Wellness Oasis — April 13–16, 2026
A Transformational Space for Renewal & Performance at the 27th International Families and Fathers Conference

Vision & Purpose
From Monday, April 13 through Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Wellness Oasis is more than a room—it’s a movement within the 27th International Families and Fathers Conference. It is a sanctuary for balance, focus, and healing—intentionally designed so attendees can pause, recharge, and leave each day renewed in body, mind, and spirit.
The Oasis integrates ancient wisdom (Tai Chi, mindfulness, aromatherapy, tuning fork therapy), modern science (executive performance coaching, nutrition education, restorative stretching), and professional self-care (stress management, journaling, emotional centering techniques). Every detail helps participants feel better now—and leave with practical tools for daily life.
Wednesday, April 15, 2026 — This One Moment
Inspired by Ichigo Ichie (一期一会), we honor that each encounter is unique and may never be repeated. We only get this one moment in time—let’s be fully present, celebrate, and grow together.
Tai Chi for Everyone — Special Lunch Session
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (45 minutes) • Expo Hall
Lunch on your own — join us in the Expo Hall to connect, move, and breathe together.
This open and FREE session is available to all registered attendees, vendors, volunteers, and presenters.
Curated with Pavitra Wellbeing in partnership with the Fathers and Families Coalition of America: We help high-performing individuals—especially within the BIPOC community—reconnect with themselves through rest, mindful movement, and breathwork. Our purpose is to offer wellness experiences that are accessible, culturally relevant, and rooted in nervous system regulation and stress relief. Pavitra Wellbeing will facilitate the Wellness Oasis.
