Free Wellness Day: Seasons of Change

Join us for a free community day of wellness, creativity, and connection at InTouch & Motion!

We are always cycling through moments of change, finding ourselves over and over as we let go of what was and embrace what is - Today is for you!

Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to explore mini sessions and group experiences led by trusted wellness professionals - each designed to help you recharge, reflect, and reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit.

Whether you stay all day or stop in for an hour, this is your space to slow down and rediscover what feels good.

• Mindfulness and Body based meditation
• Sound baths & breathwork
• Myofascial Release techniques
• Creative art exploration
• Panel discussion on experiences of grief
• Rituals and art-making exploring love, loss, letting go and leaning in
