Wellness Mixer
JUNE 30, 2026
You've been leading teams, building your business, and showing up for everyone else all year. And somewhere in the middle of all of that — you stopped showing up for yourself and started running on empty.
This is your invitation to exhale.
This is the room where you find community and real conversations that feed your soul. You leave feeling energized and equipped with tools to help you manage the overwhelm that comes with being the one who keeps everything moving.
And there are only 50 seats.
This is a curated gathering for HR professionals, People & Culture leaders, coaches, wellness practitioners, entrepreneurs, and community builders who believe that how you show up for yourself determines how you show up for everyone else.
Enjoy a Fireside Chat with our special guest — Phala K. Mire, COO of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).
The person sitting next to you could become your next collaborator, wellness partner, or referral — or simply a reminder that you're not doing this alone.
Date:
Tuesday, June 30, 2026, 4 pm - 7 pm
Venue: Busboys & Poets Anacostia (Private Room)
2004 Martin Luther King Junior Ave., SE, DC 20020

Well-being is multidimensional. So is this Summit.
Most wellness conversations are siloed. We're exploring the whole person. The Soul Therapy Wellness Summit is bringing together the experts, leaders, and practitioners who are doing the real work — and making their insights available to you, at no cost.
If you’re an HR professional, People & Culture leader, or someone shaping how others live and work, this Summit is for you. And if you’re simply committed to your own wellbeing, you’ll find something here that meets you where you are.
