Take Up Space

Presented by We Are ILL, Wellness Week(end) is the ONLY event where Black women living with MS are invited to have a seat at the table! It’s a rejuvenating retreat for Black women with MS and their circle to connect, recharge and thrive together. Through meaningful conversations and a variety of educational experiences, attendees will leave Wellness Week(end) with insight into how they can balance their health and wellness, resources that foster positive habits and behavior, and connections to fellow Black women living with MS.

The event includes three days of programming, beginning on Friday, November 1, 2024, and concluding on Sunday, November 3, 2024.

Wellness Week(end) will take place at the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown, 866 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308. The event space is located in Fulton County in the heart of the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Wellness Week(end) includes happy hours, a keynote speaker, informational and wellness sessions, a Sunday service with brunch, musical performances, access to our Wellness Marketplace and gift shop, the opportunity to explore Atlanta, and more!

This year’s Wellness Week(end) theme is “Take Up Space.” This theme is all about us stepping into our power, owning our presence, and filling every room with our authentic selves. It’s a call to not just exist but to boldly and unapologetically be present in every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to our wellness and healthcare.

The event will take place in meeting rooms within the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown. There will be opportunities for attendees to explore Atlanta outdoors.

The health and safety of our participants, staff, and community are our top priority. We are closely monitoring and following all COVID-19 protocols as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the state of Georgia’s guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved in our Wellness Week(end).

While masks are not mandatory, we strongly encourage anyone who feels more comfortable doing so to wear one. We believe in personal responsibility and respect for others’ choices regarding health precautions. Our aim is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where all attendees can focus on their wellness journey while feeling safe and protected.

Please rest assured that we will keep all attendees updated with any changes to these guidelines as the event approaches, ensuring we adhere to the most current health advisories and regulations. Your well-being is our utmost concern, and we are committed to providing a safe space for everyone to relax, rejuvenate, and connect.
