Spring is the season of renewal. In Whistler, it’s the time of year when we thrive in nature, finding stillness in the forest, our pace out on the trails and our rhythm as we paddle on a glassy lake. With longer days and a warming sun, it’s also a time when we look to revive and restore our bodies, whether that means a trip to the spa, lake, forest or a favourite restaurant.
In harmony with this natural focus on wellness, the Nourish Whistler Wellness Series offers 60-plus unique events happening May 31 to June 29, 2025. Create your own Whistler retreat with an education and engaging speaker series, hands-on masterclasses, culinary events set in nature, and transformative movement and mindfulness experiences.
Nourish brings together a world-class roster of over 20 diverse wellness professionals, internationally-acclaimed facilitators, doctors, authors and artists. Don’t miss the opportunity to stretch with renowned yoga teacher, Seane Corn, share meals from celebrated chefs like Quang Dang and Alana Maas, and learn from neuroscience-based wellness coach and author, Catherine Roscoe Barr.
Event tickets are on sale and start at $5. Book three or more nights and receive a free, $150 wellness activity voucher you can use towards Nourish events, or other Whistler-wellness activities. Let’s look at some of the key events happening in the Nourish Whistler Wellness Series this June.
