Featuring incredible speakers in the wellbeing space, the day will include a morning movement session, expert-led talks, a delicious brunch and more!
September always feels like the start of a new year – the perfect time to pause, reflect and realign before business begins again. The IMAGE Wellness Project live invites you to do just that by spending a very special day with us this September 15 at Anantara The Marker Dublin. Join us for a day filled with real inspiration, expert-led sessions, and a chance to recharge yourself and ready for the remainder of 2024.
Start the day with a morning movement session led by Olympian and former Love Island contestant Greg O’Shea. Cool down with welcome teas, coffees and juices before settling in for a deep dive conversation about the power of mindset between Greg O’Shea, Denise Kenny Byrne (co-founder and CEO of The Head Plan), and IMAGE editorial director, Dominique McMullan.
Next, clear your energetic field in preparation for the super harvest full moon during a Shamanic drumming meditation led by Christine Higgins. After a delicious brunch, listen to wellness experts Peigín Crowley (founder of GROUND Wellbeing), Thomas Coleman (sleep coach and health scientist), and Oonagh O’Hagan (pharmacist and MD of Meagher’s Pharmacy Group) chat with Dominique McMullan about the importance of a good night’s sleep, and how to ensure you get what your body needs. Close off the afternoon by balancing and regulating your nervous system in a breathwork session with health, wellness and behaviour coach Becca Gillan.
This is your moment to reflect, breathe, and enjoy some well-deserved time out. We can’t wait to see you.
