Fed Square's Wellbeing Village

Overview

New season, new you? This month, you can blast away the winter cobwebs with some well-deserved self care, when VicHealth's Wellbeing Village descends on Fed Square for a weekend of nurturing and nourishment.

Running from Friday, August 26–Sunday, August 28, the pop-up wellness hub aims to inspire people to kick-start some new healthy habits — which of course is excellent timing as we all clamber reluctantly out of hibernation mode. It's hosting a hefty program of classes, workshops, talks and screenings; all of them free.

You can perfect the bend with a yoga class led by Lululemon or Cello Yoga, try guided meditation or a mindfulness walk, bust out your green thumb at CERES' workshop on growing veggies, or experience a sound healing session presented by the Peninsula Hot Springs team. All classes and workshops are free, but you're encouraged to reserve a spot online.

There'll be healthy eats galore when food trucks take over the Main Square on Saturday and Sunday, and expert-led chats on everything from urban farming to mental health throughout the weekend. And if you head along to the Bike 'n Blend stall, you can even jump on a bike to whizz up a smoothie using your own pedal power.
