Winter Wellness Challenge: Start the New Year with Intention and Connection
This January, GBIV is inviting neighbors to take part in our Winter Wellness Challenge—a fun way to jumpstart your personal wellness journey. The challenge focuses on physical, emotional, and social wellness and offers a series of simple welcoming activities designed to support well-being, sense of purpose, refection and community connection.
The challenge kicks off with Coffee, Tea & Conversation on January 8, offering a cozy space to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the year ahead. Throughout the next 3 months, participants can join a variety of wellness-focused activities including:
- Mindful Monday Meditation, (virtual and beginner-friendly) for a few minutes of calm and grounding
- Walking Wednesday, neighborhood walk focused on fresh air, gentle movement, and friendly conversation
- Mahjong Class, sharpen your mind while learning a popular strategic game
- Gentle Yoga, relax your mind and body through breath and gentle stretching
- Game Group, engage your mind, reduce stress, and connect with others
- Knitting Group, learn new techniques, unwind, and share creativity with others
- Gratitude Journal, learn a simple practice to boost mood and perspective
- And many more…
Each activity is low-pressure, and most are free, and open to all (no special experience or equipment required). Whether you join one event or many the Winter Wellness Challenge is about small, meaningful steps toward feeling more connected, balanced, and supported this winter.
