Summer Summit
In July 2023, we brought Self-Care Social to downtown Westfield, partnering with a local yoga studio to create an immersive wellness experience. The event featured 10 holistic and wellness vendors outdoors alongside three empowering classes inside the studio.
This marked the beginning of one of our most iconic Self-Care Social experiences—bringing wellness into the heart of downtown Westfield and creating a space where local providers, wellness enthusiasts, and the community could connect, explore, and experience something new.
It was the start of something special.
Spring into Sustainability
In April 2023, we returned to Industrious at Short Hills Mall for our second Self-Care Social: Spring into Sustainability.
Guests explored a vibrant mix of holistic wellness experiences designed to recharge and reinvigorate, including chair massage, fire cupping, mini facials, chakra readings, sound baths, meditation, tarot, art workshops, holistic products, detox juice, and healthy bites.
Building on the success of our first event, we continued creating an accessible space where guests could discover alternative wellness, experience self-care firsthand, connect with local practitioners, and explore new ways to support their well-being.
Our second event confirmed what we were beginning to realize: Self-Care Social was more than an event—it was becoming a community.
Waves & Wellness 2026
Waves & Wellness 2026
Sunday, June 14, 2026 | Whitechapel Projects | Long Branch, NJ
In the middle of the Knicks’ Finals win, the World Cup bonanza, and everything else happening that weekend, we brought wellness to another level.
Because sometimes you need wellness just as much as you need the wins, the celebrations, and the excitement.
We Came Together
Waves & Wellness started with our sold-out VIP Immersion — bringing people together outside, under the beautiful sun at the gorgeous Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch.
Through sound healing, breathwork, and Reiki, we created a space to slow down, reconnect, and be present — together.
And that feeling carried throughout the entire day.
Community Was at the Center
More than 150 people came together to move through our Holistic Wellness Market, meet new people, support local businesses, discover new wellness practices, and build meaningful connections with 30+ wellness and holistic vendors.
Our three free activations — Pilates, Warrior Yoga, and Embodiment Through Salsa — brought even more energy and opportunities for people to move, connect, and experience wellness together.
It wasn’t just about attending an event.
It was about finding your people.
Creating new connections. Supporting one another. Discovering something new. And remembering that wellness can be a shared experience.
More Than an Event
Waves & Wellness was a powerfully transformative day rooted in community, connection, movement, and high-vibration energy.
We were proud to partner with Self-Care Social and Babes in Business for the second year in a row, continuing to build spaces where wellness, entrepreneurship, local businesses, and community can come together.
Because wellness isn’t something we should save for when life slows down.
It’s what helps us show up for all of it — and it’s better when we do it together.
This is the kind of community we’re here to build.
And we’re just getting started. 🌊✨
Where It All Began
In January 2023, we hosted our very first Self-Care Social at the beautiful Industrious in Short Hills Mall—and looking back, it’s incredible to see where that first gathering led us.
It was our test. Our first step. The beginning of something we couldn’t fully see yet.
We brought together 15+ incredible holistic and alternative wellness providers to showcase wellness at its source and create a space for connection and discovery. The turnout was unbelievable, with Industrious members joining us for sound healing, breathwork, tarot, acupuncture, massage, juicing, and more.
Some of our original collaborators included A Better Me Juicery, The Curious Heart Shop, Kismet Acupuncture, Cavora Mind & Wellness, and CitiZEN Mobile Massage.
What started as one gathering has continued to grow, evolve, and thrive since 2023. It’s beautiful to look back and see that the little experiment we took a chance on became a growing community rooted in connection, collaboration, and self-care.
Sometimes you just have to start—and look what can happen when you do. 💫
