vaeu
women's half-day retreat
We're speculating on some possible core contributors to a new VAEU of what constitutes being well. "Diet and exercise" are obvious areas of focus, however, we think being well has more to do with overall vitality, aliveness, and wholeness in life from a creative combination of self-care.
COMMUNITY
25 Womxn Exploring six areas of well-being through expert-led activations, workshops, and conversations. We've curated this experience to kick us off and have the intention that the conversations and ideas that arise will lay the ground for future VAEU community events and resources. You're invited to contribute your own personal experience, ideas, and requests for what would make a difference in your being well.
