Your Body is a Temple to Be Nurtured in Various Ways

Vancouver is surrounded by nature. A fantastic coastline to the west, and a largely coniferous rainforest in every which direction adorns the lush mountainsides of British Columbia. There’s no question that many Vancourites get and adopt the idea of being zen with Mother Nature and themselves. Just in time, these are three ways to fill your body and soul back to awareness of self.

Urban Leaf Catering

Vancouver is known as a region to pave and lead the way for plant-based nutrition. One example is Urban Leaf Catering and their mandate to provide plant-based catering as an alternative to nourishing the body. However, it’s hard to just hire a catering company on a whim! Thankfully, Urban Leaf Catering as a Pop Up at SOIL that serves a four-course meal with optional drink pairings. This event happens on Saturday, January 26, 2019, from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM at the Blue Heron Creamery in Downtown Vancouver.

Vancouver Acro Fest – Winter 2019

Another way to zen out is to get your body moving. Moving is a great way to getting to know your body and its capacity and limitations. This year, you can expect world-class teachers from around the world that teach you, if not help you, learn about how to be playful again. Tickets start at $90, and space is limited. Join the Vancouver Acro Fest in 2019 for a weekend full of body movement!

Bathe in Sound

And quite simply, the best way to relax is just to lay there and let the vibrations come to you. Literally. A 90-minute session to lie down and relax to the sounds of gongs, singing bowls, and steel drums. This Sound Bath Sanctuary happens at Heart Quest on Thursday, January 31, 2019, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Tickets are $25! Be sure to also bring a water bottle, a yoga mat, and something to cover your eyes.

It is important to always stimulate and relax all of our senses. Overstimulation can indicate burn out and lowered ability to get things done — and that’s not always a good thing! If these events overstimulate, you can count on the Quality Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown to provide you with comfortable, large rooms to start (or continue the relaxation). Situated in the heart of the Vancouver downtown core, you won’t miss a beat or pulse when you stay with us.
