GREETINGS!

Welcome to the Dancing with Dom Foundation
A safe place for people who sometimes feel out of place.

We support mental wellbeing through connection, creativity, and community.
You are welcome here.

OUR STORY

The Dancing with Dom Foundation was created in memory of Dom Boyle, who died in 2023.

Dom loved music, dance, and spaces where people could be fully themselves. He also struggled with his mental health and often felt like he didn’t quite belong.

We created this foundation to honour his life and to support others who may feel the same way.

Our work turns grief into action — helping people feel less alone and more supported.

Why “Alien”?

Many people living with mental health challenges feel different or misunderstood — like they don’t quite fit in.

Dom loved alien imagery, and for us, “alien” represents that feeling of being out of place.

Here, it means something else too: belonging.

This is a place where difference is welcomed, not judged.

Earth Gatherings

Our Earth Gatherings bring people together through music and movement.
They may be large events or smaller community circles, but all are designed to be welcoming, safe, and inclusive.
All our events are drug and alcohol free.
These gatherings raise awareness of our work while creating spaces where people can connect and feel at home.
