Wellness Retreat 2024 Press Release
The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) today announces a World’s End Wellness Retreat to take place on Saturday, June 29, 5-8:30PM at World’s End Reservation in Hingham, 0 Martin’s Lane. Rain date Sunday, June 30.
The top of Planter’s Hill on the spectacular World’s End peninsula is the sight of an evening of connection, clarity and renewal led by an inspirational team of wellness experts.
As the sun sets over Boston Harbor and the city skyline, guests are invited craft their experience from a range of therapeutic modalities such as yoga, sound healing, drumming, Reiki, and guided meditation. The evening opens with a community drumming convocation at 5PM and closes with sunset meditation at 8:30PM. In between, participants experience two 45-minute guided experiences, enjoy a picnic, or hike out onto the property. Our friends from Independent Fermentations will be serving craft kombucha. This wellness retreat is appropriate for everybody (over the age of 15) and every body.
