The perfect way to start your Summit day experience.

Friday began with Wake Up to Wellness - a curated morning experience designed to ground, energise and connect delegates before the Conference began.

Taking place in and around the Byron Bay Summit venue, this optional delegate program offered a selection of thoughtfully designed wellness experiences to choose from.

All experiences required pre-booking once registered for the Summit, and places were limited to ensure a small group experience for each.

Delegates could pre-select one experience to join on the morning of The Summit (Friday) and received further information about the designated activity prior to the Summit.

Suitable for any body, age or ability.


Wood-fired Sauna with Harmone

Born in centuries-old sauna country Estonia, Helena and Tony invite you to experience the Nordic sauna tradition in a way that goes beyond the protocol.

This morning, step into the wood-fired barrel sauna and discover why the sauna is so much more than just heat and a health practice. Through stories and shared moments, experience the sauna as a place where conversations flow, ideas spark, and a deeper sense of connection and wellbeing begins.


Morning blast surf experience (offsite experience)

This one-hour experience offers a fun and inspiring introduction to the joy of surfing. Guided by experienced instructors, you'll learn the fundamentals, connect with the ocean and experience the wellbeing that comes from moving in nature.

Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to reconnect with the ocean, this session is a taste of what a full surf lesson has to offer.


“The combination of the Wake up to Wellness program, plus the speaker content and the wellness activities throughout the conference really kept the energy levels high throughout the whole day. Combined with the delicious and nutritious food and the fantastic venue, I left the conference feeling inspired, motivated and rejuvenated.”
