more than movement
In addition to the incredible lineup of movement, mindfulness, fitness and food, at the heart of this year’s WellFest are thought-provoking conversations and open discussions with overcoming adversity, sexual wellbeing, addiction and recovery all featured. Sarah King also comments “This year, we’re taking WellFest to a whole new level. We’re introducing new powerful perspectives and insightful honest conversations that delve deeper into the human experience. From stories of resilience, transformation to reclaiming personal power, we’re opening up space for raw, real, and necessary discussions, ones that go beyond wellness trends and get to the heart of what it means to live well. These conversations are designed to inform, empower, and inspire because wellness isn’t just about the body, it’s about the mind, emotions, relationships, and the way we navigate the world around us.”
