๐ŸŒฟ This in the 52 Things to Do or Try series, our founder Samantha T. Marie gets personal about one of the most powerful wellness tools there is - talking with a friend.

Not texting. Not DMs. Actually talking.

Humans are wired for connection, and when we're struggling, our instinct to isolate is often the thing working against us most.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out. You don't have to have the right words. "I'm having a hard time and could use someone to talk to" is enough.
Real friends will show up.

This series actually has a origin story close to our hearts. Our founder Samantha's best friend and OmniEra right hand man, Chris , was the one these 52 things were originally dreamed up for โ€” a toolbox they were going to create together. Sadly, Chris passed away before they could finish the list. Samantha completed it in his memory, and every Wednesday post is a continuation of that promise. ๐Ÿ’™

You don't have to carry everything alone. Reaching out is strength, not weakness. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

It's another ! Here are my destination(s) for you this week โœˆ๏ธ

Belize and Guatemala share a border and Maya heritage, but little else is interchangeable.
๐ŸŒด
Belize is small, English-speaking, and oriented entirely toward the water โ€” barrier reef, atolls, and a cave system the ancient Maya used as a portal to the underworld.
Guatemala tilts inward and up: highland markets, colonial Antigua, and volcanoes ringing Lake Atitlรกn that photos never quite capture.
Together, they make a natural pairing โ€” a week underwater and in the canopy, traded for cobblestones and cloud forest.

Quick basics: Belize runs on the Belize Dollar (pegged to USD, and USD is accepted everywhere). Guatemala uses the Quetzal. English is official in Belize, Spanish in Guatemala. Bring cash for markets and small towns, stick to bottled water, and if you're heading to Antigua or Lake Atitlรกn, give yourself 24-48 hours to acclimate to the altitude.

Where we'd put you:
๐Ÿก Gaia Riverlodge, San Ignacio โ€” jungle basecamp for Caracol and the ATM Cave
๐ŸŽฌ Turtle Inn by Francis Ford Coppola, Placencia โ€” barefoot luxury near Gladden Spit
๐Ÿ๏ธ Villa Bokeh & Bolontiku Boutique Hotel โ€” standout stays for the reef-and-cove crowd

Eat here: Caliente Restaurant on Ambergris Caye, and Sublime in Guatemala City.
Don't miss: The Great Blue Hole from above or below the surface, and the Maya ruins at Tikal and Caracol โ€” the kind of scale no photo prepares you for.

Your next retreat called. It's wearing turquoise and standing in front of an adobe building at 7,000 feet.
๐ŸŒต
Santa Fe has this rare ability to make people slow down, look up, and connect in ways that don't happen in a typical conference hotel - and for event planners and HR leaders, that's worth its weight in gold.
๐ŸŒต
founder Samantha T. Marie, CMP, CITP, CPT shares her firsthand guide to planning in The City Different: where to stay, what to book for your group, the wellness offerings that go way beyond a spa menu, and one elevation warning she wishes someone had given her sooner. ๐Ÿ˜…

๐ŸŒฟ โ€” brought to you by our sister brand, !
This week in the 52 Things to Do or Try series, our founder .t.marie is giving you full permission to put on your favorite comedy and call it self-care. Because it genuinely is.
๐Ÿ˜„
Laughter releases endorphins, reduces stress hormones, and gives your nervous system a real reset โ€” something every event planner and busy professional could use more of. When the overwhelm is real, sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away and let yourself truly laugh for an hour.

Samantha's go-tos? Standup comedy, Big Bang Theory, Friends, and the occasional American Pie rewatch when only something completely ridiculous will do. No shame. Zero apologies.
๐Ÿฟ
The assignment: make your list of the shows and movies that always get you, no matter how many times you've seen them. Keep it somewhere easy to find for when you really need it. And please โ€” stop feeling guilty about it. Your mental health matters more than your to-do list.

Some of the best group memories are made around a table.
๐Ÿท
The dinner that ran two hours longer than anyone planned. The bottle nobody was ready to say no to. The conversation too good to end.

If your group plans trips around the restaurant and wine list, here's where we'd send you:
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Puglia, Italy โ€” Borgo Egnazia: a whitewashed hilltop village built for long lunches, Michelin-starred dining, and local wine by the glass at golden hour.
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Biarritz, France โ€” Hรดtel du Palais: a former imperial residence on the Atlantic, with a cellar deep enough for serious Bordeaux and Basque coastal cuisine to match.
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น Douro Valley, Portugal โ€” Six Senses Douro Valley: vineyard terraces, riverfront dining, and port wine tastings with views for days. (Full blog on this one coming soon ๐Ÿ‘€)
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Napa/Carneros, California โ€” Carneros Resort and Spa: cottage-style luxury minutes from some of Napa's best small producers, and a firm favorite of ours.

We'll handle the group contracts, rate negotiations, and logistics so your group can focus on the next pairing.

Portugal just muscled its way onto our destination shortlist and we are NOT mad about it. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿท

Picture this:
Tiled Lisbon streets that look edited even when they're not, a sunset sailing cruise with Golden-Gate-coded bridge views, and enough Vinho Verde to make you rethink every wine list you've ever ordered from.
Then Madeira shows up with cliffside hikes, rocky-shore snorkeling, and a 200-year-old wine lodge that photographs like it was designed for your next incentive trip.
Just when you think it can't get better - the Douro Valley hits you with terraced vineyards, a garden vineyard lunch with free-flowing wine, and a river cruise gives you a scenic break while still soaking in the vast history of the region.

This is what we mean when we say Portugal has range. Corporate retreat? Incentive program? Fancy group getaway? It says yes to all three. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Full recap is up on the blog now - link in bio! ๐Ÿ“–โœจ

At some point, the 7am class stops being a commitment and starts being the highlight of the week. And the people on the reformers next to you? They become the group you actually want to travel with.
๐Ÿค
The class you told yourself was temporary has been on your calendar for two years now. If your Pilates people have become your people, it might be time to take the practice somewhere with a view.

Four properties worth planning the trip around:
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Chiva-Som, Hua Hin โ€” a full Pilates studio (reformers, cadillacs, the works) inside one of the world's most established wellness resorts, beachside in Thailand.
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ COMO Shambhala Estate, Bali โ€” jungle-set, river-adjacent, with private Pilates sessions built into every wellness programme.
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Lily of the Valley, French Riviera โ€” a Philippe Starck-designed wellness village with a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio and sea views that make the burn worth it.
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Woodstock Inn & Resort, Vermont โ€” a state-of-the-art reformer studio tucked into a classic New England resort, for the group that wants charm with their core work.

We'll handle the group contracts, rate negotiations, and logistics so your group can just show up and flow.

๐ŸŒฟ โ€” brought to you by our sister brand, !
This week in the 52 Things to Do or Try series, our founder .t.marie is breaking down aromatherapy โ€” and why your nose might be the most underrated wellness tool you have.

Your sense of smell is directly wired to your brain's emotional center. That's why a single scent can shift your mood, calm your nerves, or sharpen your focus almost instantly.
For Samantha, Cypress and doTERRA's Balance blend are her go-tos for anxiety, citrus and mint when she needs an energy boost, and doTERRA's emotional support blends are on constant rotation.

A few scent pairings worth knowing:
๐ŸŒธ Calm & sleep โ€” lavender, chamomile, bergamot
โšก Energy & focus โ€” peppermint, rosemary, lemon
๐ŸŒ Grounding โ€” frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood
โ˜€๏ธ Mood lift โ€” wild orange, grapefruit, citrus blends

A diffuser at your desk, a rollerball in your bag โ€” small additions that can meaningfully support how you feel throughout the day. Head to for the full breakdown. ๐Ÿ’™

Packing well is a skill. And like most travel skills, it gets easier with practice.
๐Ÿงณ
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear? That longer trips require dramatically more stuff. In reality, the most seasoned travelers pack less, not more.
The secret is building a versatile wardrobe, packing for your actual itinerary, and resisting the urge to prepare for every hypothetical scenario.

A few rules we come back to again and again:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Build around 2-3 neutral colors that all mix and match. Fewer decisions, more outfits.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Pack for the itinerary you actually have, not the one you're imagining.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Roll, don't fold. Or better yet, use packing cubes and thank us later.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Wear your bulkiest shoes and jacket on travel day. They take up zero suitcase space that way.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Leave 15-20% of your suitcase empty. Souvenirs and duty-free happen.
๐Ÿ‘‰ One "just in case" item, max. If it's not on your itinerary, it's dead weight.

A good suitcase helps too.
