recently, D-Light’s primary focus was on saving the building from re-development, cultivating creative businesses and holistic practices whilst supporting arts and culture as much as possible. We now have a thriving creative hub that welcomes everyone under one roof. Our vision is to open up this beautiful space to act as a ‘Meeting Point’ that encourages and supports the development of authentic relationships while bridging the arts and culture sector with our local community and friends.
