WELLNESS ROOMS
Between sessions, the wellness rooms offered somewhere quieter to land. Open all day, they included a quiet room for rest, a yoga space for gentle movement, and the additional rooms below. No sign-up, no schedule, nothing to bring; attendees could simply step in whenever they needed to.
