Another week has flown by and February is already here! Before you know it, it’ll be summer! So make the most of having time to attend all these awesome activities.

Whats coming up this week? Along with the usual abundant variety of yoga, dance and walking activities, some highlights include:

  • a mushrooms 🍄 running group

  • a certified barista course ☕️

  • a cute tattoo pop-up ☽♡

  • and some jobs that most people dream about 🏝️

Another week full of potential adventures awaits you…

And remember:
Key ingredients to happiness are social connection, being active, gratitude and kindness…
So if you do a couple of these activities with a warm heart and appreciation, you’ll be on the right track 🙂.
