This October, Tribe Fortune is joining forces with Velocity Events Group to curate the wellness programme for Vivacity, Dumfries and Galloway's first festival of its kind.
One day, one incredible location. Over 50 sessions and activities across six zones and everything we believe in about health and wellbeing, community and looking after each other, but on a much bigger stage than usual!
The idea behind it
I've spent the last couple of years building Tribe Fortune around one simple belief, that we're all better when we stop performing and actually connect. Vivacity is that same idea, just turned up to full volume! Instead of one room or one retreat, it's a whole destination for a day, movement, rest, sound, contrast therapy, honest conversation and a proper wellness market, all in one place, all at once.
I'm curating and hosting the wellness programme alongside the Velocity Events team, which means the practitioners and panels you'll find on the day are the same trusted network Tribe Fortune already works with. Come as you are. Bring a friend. Curate your own perfect wellbeing day with over 50 activities to choose from.
What to expect
Yoga, Pilates, line dancing and group fitness for every body and every level.
Sauna and cold water work with Wild Dook Sauna, plus Wim Hof ice bath sessions if you're brave enough!
Honest panels on the things we don't talk about enough, including our headline Menopause Matters partnership with Dr Heather Currie, plus Andy's Man's Club and nutrition talks.
Over 15 carefully chosen stalls, artisan skincare, sustainable living, handcrafted gifts and good food and drink.
Sound baths, massage, acupuncture and reflexology, holistic treatments to properly restore and relax.
The Rock Garden, a proper space to sit, breathe and just be, because a festival day should still leave room for that.

Vivacity brings together expert practitioners across the disciplines we already champion at Tribe Fortune: somatic and breathwork, energy healing, yoga and Pilates, nutrition, wild swimming, sound healing and creative therapies.
