RVA Rest Fest 2024

Doors open at 10am, first classes start at 11am
There is so much going on in Richmond’s wellness community but it all happens in silos: word-of-mouth, Instagram posts, etc. Someone looking for guidance or healing has to really be in the community to learn what Richmond can offer. With that intention, Rest Fest is designed to bring some of Richmond’s best leaders, healers, facilitators, and practitioners under one roof for one day, so Richmonders can find their people…and themselves.
