DEC 12, 2020 - Connect with us with our newest online experience “Virtual Vacations” - an online community experience and retreat from your home.

OVERVIEW
Are you looking for an inspiring and stimulating retreat experience during this time where travel may be a bit limited? We introduced our “Virtual Vacation” series to help add some connection back into our lives with seasonal at-home getaways aligning with the EPM ethos - connection through wellness, unique experiences, creative outlets, and self-care.
In December we will meet for a special 1-day event where we’ll connect, move & breathe together, then enjoy some time learning and sipping alongside a certified sommelier.
FESTIVE FLAVORS
After our yoga class where we’ll get moving and release some of the stresses of the season, we’ll turn our attention towards the glass. Learn and taste together with the flavors that go so well in this season of festivities! We’ll explore some of the basics, as well as some more in-depth information - while we taste, swirl, and discuss! ALL IN FUN! No experience needed and we’ll enjoy learning together.
