Welcome to a radiant retrospective of DOS's second set of live shows, an experience marked by friendship and self-discovery, held on June 24th and 25th 2023. The events unfolded at Studio C at Preserved, Amsterdam, an aesthetically pleasing space imbued with the natural beauty of flower arrangements by Yoko Negi and Salon Poisson. Our sponsor Geurwolkje ensured the air was filled with enticing fragrances, while The Spirited Junkies adorned the space with sparkling crystals.
Unlike previous events, these live shows transformed into full-day retreats, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in our vibrant community and connect with Coco and Widya. Before the deep-dive discussions began, there was an opportunity to shop for merch, including the now popular DOS sweater, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere under the beaming sun.
The day was abundant with creativity. Exclusive t-shirt prints were brought to life by Buz Zeefdruk, Tamara Bank offered insightful readings, and Doki Nails and wo_men salon provided delightful nail art and twinkling tooth gems. Culinary delights from 1001Kitchen and signature cocktails by Orfeo and Ralph tantalized taste buds while DJ Nems and Lashantiih spun tunes to match the radiant energy of the weekend. Our charismatic host, Felicia, navigated the proceedings, and Coco and Widya, resplendent in handmade Studio Nani attire, delighted in welcoming everyone. Each day of connection, laughter, and heartfelt Q&A sessions ended with a tranquil guided meditation by Dalila of Gyaldem. Studio Etty and Lina beautifully captured these unforgettable moments, and we invite you to relive them by watching the aftermovie on this page.
The live shows revolved around profound themes: 'Breaking It Down For You: A Spiritual Awakening' and 'Dating and Relationships: Breaking Dysfunctional Patterns.' The turnout was impressive, with 400 radiant souls partaking in the transformative weekend, forming new friendships and strengthening existing bonds. Coco and Widya are filled with joy and gratitude for the unforgettable moments shared, friendships formed, and personal growth experienced during these events. They bid farewell with warm hearts, excitedly anticipating the reunion with familiar faces and the meeting of new ones at the next DOS live shows. We can’t wait to see you there.
