Hudson Valley Summer Wellness Festival
Using the arts as a catalyst for joyful community-building, Summer Wellness Festival provides support for the mental health and well-being of children, teens, and young adults in the Hudson Valley. Summer Wellness Festival will be an intimate one day event made up of various local organizations and dance studios, each dedicated to the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of youth in the hudson valley.
Participants experience a myriad of activities such as yoga, meditation, holistic health and wellness workshops, and guided nature tours, while enjoying performances of live music, poetry, dance, trapeze, and aerial flight. Additionally, a selection of mind-body therapies and resources will be offered by health practitioners: massage, spa treatments and info sessions with counselors and mental health advocates.
This event is produced by The Vanaver Caravan's Youth Company, in collaboration with Stone Mountain Farm, the Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival, Maya Gold Foundation, and Rise Outside Collective, and more!
