Thank you for your patience and support during this uncertain time. Group events are not currently possible but we are excited to announce our Wellness 1st SOLO & DUO Events this summer.

Our first confirmed event will be July 14-18th in Burnaby @ Michael J. Fox Theatre.

At this time we are awaiting the possible re-opening of theatres in Penticton and Vernon in hopes of offering events in one, or both, cities and will update this page as soon as we have news.

July 28 – July 31, 2020 Vernon

While these events will be different, we are committed to offering the value and inspiring atmosphere you expect from our all of our events while placing the wellness of our community at the forefront.
