You will leave with increased agency to adapt, make meaning and stay aligned in a changing world.
About the Hosts, The Vitalists
Jeffrey and Swirl Moore Williams, known as The Vitalists, are transformational guides who help others live with energy, resilience, and purpose. Jeffrey’s journey from burnout to holistic wellness and Swirl’s triumph over chronic pain have shaped their unique approach, blending masculine and feminine energies for a balanced path to vitality.
Their work centers on the Vitalist Spiral—Breath, Movement, Sound, Rest, Nourishment, Hydration, and Presence—as a blueprint for living in flow and freedom. Through their retreats, they guide individuals to retreat, repattern, and revitalize, inspiring deep connection to nature and awakening multidimensional awareness for a life of balance and transformation.
