On Sunday, March 1 at 5 p.m., ElevateWi welcomes the community back to WiStudies Creative Hub on St. Thomas for “Health is Wealth- Part 2,” the latest installment of their signature arts and wellness gathering, “Grounded.”
“Grounded” is an immersive community experience that blends creative expression with mental wellness, physical health, and personal empowerment. Each session typically features themed discussions, guest experts including psychologists and coaches, live soulful music, poetry and spoken word, wellness practices such as yoga or guided reflection, healthy food and drinks, and open mic opportunities.
“The goal is to create space for healing, honest conversation, creative vulnerability, and genuine community connection. Attendees often leave lighter, more aligned, more inspired, seen and supported,” said ElevateWi’s founder and Executive Director Omar Ewen.
The studios are located at 18B-2, Lindbergh Bay, St. Thomas, across from the airport. With Google Maps they can be located using GPS.
Following a previous session themed “Reframe,” participants can expect this next installment to be a deeper dive into personal enlightenment. “We are going deeper into the physical discipline that strengthens our bodies, deeper into the mental health care that helps us work through traumas, deeper into the spiritual practices that anchor our peace, and deeper into what it truly means to embody wealth, not just think about it. If part one shifted the atmosphere from heavy to lifted, part two will help us live it,” said Ewen.
The evening kicks off with open mic performances inspired by the “Health is Wealth” theme. Participants can sign up online when they register, bringing poetry, songs, stories, or even dance to share with the community. Event-goers can expect intentional conversations, grounding energy, and space to reconnect with both self and community. “Attendees will explore how movement, nourishment, and mental and spiritual alignment shape the quality of their lives in tangible ways,” Ewen said.
“Grounded is curated for creatives, entrepreneurs, culture bearers, leaders and professionals, caregivers, young adults, and anyone who is building something whether it is a business, a career, a calling, and a better vision of themselves. Grounded exists for individuals who understand that success without wellness is unsustainable. It’s for people who want growth but not at the expense of their peace,” he added.
Attendees are encouraged to register here.
