We’re excited to introduce our Blue Zones Exploration Series, an inspiring 8-part journey into the world’s healthiest and longest-living communities. Each month, participants will enjoy two engaging experiences: a discussion-based session to explore key Blue Zones principles, followed by a hands-on session that brings those ideas to life through practical activities and shared experiences.

From the mountain villages of Sardinia to a sunny suburb in California, we’ll explore what contributes to the long lifespans of the people in these communities. Join us as we watch segments from the popular Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones documentary and discuss how we can apply these practices to our own lives.
