Nourish Whistler Wellness Series

Whistler, B.C. – The Nourish Whistler Wellness Series kicked off this past weekend with an exceptional line-up of experts, thought leaders and vibrant wellness events and continues over the next three weekends until June 23.

On Saturday morning, guests enjoyed a calm morning bird walk around Alta Lake, guided by the Whistler Naturalists Society, followed by Tai Chi at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre. On Sunday afternoon at Wedge Mountain Lodge & Spa, attendees explored holistic well-being and learned secrets to pain relief with Creekside Health practitioners, renowned in both Eastern and Western medical traditions.

“From insightful speakers to culinary experiences and nutritious meals to movement classes, and arts events and farmer’s markets, there are plenty of opportunities to inspire and nourish mind and body this spring,” says Bree Eagles, Manager of Events at Tourism Whistler, about Nourish, now in its second year, at which attendees can customize their own wellness schedule.
