2nd Annual Wine, Wisdom, & Wellnes

The “Hunger” Game of Emotional Wellness Spotlighted at 2nd Annual Wine, Wisdom, & Wellness Do you hunger for peace, happiness, and joy in your life? Many of us do, but we keep falling short and disturbing our emotional wellness and balance. Come enjoy a day of mindfulness to help us learn how to satisfy your "hunger" and understand the rules of the "game." On May 19, Karen Gomez, Holistic Life and Wellness Coach and founder of We Are The ONES Wellness and Coaching, will bring to life the Seven Dimensions of Wellness through an annual event she hosts at Chamard Vineyard in Clinton, called Wine, Wisdom, & Wellness. This event brings the importance of one’s physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual wellbeing to the community in a fun and relaxed setting. This year, Gomez collaborates with Beryl Bender Birch, widely acclaimed spiritual teacher, yoga therapist, and author of Power Yoga, Beyond Power Yoga, and Boomer Yoga, to shine the spotlight on mindfulness and how to feed our "hunger" for emotional wellness. This pampering day includes an introduction to mindfulness with a guided meditation walk in the vineyard and a gentle AM yoga stretch led by Gomez herself; a mid-morning breakout session, “Food For Thought – Stress and Emotional Eating” with Evelyn DeDominicis, certified Health Coach and Nutritional Consultant, from Nourished Path in Hebron; a lite bite casual luncheon prepared by Chamard Vineyard Bistro; and the afternoon keynote with Beryl Bender Birch, “Be Happy and Healthy One Breath At a Time.” The day concludes with a wine tasting of the French-inspired wines of Chamard Vineyard. Gomez focuses her practice on helping people make changes within their life in 90 days or less. She teaches her clients to use the modalities of yoga, meditation, Reiki energy healing, and transformational coaching techniques to enhance their personal development. This full day event is 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tickets are $150. For more details and registration, visit www.we-are-the-ones.com (Workshops and Events page) or call Karen Gomez direct at 203-906-8314.
