Health Work & Wellness Journeys was born from over 25 years of creating transformational experiences.
After building one of Canada’s leading conferences on workplace health and organizational culture, we recognized that some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the conference room. It happens around shared meals, thoughtful conversations, immersive experiences, and the space to pause, reflect, and connect.

Pause. Step away from the demands and see what you might notice from somewhere entirely new.
Renew. Rest, movement, restorative scenery, yoga, meditation, Pilates, cold plunge, time in nature, and ocean air.
Rise differently. Research-based workshops on practices and rituals that calm your nervous system, mindfulness, sustainability, boundaries, self-compassion, resilience, and rediscovering presence, joy and peace of mind and heart.
Deborah Connors has spent 30 years creating gatherings that change people, and founded the Health Work & Wellness Conference. She loves turning complex ideas into practical changes people can actually use.
