This year, empower your healthy lifestyle with Embrace You W.E.L.L. Walks & Workshops!
Our culturally tailored Embrace You W.E.L.L. (Walk, Eat, Live, Lighter) Walks & Workshops is a grant-funded program designed to target obesity in the Black community with solutions, not statistics. Through new mindsets, training, and practical strategies we shift the focus from the scale to your overall wellness.
Our workshops are designed to help you heal your relationship with food and exercise and create personalized goals with a strategy that fits your life so you can live lighter in Body, Mind, and Spirit.
We are gearing up for another exciting season with a greater focus on in-person events! Register to get all of the latest news and be first in line for registration. In-person means limited space, so register while you can!
