Joyful Journeys: A Wellness Conversation

The first annual Joyful Journeys: A Wellness Conversation was a huge success for Jane’s Joyride and surpassed the fundraising goal!

More than 60 guests were welcomed by Jane’s Joyride’s founder Robert Cabes, who shared the inception and mission of Jane’s Joyride, along with the organization's notable accomplishments. Following this introduction, Jennifer Hightower Monteleone of Mont Art House shared her inspiring journey of founding the gallery, emphasizing her desire to create an approachable space for individuals outside the art world.

The event continued with insightful presentations from Allison Evans and Taylor Dukes, who shared their personal narratives behind founding their respective brands and the driving force behind their missions. They delved into the various factors contributing to overall wellness, covering physical, mental, and emotional aspects.

During the interactive segment, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions, fostering engaging discussions and further insights into holistic wellness. Key takeaways included actionable recommendations such as eliminating pesticides/pest control, removing fragrances from the home, and transitioning to all-natural laundry detergent, with Branch Basics products highlighted as a viable option. The speakers stressed the importance of not living in fear, but taking viable steps in life to prioritize your health and well-being.

The event was entirely underwritten by a generous donor, enabling all event proceeds to directly support Jane’s Joyride’s mission. We extend heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors: Green Fork & Straw for providing food and beverages, Mont Art House for offering the event space, and Taylor Dukes Wellness and Branch Basics for contributing their time and offering exclusive promotions for our guests.

Overall, Joyful Journeys: A Wellness Conversation was a resounding success, bringing together a community of individuals passionate about holistic health and wellness, and empowering them to take control of their well-being journey.
