Wellness can be fun too. Way Well, a platform dedicated towards this philosophy, will host its flagship festival, Harmony by the Sea 2.0 in South Mumbai, where their itinerary will put mental health front and centre of a community celebration.

“It is designed to blend movement and mindfulness with creativity. Guests can engage in curated, immersive activities. There will be breathwork and yoga sessions, with music therapy, which calms the nervous system and expands the senses, along with sound therapy for healing and relaxation. You can also expect a community-led run club, high-intensity sessions for strength, amongst other activities,” shares Alekha Advani Jain, founder of Way Well, and this festival.

Matcha enthusiasts can indulge in whisking ceremonies and workshops, while those craving for peace amidst the daily hustle can retreat to spaces dedicated to conscious connections. Jain adds, “Stalls featuring conscious, sustainable items, from apparel and jewellery, to skincare products, will also be accessible.” As the festival treats communal joy as a form of medicine, attendees can experience a playful session of Art Musical Chairs and enjoy mocktails and conscious beverages, in place of alcoholic drinks.

“It is a shared experience rooted in the community. Our aim is to facilitate authentic human connections, especially in Mumbai, where everyone is always on the go,” the founder reveals. The sea, of course, lends itself as a calming location, she says. “This is our second edition in this city, and I want to create a rhythm where people can slow down, unplug and remember what it feels like to be present in the moment,” she signs off.
