The second Saturday of June is fast approaching, and that means – for those of you who don’t know – Global Wellness Day is almost here! It’s time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and treat yourself. Rest is undermined in our modern working culture, but it cannot be emphasized enough how absolutely important it is. And it goes beyond simply putting your feet up and having an afternoon siesta. True restoration comes from a series of meditative practices where the mind and body are paid due attention, slowly and deliberately. This year’s theme – #ReconnectMagenta – encourages a deeper connection to self, nature and community.
Find our curated list of wellness experiences for you to indulge in this weekend, because we care and so should you.
