Clare Local Development Company Launches Free Wellness & Healthy Living Workshops in Ennis

Clare Local Development Company (CLDC) is inviting adults in the Ennis area to take part in a series of free wellbeing and healthy living workshops this February and March, delivered under the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP).

The Ennis Library Winter Wellness Series includes three stand-alone workshops designed to support mental wellbeing, confidence, and personal development. Participants can attend one or more sessions, subject to eligibility and registration.

The series begins with “Mind Your Self” on 10th February, focusing on mindfulness, journaling, meditation and breathwork to reduce stress and improve mental clarity. This is followed by “Move More, Feel Better” on 17th February, which explores gentle yoga, chair yoga and breathing techniques to support mood and overall wellbeing. The final session, “Vision Board Workshop” on 24th February, offers a practical and creative approach to goal-setting, helping participants identify achievable steps towards personal, health or career goals for 2026.

In addition, CLDC is running a four-week “Cooking on a Budget” course in Ennis, taking place from 12th February to 12th March, from 10am to 1.30pm. The course supports participants to cook healthy, affordable meals from scratch, plan weekly meals, reduce food waste, and make savings on household food bills.

All workshops are free of charge, but eligibility and registration apply, and places are limited.
