8th Annual InDependent Wellness Summit
Rediscover YOU in 2023.
A virtual anytime, anywhere retreat for military spouses — past, present, and future.
Presented by
Every transition brings new opportunities to rediscover what makes you…YOU.
If there is any one constant in military life, it’s change.
Let us help you cultivate gratitude and joy through any season of change.
- In a new city.
- During deployment or reintegration.
- When you’re starting a new career transition or entering a season of unemployment.
- After retirement.
- As a newlywed or new parent
- When you drop your kids off at kindergarten for the first time…
- And when you help them move into their dorm room.
Rediscover wellness during whatever season of life you’re in today.
TWO WELLNESS SESSIONS TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE
Wellness for every age, stage, and season of life.
Session 1: Rediscover You — Parenting
5 parenting-focused interviews that dive deeper into whole-family wellness as a parent and child throughout the military journey.
Session 2: Rediscover You
5 interviews that help you cultivate wellness, reduce stress, and create space in whatever season of service life you’re in.
And in the spirit of change, we are changing, too.
The same great come-as-you-are format. But with TWO wellness sessions this year.
At this year’s InDependent Wellness Summit, we will have special interviews and resources specifically for parents. We spoke, and we listened to give you the content you need to be resourceful in this military life.
TWO Wellness Sessions
Get access to 10 carefully curated wellness interviews, delivered to you over TWO different weeks of wellness — one in March and one in September. Take the space, time, and energy you need to participate as you please and on your terms.
Deep Dive: Parenting
We’re going deeper on one topic we know affects every.single.one.of.us … parenting. Your relationship with your children. Your relationship with your parents. We’re covering it all through the lens of the military experience.
Small Group Discussions
Join us on Zoom W-F of each session to connect with fellow Milspouses. Join discussions, share experiences in small group breakout rooms, and go deeper with self-care while building community.
Daily Giveaways and Swag Bags
Each day you will have access to enter for a daily giveaway. This is in addition to our virtual swag bag where you can get some free goodies and amazing deals from military spouse businesses.
