💫 Singles Night: Connection, Community & Possibility

 

At the heart of the Vegan Wellness Retreat is not only transformation and nourishment — it’s real, meaningful connection. In 2025, over 45 singles joined us for our dedicated Singles Night — a relaxed, fun, and soulful evening designed for mingling, music, movement, and authentic connection.

We anticipate an even larger turnout at VWR 2026. Whether you’re seeking friendship, a kindred spirit, or perhaps something more, this is your moment. Come and meet like-minded partners who value wellness, plants, growth, and good vibrations.

 

Why this matters

Research shows that loneliness isn’t just emotional — it carries serious implications for health and wellness. Studies link prolonged social isolation to increased risk of chronic stress, elevated inflammation, higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and diminished immune function. In short: connection matters.

Singles Night at VWR 2026 isn’t just about chance encounters; it’s about curated experiences in community, surrounded by nature, nourishment, and a vibe that gets you. Your people are here. Your sea of possibility is here.

🌱 Join us. Connect. Flourish together.
