San Antonio Self-Care Fair

The San Antonio Self-Care Fair is a DreamWeek wellness experience designed to restore, reconnect, and activate community well-being through intentional self-care and local engagement.

From 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, participants are invited into a morning of grounding practices, community connection, and exploration of holistic wellness pathways.

The experience begins with a guided sound bath, offering space for stillness, reflection, and grounding. This gentle entry sets the tone for a restorative morning focused on mindfulness and presence.

Next, attendees move into a light movement or breathwork session—featuring accessible practices such as Pilates-inspired stretching or guided breathing. These sessions are designed for all levels and emphasize mindfulness, mobility, and relaxation.

Following the guided wellness sessions, the event transitions into an open self-care market, where local vendors, practitioners, and wellness providers showcase products, services, and experiences that support whole-person well-being. This come-and-go marketplace encourages attendees to explore at their own pace, connect with local businesses, and discover new self-care practices.

At the core of the experience is the Self-Care Passport, a guided tool aligned with SAMHSA’s Eight Dimensions of Wellness—emotional, physical, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, financial, and occupational. Each vendor is intentionally aligned with one or more dimensions, helping attendees understand self-care as a comprehensive, interconnected practice.

As participants engage with vendors, their passport is stamped. Completed stamps unlock opportunities for giveaways and continued engagement through both physical and digital versions of the Passport, connecting attendees to wellness experiences across San Antonio well beyond DreamWeek.

The San Antonio Self-Care Fair celebrates self-care as both a personal practice and a community investment—uplifting individuals, supporting local businesses, and strengthening the collective well-being of the city.
