517 Health & Wellness Weekend

This weekend, Ourspace (517) is hosting a series of events exploring the intersections of health, wellness and culture, increasing access to health-and-wellness-based information for residents of the Lansing area. 

Kicking off the weekend 6:30 p.m. Thursday (Aug. 17) at the Lansing Public Media Center is “The Psychology of Money” seminar, where featured speakers will discuss “deep-rooted beliefs around money, where these beliefs stem from, connections between health and financial wellness and practical steps to becoming healthier financially.” The post-seminar mixer, beginning at 8:30 p.m., will offer music, refreshments, dancing and chances to speak with other attendees about the ideas presented in the seminar.

Ciara Hines and Dymon Wilson, Lansing-based yoga instructors, will lead a Holistic Worksop & Yoga class 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday (Aug. 18) at One Love Global on South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The instructors will promote the importance of staying active, keeping a healthy diet and pursuing holistic approaches while guiding attendees through a full yoga session.

Finally, the “Harmony of Health” conference, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday (Aug. 19) at the Robin Theatre, will touch on three themes: “Habits for Healthy Outcomes” from 9 to 10 a.m., “Keys to Holistic Health” from 10 to 11 a.m. and “Creating a Wealth Mindset” from 11 a.m. to noon. Afterward, the Capital Area Housing Partnership will lead a conversation about home ownership, and Astera Credit Union will lead a conversation about the power of credit.
