Self Care Summer
May 2022 - July 2022
A series of events centering mindfulness & community connection guided by expert practitioners in modalities like Sound Healing, Meditation, Breathwork, Yoga, and more.
The Optimist Collective developed the series program, sourced facilitators & location partners, created brand & marketing materials, forged gifting and food & beverage partners, promoted events to the Bay Area community, and oversaw all event details including run of show & logistics.
These intentionally curated events activated & breathed life into four locations across the city, including retail shops, (Saje Wellness, KIM+ONO Boutique), city spas (Redmint Wellness), and coworking spaces (Groundfloor Club). For our location partners, these events resulted in valuable business like retail sales post-event, service bookings, and conversions to memberships.
The Optimist Collective was proud to serve over 160 participants across this series of events in deepening connection - within themselves and with the community around them.
