3. Intellectual Wellness: Residents engage in stimulating activities such as TED Talks and documentaries, promoting intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning.

4. Environmental Wellness: We cherish nature and offer opportunities like guided nature walks and gardening projects, fostering a deeper connection to the environment and stewardship values.

5. Social Wellness: Vibrant gatherings, outings, and social events create opportunities for residents to build friendships, share stories, and enjoy companionship, enhancing their sense of belonging and joy.

6. Spiritual Wellness: Residents explore their spiritual beliefs through sacred spaces, meditation classes, and community gatherings, finding solace and connection on their spiritual journeys.

7. Vocational Wellness: We encourage residents to contribute meaningfully through volunteering and acts of kindness, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment in serving others.
