The event was recently been endorsed by nurse, tenant organizer, mama, and Assembly Member Phara Souffrant Forrest. You may know her as District 57’s champion of Minority Mental Health Awareness! A life-long resident of Crown Heights representing central Brooklyn in the New York State Assembly since 2021, Phara is “Tired of luxury development, high rents, police brutality and an inhumane healthcare system.” From taking a whole community approach to disrupting gun violence, to helping Brooklyn residents organize for opportunities, transformation and solidarity – Phara Souffrant Forrest is a local community leader to lookout for.

Life is full of unmanageable stressors, particularly living in a noisy, polluted, crowded urban center like NYC. Not only is a full day of wellness in community a brilliant way to spend the last weekend of July – you’ll be able to network with local creators, wellness folks and learn about some of our sponsoring brands like Life Happns, the health supplement outfitter that sells doctor and nutritionist formulated herbal blends. Their products are not only created by a team of experts to deliver fast-acting results, but designed with overburdened urban dwellers like yours truly in mind. One of our wellness giveaways, CHILLAX: Stress Support, is a expertly formulated blend of bioavailable magnesium and nutrients to promote relaxation and calmness. Supporting both healthy nervous system function and alpha-wave activity in the brain, added skullcap and saffron positively impact mood and stress levels. A trusted and reliable source of stress-support, CHILLAX is a state of the art zen herbal blend that is gluten-free, THC-free and backed by neuroscience. I recommend using it as a supplement along with your daily embodied wellness practice.

Handmade with only the finest herbs, spices, roots, barks, and botanicals; Curious Elixirs elevate mind, body and soul. With absolutely no refined sugar involved, each sumptuous flavor is a collaboration between the company’s team of world-class bartenders, herbalists and food scientists on a mission to harness the healing power of plants. From botanicals that increases serotonin and dopamine, to the naturally anti-inflammatory properties of ginseng and turmeric, holy basil as stress relief and lovely plant-based aphrodisiacs (did someone say Summer of Love?) Curious brings you classic cocktails with a spicy, bohemian and wholesome twist.
