Other Considerations:
We have put together this special day as an opportunity to come together, learn, connect, and recharge. We request that you silence your phones and consider taking the opportunity to have a “digital detox” day. If you do need to use your phone please go outside of the event venue to do so.
We have an ambitious schedule in which we hope to cover a lot of information. We want to be able to answer all of your questions, but kindly ask that you reserve them until the end of the day during the Q & A panel time and not during the speakers presentations. Please feel free to send us your questions ahead of time info@cultivatingwellness.ca and we will pre-select a few for each presentation. Thank you.
A day of connecting with friends, making new friends, and sharing stories, is important to creating community. However, we recognize that there may be some participants who do not feel comfortable sharing, please respect their space.
The nourishing catered lunch will be gluten free, and free of most common allergens. Please let us know if you have any serious allergies we should be aware of.
In consideration of fellow participants please refrain from wearing strong scented products.
Thank You!
Cultivating Wellness wants to hear your Midlife Health Shift story. A very important purpose of ours is cultivating community. Part of creating community comes through our shared experiences and stories. We understand how important it is for women to tell their stories as part of their personal growth, and as a way of supporting one another. We invite you to share your menopause story. All entries will be posted anonymously on our community blog.
