Healing With Cheese
🧀✨🧘♀️🍇 We came together to honour Mental Health Awareness Month alongside Bonanza Bites & Boards. It was a day filled with yoga, delicious bites, and genuine connections, offering a much-needed break from life’s hustle. The event, hosted with warmth and sincerity, provided a sanctuary for those seeking solace and rejuvenation.
A highlight of the day was a captivating keynote by our esteemed Unsinkable speaker, Asante Haughton, who shared profound insights on mental well-being. Guests left with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience, inspired by his words.
As we reflect on this experience, let’s remember to start each day with mindfulness. Consider asking yourself these three questions every morning:
• What do I appreciate most in my life?
• What is the most important thing that I get to do today?
• What quality do I want to embody out in the world?
