Fall Into Health Weekend — Galena, Illinois
In October 2024, we hosted our very first Fall Into Health Weekend in historic Galena, Illinois. This inaugural wellness retreat brought together people from all walks of life who shared one goal: to focus on health, connection, and support in a welcoming, plant-powered environment.
Over the course of the weekend, attendees enjoyed:
- A scenic group hike surrounded by Galena’s fall beauty
- An educational Food for Life class focused on the power of nutrition
- A thought-provoking documentary screening with water-popped popcorn and mocktails
- Delicious whole food, plant-based, oil-free meals and handcrafted mocktails
- Opportunities for community building, bonding, and friendship that extended far beyond the retreat itself
The weekend was filled with laughter, learning, and connection. We didn’t just share meals—we shared stories, built friendships, and found the support that makes living a healthy lifestyle sustainable.
Our inaugural Fall Into Health Weekend in Galena was more than a retreat—it was a community. From hikes to hands-on learning, from delicious WFPBNO meals to late-night conversations, we bonded, built friendships, and left with renewed inspiration. Scroll to relive the weekend with us
One of the highlights of the weekend? Sending each guest home with a swag bag filled with plant-based goodies from our incredible sponsors. These thoughtful items weren’t just gifts—they were tools to help continue the journey toward health and wellness long after the retreat ended.
The results are in—and they speak for themselves! Attendees of our Fall Into Health Weekend gave glowing reviews, with high marks for the food, programming, and community connection. We’re thrilled to see how much this event meant to those who joined us.
