Rallying for wellness
It all began with an email, an inspiring thread that brought together individuals in the Mahurangi district with a shared passion for holistic wellness. From this humble beginning a remarkable journey unfolded over the last year and continues to organically evolve.
The intention was simple yet profound, to create a vibrant network of professional natural wellness services that would invigorate our local community. Amidst the challenges of recent years, an inspired idea took root, giving birth to the concept of a local community Wellness Hub; a haven for healthy options for the mind, body and soul. A place for people to come together, find support, explore and enhance well-being, guided by dedicated health and wellbeing practitioners.
Momentum grew and culminated in the hugely successful, inaugural Health & Wellness Expo held in July 2022 at Warkworth Town Hall. This marked the initial unveiling of the Wellness Hub. But the vision went further; a nexus of wellness, accessible to all. The collective effort grew with the forming of a Hub Collective, featuring practitioners from diverse backgrounds. Supporters rallied, giving rise to the "Friends of the Hub" initiative, uniting for communal wellness.
Early pop-up café meet-ups fostered community connections, yet people wanted more, especially to understand and experience the wellness modalities for themselves and their families. The Hub demystified wellbeing by offering monthly connection open days for conversations and free mini-therapy sessions starting in Matakana. The response was heart-warming.
Today, the Wellness Hub's story unfolds with dedication, chapter by chapter; a community rallying for health, embracing emotional wellbeing, bodily wellness, and prevention. The goal of the Hub’s core team is to create a permanent space where practitioners can offer guidance and natural therapies. The Wellness Hub's impact resonates, a story told through mini-sessions and shared experiences. The commitment remains, to enrich the community's wellbeing, one chapter and one session at a time.
The Wellness Hub warmly invites you to join them at their next Wellness Connections Open Day on Saturday 7 October at Warkworth Bridge Club, 2 Alnwick St, from 10am to 1pm and experience a free mini-session. Or head along to the next Wellness Day in Matakana on Saturday 4 November from 11am to 2pm.
Become part of this transformative journey, hand in hand, with your community. For more information contact Lindsay Best and Pamela Harland.
