Wilmy Weekly: June 26

Hang out with Wilmy Weekly! 🎉 

We're hosting a breathwork + cold plunge + sauna meetup on July 12th!

We've partnered with some local wellness wizards to create the ultimate summer reset.

💨 30-minute guided breathwork class - Learn to breathe away your stress and walk out feeling like you just meditated for 3 hours

🔥 Sauna sessions - Sweat out all the toxins from your weekend (and maybe last weekend too)

🧊 Cold plunge experience - Jump into freezing water with your new friends because nothing bonds people quite like shared suffering

🍻 Drink, eat & hang: After you jump in a bucket of ice, slide up to the bar and order an ice cold beverage and a bite.
