What an EPIC first edition of the Brighton Wellness Festival. As the sun sets on BWF25, I want to start by saying a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU for visiting, taking part, collaborating and supporting BWF in its very first year.
WOW - WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
I’m still processing what we managed to achieve! Together with the local wellness community, we co-created a programme that was diverse, meaningful, and accessible - one that championed voices across the spectrum, challenged wellness as a trend (instead of a birthright), and opened the doors to people of all budgets and abilities. From saunas and sound baths to sea dips and a full-day Summit this programme had it ALL.
THANK YOU'S!
On a personal note: creating this has been a really heavy lift. Life has been life-ing - and it turns out, launching a multi-venue wellness festival, a full-day summit, an immersive launch party and a community with depth is quite a tall ask of one person.
As such, I’d like to give a massive shout-out to the BWF Team who made it all possible, particularly Grace Prior, who has been an incredible support both professionally and personally. I’m delighted to share that Grace is now officially on board, and we’re already cooking up some big plans for 2026 - watch this space!
To the BWF Community - the life and soul behind everything we’re building here - thank you for your energy, trust, wisdom and endless solidarity. Well done YOU!
To the BWF Advisory Board, thank you for bringing the expertise and diversity that this mission desperately needs. I'd like to shout out Ariana Alexander-Sefre in particular for curating the launch party - and giving me much needed moral support along the way.
And finally to our incredible sponsors - Anderson Acoustics, Green Row PR, Higher Nature, Full Circle Healing, Infinity Massage, Natrie and PLATF9RM - thank you SO much for believing in this idea and giving it the backing it needed to take off.
SO, WHAT'S NEXT?
I'm delighted to say the BWF will be back next year! But you'll be seeing a lot more from us ahead of then…
Join the Waitlist! If you're a wellness pro or a change-maker and you've loved BWF, join our year-round community! Doors re-open in November with limited capacity, so get in on the waitlist today to secure your space.
Save the Date - We're also planning a spectacular BWF Christmas get-together at Projects, Nile House on Wednesday 10th December from 1:30 - 4:00pm. Pop it in your diary now, and look out for an invite coming soon.
For now, it's time for some rest and reflection! I really hope this week of wellness has been both healing and inspiring, and that we'll see you at another BWF event soon.
With so much love and thanks,
