WHAT IS GOODNESS ABOUT & WHY SHOULD I BE A MEMBER?
Goodness is all about people and connection and figuring out how to navigate our way through this wild world. We need community and nature, mindfulness and movement, creativity and curiosity to stay engaged in life, keep our mental health intact, and surviving day after day.
We’re in this together. You should become a member because the community, and world, needs thoughtful people like you. You support the community and the community supports you. It’s a win-win, all around.
WHAT’S SO SPECIAL AND UNIQUE ABOUT GOODNESS?
Goodness is unique because it is founder Willie McBride’s own vision of wellness that is truly holistic and all-encompassing; he believes that true wellness (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health) involves connection (to yourself, others, and nature), movement (multiple kinds), creativity/curiosity (a creative outlet of some form and a desire to explore/discover), and culture (art, music, film, food, etc). All Goodness content and culture is curated to reflect this philosophy.
Goodness is so special because it’s comprised of a community of folks like YOU.
HOW DO YOU PICK THE EVENTS & PARTNERS YOU PROMOTE?
We’re proud to have high standards and want to only promote events and partners we truly believe in. That means folks whose missions align with ours, women and/or BIPOC owned businesses, people trying to make positive, impactful contributions to the world. Diversity, in every way, is important to us; We try to have that be reflected in our choices of what to promote and we hope you feel it too.
“I HEARD THIS IDEA THAT PEOPLE NEED ‘SOMEONE TO LOVE, SOMETHING TO DO, AND SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO’ AND IT STRUCK ME AS SUCH A SIMPLE AND TRUTHFUL ASSESSMENT OF OUR EXISTENTIAL NEEDS…AND A KEY PART OF MENTAL HEALTH.
THE WELLNESS MOVEMENT FOR ALL AND GOODNESS WERE CREATED TO HELP WITH ALL THREE…”
- Willie McBride, Founder of The Wellness Movement For All & Goodness
