WELLNESS PROGRAMS FOR CORPORATE MEETINGS AND RETREATS
Galena, Ill. August 27, 2024_ – Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa [2] is
excited to announce the launch of its Integrative Group Wellness
Programming [3], designed to transform corporate meetings, retreats, and
team-building activities into rejuvenating wellness experiences. At the
heart of these new offerings is the award-winning Stonedrift Spa [4], a
12,000 sq. ft. wellness destination that anchors the resort’s
extensive group wellness activities.
In response to a growing demand from meeting planners for more wellness
services, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa [5] is providing exactly what
today’s corporate organizers are seeking. Wellness is no longer just a
buzzword in the meetings industry; it is becoming a priority. According
to the _2024 Global Meetings & Events Forecast_ [6] by American Express
Meetings & Events, 77% of meeting planners believe that wellness
elements are essential for enhancing the attendee experience¹. This
shift reflects a growing understanding that well-being is directly
linked to productivity, engagement, and overall satisfaction during
meetings.
Recognizing this trend, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa’s [7] new Integrative
Group Wellness Programming [8] addresses these needs by offering
tailored wellness programs for groups of six or more. Utilizing both
indoor and outdoor venues, including unique spaces like the Wellness
Studio, Point Patio, and the resort’s championship golf courses, Eagle
Ridge is setting a new standard for corporate wellness experiences.
These programs are designed to promote relaxation, connection, and
increased productivity.
Stonedrift Spa’s [9] Director, Abbi Porter, emphasizes that the new
offerings are about “elevating traditional corporate retreats by
providing transformative wellness activities that enhance both
well-being and team performance.” With Stonedrift Spa at its core, the
resort offers a wide range of programs that promote mindfulness, stress
relief, and overall group harmony.
Key Features of the Integrative Group Wellness Programming include:
* Group Sound Bath Sessions: Participants can experience profound
relaxation through therapeutic sound vibrations, promoting a collective
sense of peace and harmony.
* Guided Walking, Hiking, and Nature Tours: Groups can explore the
resort’s expansive 6,800 acres with guided tours that highlight the
natural beauty and rich history of The Galena Territory, fostering team
bonding in the great outdoors.
* Group Yoga, Fitness, and Stretch Sessions: From traditional yoga
classes to night yoga for winding down after meetings, customized
fitness sessions, and guided stretch routines, these programs cater to
all skill levels and group needs.
* Mindfulness and Meditation Workshops: Teams can engage in guided
mindfulness and meditation sessions that focus on mental clarity,
relaxation, and stress reduction—essential tools for navigating both
meetings and daily life.
* Self-Guided Facial Classes: Groups can enjoy self-pampering with
expert-led facial care classes, offering personalized skincare
instruction.
* Group Aromatherapy and Hydrotherapy Sessions: Participants can
experience the rejuvenating benefits of essential oils in group
aromatherapy sessions, or indulge in hydrotherapy treatments for
relaxation and mental clarity.
* Group Hair & Makeup Classes + Pedicures & Manicures: Groups can
enhance their grooming skills with expert tips and techniques through
focused hair and makeup classes, followed by group manicures and
pedicures for a polished and refreshed look.

of indoor and outdoor wellness venues, including Stonedrift Spa, the
Wellness Studio, golf courses, and Point Patio, allowing for unique and
memorable group wellness experiences.
