D-Light Wellbeing Day
On 15th October, we will host the first ever Wellbeing Day in the North Inner City right here in D-Light Studios!
D-Light Studios and The Five Lamps Arts Festival have joined forces along with support from the NEIC to present a special one day yoga and wellbeing festival to take place in D-Light Studios in the heart of Dublin 1 on the 15th of October.
We will have something for everyone of all ages to enjoy! This unique event will offer yoga classes, mandala workshops, cacao ceremonies, relaxation, sound baths, dance, panel discussions, refreshments and for our youngest visitors we will have a supervised art zone! All this and more!
It's an opportunity for you to reconnect with yourself, breathe deeply, stretch your body and expand your mind. Bring your tribe.
