Now in its second year, this wellness event brings together people from different backgrounds to explore how our cultures and life experiences influence the way we view health, prevention, and care. Many of us grew up without open talks at home about our bodies, health, or the importance of rest. This event is here to start those important conversations for women who need them.
Our cultural roots and stories shape how each of us approaches wellness, and this event celebrates those differences.
This half-day event takes you on a journey through three parts: Nourishment, Knowledge, and Replenish. Each part offers useful tips and meaningful experiences to take with you.
