Just Gather Wellness is on a mission to inspire positivity, gratitude, and meaningful human connection. As the nation's first nonprofit dedicated to digital detox and nature-based wellness, they are celebrating their official ribbon cutting on Thursday, August 20th from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Alta Laguna Park in Laguna Beach. Hosted by Just Gather Wellness partnered with the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce, the community celebration is open to residents and visitors of all ages. Attendees will enjoy a complimentary light dinner, optional gratitude activities, and a brief presentation from the Just Gather Wellness leadership team highlighting the organization's mission, accomplishments, and vision for the future. The celebration also launches an exciting new season of programming. Beginning this fall, Just Gather Wellness will offer new classes in Laguna Beach in collaboration with The Etiquette Factory and School of Gratitude Orange County, expanding opportunities for participants to build confidence, practice gratitude, strengthen interpersonal skills, and cultivate healthier, more intentional relationships with technology. EVENT DETAILS: What: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Just Gather Wellness When: Thursday, August 20 | 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM Where: Alta Laguna Park, Laguna Beach, CA ABOUT JUST GATHER WELLNESS: Founded in 2022, Just Gather Wellness is a Laguna Beach nonprofit with a simple but timely mission: to help people disconnect from screens and reconnect with themselves, one another, and the natural world. Through free and low-cost outdoor gatherings, gratitude practices, mindful experiences, and community wellness activities, the organization encourages meaningful human connection while promoting the mental and physical benefits of spending time in nature. In an increasingly digital world, Just Gather Wellness was founded on the belief that spending intentional time outdoors and connecting face-to-face can reduce stress, improve well-being, and strengthen communities. Every program is designed to encourage participants to put down their phones, engage with one another, and experience the restorative power of nature. Living its mission every day, Just Gather Wellness has chosen to use Alta Laguna Park as its "office," demonstrating that meaningful work and community building can happen outdoors. Throughout the summer, the nonprofit has hosted wellness activities at the park thanks to a generous donor whose support made these experiences possible for the community.
