Hello there and welcome back! 👋🏽
It’s only week #2 of our new weekly schedule, but I really love having more opportunities to connect with you. And this one is special…
Our newest wellness event lineup just dropped! This is one of my favorite series because I believe wellness practices really stick when experienced in community.
You already know the deal: we curate a list of wellness events happening across five major metros that you’re bound to love. This roundup will focus on events you can checkout now through January 2026. 🗓
I encourage you to attend an event on this list so that you can learn something new, make a friend, or just get out of the house… that’s a wellness hack, too!

Before we dive in, a quick word about an amazing Asian-owned tea and supplement brand that’s unlocking nature’s potential ⤵️
World’s Best Matcha finally On Sale
As the season speeds up, I turn to Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha for calm, steady energy and a natural, healthy glow. Crafted to be pure, potent, and antioxidant-rich, it delivers clarity without the crash. It’s the Pique ritual that keeps me grounded, focused, and radiant through the busiest time of year.
