from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 September, we played host to wellness inspired events as part of the annual World Wellness Weekend.

World Wellness Weekend is a global celebration of wellness, encouraging individuals to participate in activities that inspire and elevate a shared commitment to cultivating a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. Rooted in the belief well-being encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual influences, this weekend is a platform for individuals to engage in activities that uplift and nourish every aspect of their lives.

We are thrilled with the events that took place over World Wellness Weekend and are humbled to be acknowledged as the world's Most Active Hot Spring for two years running.

Across three days, Peninsula Hot Springs offered a wellness program which included Yoga, Sauna Infusion workshops, Fire and Ice workshops, Tea Ceremonies, Meditative Bathing Ritual’s, and our signature Hot Springs Yoga. Complimentary Apothecary workshops were also offered in our Food Bowl led by our expert aromatherapist Margret Flower who shared her extensive knowledge of aromatherapy blending to give an authentic and meaningful experience that was enjoyed by over 40 guests during the course of the weekend.

Sleep Support tinctures and tonics were the focus for the weekend, the first in a series of new apothecary workshops that link to our pillars of wellness. Sleep Support invited our guest to evaluate their relationship with sleep and create their own personal sleep tincture using essential oils, geothermal water, and freshly distilled homegrown lavender hydrosol.
