THE WELLBEING WHEEL PARTY

CORPORATE CHRIST

AN EVENING OF WINE AND LAUGHTER FOR YOU AND YOUR GUESTS

In a world that moves too quickly, it’s easy to fall behind on the things that actually sustain us: sleep, fitness, social connection, mindfulness, and creativity. These five pillars of wellbeing form the structure of a healthy, balanced life—but often we approach them in isolation, forgetting that they’re interconnected.

Enter the Wellbeing Wheel Party: a group session that blends journaling, play, reflection, and creativity into an evening of connection. It’s part workshop, part celebration, and part self-care ritual. The format is simple: gather your friends, pour some wine (or tea, if you prefer), and spend a few hours working through guided activities designed to help you reset, refocus, and re-imagine your lives together.
This article will walk you through everything you need: from preparation and setup, to step-by-step activities, to mini-projects your group can do in the moment. By the end, you’ll have not just an evening of laughter and depth, but also a set of tools you can return to week after week.

Part One: Preparing the Wheel

Step 1. Gather Your Materials

For the evening, you’ll need:

• Journals or blank paper for each guest

• Pens, markers, or colored pencils

• Bullet journal stencils (circular and geometric ones are perfect)

• A central table to share supplies

• A print-out or sketch of the Wellbeing Wheel (a circle divided into five slices: Sleep, Fitness, Social, Mindfulness, Creativity)

• Wine or non-alcoholic drinks, and light snacks

The goal is to create an atmosphere that feels celebratory but intentional. Think candles, soft background music, and a table that looks as though it’s waiting for a creative ritual to begin.

Step 2. Introduce the Concept

When your guests arrive, explain the purpose of the evening:

• Each slice of the Wheel represents an area of life that needs attention.

• Together, you’ll explore each category through prompts, mini-projects, and conversations.

• The aim isn’t to “fix” everything in one night, but to spark imagination and set intentions that can grow over time.

Part Two: The Five Sections of the Wheel

The evening works best when it flows like a journey. You’ll move through the five categories one at a time, spending about 20–25 minutes on each. Below are structured activities for each section, with prompts and mini-projects to bring them to life.

1. Sleep: The Forgotten Superpower

Sleep is the foundation of wellbeing, yet most of us treat it as optional. In this part of the evening, you’ll explore your relationship with rest and dream up ways to reclaim it.

Mini-Project: The Dream Hotel

1. Give each person a blank page and ask them to design their “ideal night of sleep” as if it were a luxury holiday package.

2. Using stencils, draw a bed, moon, or stars, and decorate the page.

3. Write down: What time do you check in? What rituals welcome you? How do you wake up?

Prompts for Discussion:

• If your dreams were messages from another world, what might they be telling you?

• What bedtime ritual could you invent that makes sleep feel sacred?

Takeaway: Each guest writes one small, realistic sleep ritual they’ll try this week (e.g., “no screens for 30 minutes before bed” or “a cup of herbal tea as a signal to wind down”).

2. Fitness: Movement as Joy

Fitness doesn’t have to mean punishing workouts or guilt. It’s about inhabiting your body with joy and discovering the ways you like to move.

Mini-Project: The Body Temple Blueprint

1. Draw a temple using stencils and lines.

2. Inside the structure, note what “Renovations” you’d like to make—stronger arms, more energy, daily stretching.

3. Around the outside, decorate with symbols of the activities you enjoy (dancing, swimming, walking, yoga).

Prompts for Discussion:

• If you had unlimited stamina for one day, what would you do?

• If your heartbeat could choose its own dance rhythm, what would it be?

Takeaway: Each guest commits to one joyful form of movement they’ll try in the next week, even if just for 10 minutes.

3. Social: Building Your Tribe

Humans thrive on connection. In this section, you’ll reflect on the relationships that nourish you and the ones that need more attention.

Mini-Project: The Feast of Friendship

1. On a fresh page, stencil a long table.

2. Around the table, write the names of people who feed your soul.

3. Imagine throwing a feast for them—what’s being served, what conversations happen, what music plays?

Prompts for Discussion:

• If you could design your perfect tribe, what qualities would they have?

• If friendship had a currency, what do you contribute—and what do you receive?

Takeaway: Each guest chooses one person they’ll reach out to this week—whether to reconnect, express gratitude, or simply share time.

4. Mindfulness: Finding the Still Point

Mindfulness is about paying attention to the present moment with openness and curiosity. Here, you’ll practice slowing down together.

Mini-Project: The Mind Landscape

1. Ask everyone to close their eyes for 60 seconds and imagine their mind as a landscape.

2. Open journals and draw what they saw: forest, storm, ocean, desert. Use stencils to frame the drawing.

3. Underneath, write one sentence about what this landscape reveals.

Prompts for Discussion:

• What’s one small thing in this room you’ve never truly looked at before? Describe it in detail.

• If silence were sitting with us as a guest, what would it say?

Takeaway: Write down one “talisman” of presence - a sound, smell, or sensation you’ll use to ground yourself during stressful times.

5. Creativity: The Garden of Imagination

Creativity is more than art - it’s the ability to generate new ideas, play, and see the world differently. This section is about unlocking that playful energy.

Mini-Project: The Garden Map

1. Draw a large circle and divide it into sections like flower beds.

2. Label each section with something creative you want to nurture (writing, cooking, design, problem-solving).

3. Decorate with symbols of what’s “blooming now” and what’s “seeded for later.”

Prompts for Discussion:

• If your imagination were a garden, what’s blooming right now?

• If you could collaborate with your younger self on a project, what would it be?

Takeaway: Each guest chooses a small creative experiment for the week—a poem, a recipe, a doodle, a voice memo of an idea.

Part Three: The Weekly Challenge Spin

Once you’ve completed the five sections, it’s time for a group ritual. Write the five categories (Sleep, Fitness, Social, Mindfulness, Creativity) on slips of paper and place them in a bowl. Each person draws one category and invents a mini challenge they’ll do in that area for the next seven days.

Examples:

• Sleep: Go to bed 30 minutes earlier twice this week.

• Fitness: Dance to one song every morning.

• Social: Call a family member you haven’t spoken to in months.

• Mindfulness: Take three mindful breaths before meals.

• Creativity: Write a haiku each day.

Share your challenges aloud and “seal them” with a toast. This simple ritual creates accountability while keeping the tone light and celebratory.

Part Four: Closing the Circle

To finish the evening:

1. Have each person hold up their Wheel and show their pages.

2. Go around the circle and share one insight, surprise, or intention they’re taking away.

3. End with a collective toast: “To small steps and big transformations.”

4. If you’d like, set a date for a follow-up session in 1–2 weeks.

Tips for Hosting a Memorable Evening

• Snacks and Drinks: Pair wine with light foods—cheese, fruit, olives, chocolate. Keep it indulgent but not heavy.

• Music: Start with ambient or lo-fi music for focus, then switch to something warmer as the evening opens up.

• Flexibility: Encourage people to personalize their wheels. Some may write; others may draw. Both are valid.

• Follow-Up: Create a group chat where people can share photos of their wheel updates through the week.

Why This Works

The Wellbeing Wheel Party is more than just an evening - it’s a micro-community experience. By combining reflection with creativity, structure with play, and individual growth with group support, it allows everyone to:

• Reconnect with neglected parts of life.

• Hold each other accountable in a gentle, joyful way.

• Spark imagination and rediscover personal rituals.

• Leave with tangible next steps instead of vague intentions.

Above all, it transforms wellbeing from a solitary struggle into a shared celebration.

Conclusion: Small Steps, Big Ripples

Life rarely changes in giant leaps - it shifts in small, intentional steps. A glass of wine, a page filled with doodles, a single promise spoken aloud to friends. The Wellbeing Wheel Party is a way to make those small steps visible and memorable.

 
So, gather your circle, light some candles, pour the drinks, and spin the wheel of your life. Who knows? A single evening of laughter and creativity may just set in motion the habits and connections that carry you forward for months to come.
