Two Noteworthy Events: Cancer Alliance Network Fundraiser with the Naples Brunch Club at Dusk at the Ritz-Carlton and the September Wellness Triathlon

Wellness Triathlon

On a bright and sunny September morning, the Naples community came together for a special event that combined wellness, fitness, and a touch of inspiration. The Wellness Triathlon, hosted by City Lifestyle Naples and the Blue Zone Project, took place at the beach with Naples Pier in the background, setting the stage for a day of healthy intentions and networking.

3-Mile Beach Walk with Sara Casanova

At 8:00 am, the event kicked off with a 3-mile beach walk, led by the enthusiastic Sara Casanova. This walk not only promoted physical activity but also served as a conduit for networking, making new friends, and catching up with old friends.

Yoga Session with Marta Campanella and Sound Healing with Monica Fuentes

Following the walk, yoga mats were rolled out on the sandy shore for a rejuvenating yoga session led by Marta Campanella. The gentle sound of the waves provided the perfect backdrop for participants to find their inner peace and balance.  Monica Fuentes finished off the yoga session and led us into meditation with the healing sounds of her sound bowls.

Meditation with Maria Felipe

With a focus on mindfulness and mental clarity, Maria Felipe guided attendees through a meditation session that left them feeling refreshed and centered.

The Wellness Triathlon not only encouraged physical fitness but also emphasized the importance of mental and emotional well-being.

Healthy Intentions and Networking

After the triathlon's activities came to a close, participants were invited to enjoy a special brunch at Urban Meditation. The event was graciously sponsored by The Board House, providing brunch and bubbly to refuel the participants. As a highlight of the brunch, Maria Felipe, author of "Live Your Happy," made a special appearance for a book signing event, inspiring all with her wisdom and positivity.

To sweeten the deal, attendees were treated to a 30% discount on Urban Meditation's retail items and meditation services.

Sponsors and Appreciation

The Wellness Triathlon was made possible through the generous support of sponsors, including Wintrust Banking Center, Liquidvida, Urban Meditation, and the Blue Zones Project. Their contributions ensured that the event ran smoothly and successfully, leaving attendees with a memorable experience and a renewed commitment to their well-being.

In closing, the Wellness Triathlon, organized by City Lifestyle Naples and the Blue Zone Project, was a testament to the community's dedication to health and wellness. The event not only promoted physical fitness but also offered a space for self-care, meditation, and inspiration, all against the beautiful backdrop of the Naples beach. It was a day where mind, body, and soul found harmony, leaving participants with a sense of well-being and gratitude for their vibrant community.
