Can wellness elements make your next major meeting or retreat more inspiring and effective? Can you encourage a spirit of collaboration and connectedness among key colleagues while also accomplishing the primary work agenda of a meeting or event?
Some companies think so, like Caesars Entertainment, which now offers an expanded menu of mindful wellness options for meetings and events at its resort properties. We’re proud to have been selected as a provider of holistic wellness programs for Caesars.
Body & Brain has been a leader in health and holistic wellness, unique for our signature blend of traditional Eastern mind-body energy principles with insights from modern neuroscience. Over the past 20 years we’ve had the privilege of supporting many organizations from the public and private sectors with customized wellness programs. Whether on an individual level or across an organization, we believe that real transformation and sustainable wellness begins with harmony between mind and body.
Here are three good reasons to include time for wellness experiences in your program for business meetings on-site and at conferences, conventions, or retreats:
The Body & Brain holistic approach to “ work-life balance” is first to develop balance internally so that all aspects of life are healthier and happier. It&rsquo's a mindful practice based on body-brain integration aimed at connecting with yourself and learning how to resolve stress - an important skill set for avoiding burn-out.
When you develop your own internal balance and reduce feelings of stress, it’s easier to grow your capacity to connect and collaborate with others.
Connection and collaboration are often the desired or assumed outcomes of a conference, convention or retreat program - but without intentionally guided experiences, these outcomes may be left to chance. Allowing time for guided activities that develop empathy can be a good way to foster and expand lasting collaboration skills.
"We help groups do things they couldn’t do before without a human, heart-level connection…. The true source of DEI is empathy, which we focus on." - Dami Kim, Director, Body & Brain Wellness
Ultimately, organizations need their members at all levels to stay well to be effective. Body & Brain Wellness services are oriented toward empowering participants to take charge of their physical and emotional health, see themselves with new awareness, and acquire self-care skills that they can practice for sustained wellness.
If you think your organization could benefit from some intentional wellness time in an upcoming program, Body & Brain Wellness can help. Offerings include:
Whatever program you choose, we’ll help you find the best activities to fit your agenda and desired outcomes.
“Yes, it worked for me…. With a true New Yorker’s skepticism, I had little to no faith in auras, vortexes and even meditation. I’m all in now. I feel lighter, energized, relaxed and focused…. In retrospect, I realize I needed the reset. Don’t we all?” - Loren G. Edelstein, VP Content Director, NorthStar Meeting Group, Apr 2024
“I started my Body & Brain Wellness retreat experience in Sedona completely burnt out, looking for the end of a tunnel I was convinced I’d never find…. I learned that even the hardest of hard workers can work too hard….Body & Brain Wellness experiences helped me admit that I love my job more than I love myself - and how that could be a problem.” - Taylor Smith, Content Developer, Meetings Today, Apr 2024
“As the days unfolded, I found myself immersed in a profound sense of well-being and inner peace… I felt a deep sense of connection to myself and the world around me. The retreat provided me with the tools and practices needed to cultivate a more balanced and peaceful life. I find that this aids me greatly in both my work and my personal life, which directly impacts my health and ability to create and succeed.” - Reina Herschdorfer, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Caesars Entertainment, Apr 2024
