Macon Mental Health Matters (MMHM) is hosting its Wellness Weekend this weekend! It kicked off with a Mental Health Alliance at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, February 13. This gathering brings together a diverse group of people and organizations to discuss mental health and wellness topics impacting Macon-Bibb County. The next meeting will happen in March.

Also on Friday, February 13, people are invited to unwind with yoga at Wellness Hug (476 3rd Street, Suite 2), at 6:00 p.m. This free yoga session offers a welcoming space to release the stress of the week and reset for the weekend. The class is open to all experience levels and will be led by instructor Shanteria Lowe.

The Wellness Weekend wraps up on Saturday, February 14, with a Mental Health Pop-Up Gym from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Booker T. Washington Center (401 Monroe Street). The Pop-Up Gym provides free opportunities to care for mental health through activities such as yoga, drum circles, therapy resources, and access to fresh produce.
