Hemingway Reset

Wellbeing-led gatherings combining a practice and an optional shared meal/casual get-together. The inner work is as important as the outer work, but we tend to forget this… so we want to make space for it.

Signature elements:

These are the things that make this format distinctively Hemingway:

A practice followed by an optional shared meal/get-together.
Named after the practice + plus city (e.g. ‘Trail Reset SF’, Sound Bath Rest London’) so the format becomes recognizable across the community.
Slow paced – focusing on wellness, a chance to step back from the constant buzz of what we’re working on.

Run of show:

Flexible - depends on the practice and whether you opt to have a meal/get-together after.

Choosing a practice:

The practice should feel intentional and accessible (no specific kit/prior experience needed). Lean into the community for ideas and suggestions. A few directions you could explore:

Still practices: breathwork, south bath, yoga, guided meditation
Moving practices: a proper hike, a cold-water swim, a painting class

Logistics checklist:

Six weeks to go: identify the practice and confirm the date & venue
Four weeks to go: publish on Luma. Make clear what to bring and what to expect
Two weeks to go: if relevant, confirm the post meet-up venue
One week to go: final push for sign-ups if spots aren’t full. Remind everyone of what to bring/expect and any other specific details.
