Since its inception in 2017, Candy and Green, a pet-friendly vegetarian restaurant in Breach Candy has kept their focus on wellness. In keeping with the current phenomena — where food establishments extend and convey their ethos through different means instead of only through their food — Shraddha Bhansali, the eatery's owner, has opened up her space for a bunch of events that are aligned with the restaurant's core principles.

As such, the restaurant has hosted many workshops and sessions in the wellness space, like a sound bath healing and meditation one and another where kids were taught about sustainable eating. "But recently, it dawned on me that wellness can be found in different things. For many, performing or watching a performance can be therapeutic," Bhansali says about their upcoming event — an open mic that will include music, poetry, storytelling, drama, stand-up comedy and other forms of art.
