popupmedicine 3_smallWe've got the coolest event - all set up to help you start the year feeling really good.

Starting this week at our Columbia St. space, healthcare professionals are hanging up their clinical coats and hanging out at a community café, and we're all invited. For five days, 15 healthcare professionals will be around to chat about a different theme each day. Topics include sleep & pain, simplicity living, and family & food amongst others.

It's all about conversation - breaking the traditional healthcare model and taking a proactive approach to your health. It's not a clinic, it's not a consult, and it's definitely not a workshop.

This is intimate public health dialogues in a beautifully crafted space. The purely community initiative is free to the public and we love Dr. Thara Vayali, ND for making it happen, with generous support from the good folks at Elysian CoffeeO5 Tea, Barter Design, MTH Woodworks, and SPUD.

It's a jam packed week and you can get the full schedule here and sign up for events here, including Social Yoga and a pop-up dinner by My Edible Advice. What's more is that all proceeds from the events are going to support the Vancouver Women's Health Collective.

This year's calendar is off to the best start we could have asked for and we can't wait to see you at #popupmedicine. The pop-up runs daily January 6-11 at 434 Columbia St.
