Reimagine Routine: Integrating Health
An interactive event inspiring us all to integrate health holistically into our day-to-day lives. With panel discussion, experiences, and a marketplace highlighting over 25 local practices.
Well Connected Twin Cities is kicking off 2023 with a celebration of all things holistic and integrative health.
Specifically, we are celebrating the foundations of health. The tiny actions we do every day that has a massive impact on our wellbeing.
Choose to listen in on engaging discussions, participate in group experiences, take a small group class or perhaps just browse the local marketplace.
Celebrate Your Routine
Health isn’t gained or lost in days but accumulated over time in the daily habits that shape our lives.
This year, we encourage you celebrate the power in your everyday routine.
Because we know, little habits done daily are more effective than big changes done occasionally.
Designed to celebrate and empower you, start the year off strong and in community.
Whether you choose to kick back and listen to panel discussions or chose to experience something new, we guarantee you’ll feel the spark of inspiration you can put into practice tomorrow.
How this event works
This is a “choose your own adventure” kind of event. Meaning there are multiple things happening at once, giving you the benefit of choosing the one that most interests you.
Topic Talks are panel discussions hosted by local leaders in integrative health and local practitioners you might recognize. They are providing perspectives on the core foundations of health covered throughout the day: Energy Management, Intentional Meals, Rest, and Play.
Experiences are opportunities for you to try out techniques and experience the difference they make for you. This is a “try it on” option for discovery.
