Friendship is A Wellness Practice.

We often think about wellness as something we do to ourselves.

Yoga.

Meditation.

Cold water.

Sleep.

But research continues to point towards something much simpler: our relationships matter to our wellbeing.

Recent reporting drawing on research around adult friendship highlights the links between strong social connections, emotional resilience and better health outcomes.

Perhaps wellness doesn’t always need to be another practice.

Sometimes it’s a long walk with a friend.

A meal shared around a table.

A conversation that carries on long after you’ve finished eating.

At Brinkburn, gathering has always been part of the experience.

Perhaps it should be part of wellbeing too.
