The event on October 15, 2016 featured Goop Beauty Director Jean Godfrey-June & Cherry Bombe's Editorial Director Kerry Diamond, morning meditation with Deepak Chopra, and a discussion about the health benefits of infared therapy with Jason Wachob of MindBodyGreen, Lauren Berlingeri & Katie Kaps founders of HigherDOSE.
Fern Olivia Langham founder of Thyroid Yoga + Ajai Alchemy spoke about giving your body what it needs to heal. For a busy place like New York City, this could mean establishing a ritual of laying with rose crystal quartz around your body grounding meditative moments.
Stephanie Wang, founder of the herbal apothecary - The Alchemist's Kitchen in the Lower East Side gave a fascinating talk on plant journeying and shamanic plant work. Herbal spiritual healing involves not just taking the herbs, but also setting an intention during the healing ritual.
In addition to talks and discussions by thought leaders of the wellness field, the afternoon was filled with wellness experiences from ABC Home's collection of curated apothecaries. Guests were able to sign up for facials with Tracie Martyn, wild-crafted herbal elixirs with Moon Juice, juice tastings with Rawpothecary, sea salt based hair styling sessions with Captain Blankenship, beauty treatments with Goop Beauty, manicures with Jinsoon, and tarot readings with Moon Deck.
The Beauty Wellness Wisdom event happens twice a year at ABC Home, and it's our favorite gathering in NYC for discovering sustainable, spiritual, all-natural, and creative ways to heal, rejuvenate, and beautify yourself from the inside out.
