It’s hard to argue that June is one of the best months of the year. The days are at their longest, the sun warms our skin and nature is in full bloom. But just like every year, it seems that if you blink, you’ll miss it.
Don’t get bogged down by the realities of the daily rat race. Don’t let the good times pass you by. Instead, this June, plan to disconnect from the hustle, and reconnect with nature on a trip to Whistler. It’s time to get busy living.
This June, there are plenty of reasons why you need to escape to the mountains to find your connection to nature and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. After an incredibly successful run last year, a Whistler favourite, the Nourish Whistler Wellness Series is back again. The Nourish Whistler Wellness Series offers 30+ unique events happening June 1 – 23, including wellness classes, masterclasses, speaker series and, of course, an array of culinary events that will ignite your passion for food. Tickets are on sale now.
Tap into your creativity at art events, practice mindfulness, connect with nature, and move your body. Experience the nourishing effects of spring in the mountains of Whistler this June. Between events, take some time to enjoy what Whistler is famous for: hiking, biking, paddle-boarding and other outdoor activities. Plus, visit the farmers markets, indulge at countless restaurants, shops, spas, and check out Whistler’s unique pedestrian village. You’ll forget the meaning of the word “bored.” It doesn’t exist in the mountains!
