Take a Break
The topic of wellness has been on our minds at egi and continues to be a central theme for 2023. With so many of us pressing through the busyness of the summer season, we wanted to cater to the needs of busy, ambitious, women who welcome a moment to unwind, recharge, and revitalize their spirits.
With this in mind we designed Take a Break on August 31st, 2023 - an after-work self-care experience which offered attendees a safe space to take a moment for themselves in the midst of life’s demands. The serene grounds of Mahogany Ridge was chosen as our venue for a relaxing Thursday evening gathering.
Our goal was to offer the event to the entire egi women community, however after sharing the details first with our Inner Circle, the event was immediately oversubscribed. Due to this clear demand, our team is encouraged to offer a variation of this initiative in the not too distant future.
It was important to us that Take A Break would leave everyone who attended rejuvenated, at ease and equipped with practical resources to improve their overall well-being. We partnered with some of the talented women in our community, corporate and strategic partners to make it all possible. Attendees were able to browse a community wellness square offering a display of wellness products from other egi ladies, take part in an interactive stretch and ‘relaxation’ session led by Megghan Michael, enjoy delightful nibbles and bites, and be inspired by the sister circle conversations with a dynamic panel of women. Thanks to our sponsors and partners Atera Spa, Beflora Blooms & Plants Studio, Highlighted Beauty by Shan, Nature's Discount and O2 Beach Club & Spa, we were also able to offer some appealing giveaways.
More than the tangible things that were available to enjoy, it was the atmosphere that made Take A Break truly special and worthwhile. The response from the egi community was all that we had hoped for and more. Women who had never before attended an egi event but bravely decided to join us for the first time, felt immediately welcome and comfortable to share their space and their hearts with all of us there. Being able to take a break together was the best part of all.
