2023 Summer Community Wellness Retreat Recap!
by Natasha Rentas - Team Village Connect
We did it! Last month, Inspire a Movement and Village Connect teamed up again to host our fifth Community Wellness retreat for our Lake Nona and Moss Park Community! A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors, presenters, exhibitors, and of course our enthusiastic participants! Approximately 60 beautiful souls returned back to the community with stronger connections and tools to reduce stress, and 11 local businesses featured their wellness expertise, products & services for use as ongoing support to their community members. We're eternally grateful to all of you. We could not have done it without each and every one of you. Let's take a look at some of our favorite moments below!
Ana Maruri shared a special moment after her Sound Healing Workshop
Rev. Ivan Gonzalez made us cry and learn to let go with the Lion King
Kevin Merrigan shared his QiGong skills to the tune of the FSU Fight Song
Chris lulled us into a state of tranquility during Violette Gibbs' Yoga Nidra
Once again, a warm thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, presenters, exhibiters, participants, and everyone who had a part in making this retreat a success! You all came together to establish a strong sense of community and serenity with each other. We hope that you take and apply the exercises and self-care techniques to your daily life, and you continue to treat your mind and body with love and care.
We hope to see you all at our next retreat: 2023 Fall Community Wellness Retreat on November 11, 2023 from 1:00-6:00pm at Spirit of Life Church in Moss Park.
