🧠 Mental Movement Day, in partnership with , brought together movement, mindfulness, and honest conversation.

It was more than a yoga class, it was a space to be honest about how hard it can be to build something, and how important it is to take care of ourselves along the way.

At Pier Five, we create these moments for our community of creative entrepreneurs and small business owners because we know how difficult the work can feel, even when you’re doing what you love.

As entrepreneurs that work around the clock, we build our events to provide our community with the room to rest, play, and connect–one event at a time. We can’t wait to see you at our next one.
