So far the 2020s have been, understatement of the century, a lot. We’re worn out, lethargic and our mind and bodies are craving some TLC. Before slinking off to a hedonistic weekend in the Balearics or booking that four-years-in-the-making road trip around the US, we’re securing a spot on a much-needed wellness retreat.
Forget green juices and white robes, we’re spotlighting the next generation of wellness that focus more on community and connection than intermittent fasting. We’ll also be joined by Artah founder and former Psycle CEO Rhian Stephenson who shares her transformative travel experiences, how we can extinguish the flames of burnout and what the future of wellness looks like.
So, who's joining us?
We’d love to know where you’re going next and how you think the travel landscape might change as lockdown restrictions ease.
