5:00pm CDT

WOTW KICK-OFF 💙 Community. Connection. Creativity.

Thursday May 8, 2025 5:00pm - 6:30pm CDT

Welcome to the 2nd annual Wellness on the Water! Join us for a warm and inviting experience where you can enjoy a post-travel stretch, connect with the community, and engage in Nature's Kaleidoscope as we skillfully create nature mandalas together. Using natural materials like leaves, stones, flowers, and twigs, we'll come together to design mandalas that symbolize unity, harmony, and balance. This mindful activity fosters a deep connection with nature and each other, encouraging relaxation, reflection, and a sense of communal creativity. Let the beauty of the natural world inspire your artistic expression and leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected. No prior experience, just bring your open heart.

Yoga Nidra 🛌 Magic

Saturday May 10, 2025 8:30pm - 9:30pm CDT

Heart

Experience the deep, restorative magic of Yoga Nidra—a practice accessible to everyone, no matter your experience level. Whether you struggle with letting go, sleep difficulties, burnout, trauma, or anxiety, this guided journey into deep relaxation offers profound healing and a greater connection to yourself. Yoga Nidra invites you into a state of effortless rest where the mind slows, the body unwinds, and the nervous system resets.
Research shows that while meditation and Yoga Nidra both help reduce stress and anxiety, Yoga Nidra may be even more effective in easing both cognitive and physical tension. This ancient yet increasingly popular practice is a gateway to inner peace, renewal, and profound self-discovery.
You’ll be lying down the entire time, fully supported in comfort. We have a limited number of yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets available, but feel free to bring your own, along with a pillow if that enhances your experience. Dress in soft, cozy layers so you can fully surrender into relaxation.
