Our Events

We craft events using spa, wellness, food, beauty and travel as our inspiration.  Networking is a key component and people often make lasting professional and personal relationships with others they meet at our events.  A hallmark of what we do is to create community and meaningful connections.

How We Travel

Sallie Fraenkel has an almost life-long passion for travel that began when she planned a trip to Bermuda for her high school friends in Rye, NY. When her mother took her to Canyon Ranch in 1992, her life was transformed. Traveling and experiencing different cultures has been something she loves to do. Fraenkel creates “wellness travel experiences with heart” combining elements of the wellness lifestyle (mind | body | spirit pursuits) with volunteering in the communities we visit. Wellbeing of the individual, wellbeing of the planet mesh to create transformative travel experiences.
