🏔️ When Elevation Clashes with this Travel & Wellness Plans
New blog out by T. Marie, CMP, CITP, CPT on the OmniEra site!

Ever wondered how elevation can impact your body during travel? On my recent trip to New Mexico, I experienced firsthand how the 7,000-foot altitude can transform a week of engaging meetings and site visits into a personal wellness challenge.

By day, I was exploring amazing adobe architecture and soaking in the vibrant culture. But at night? My heart had other plans. From 9 PM to 1 AM, I found myself wide awake with my heart working overtime.
Enter one of my favorite wellness secret weapons: Ylang Ylang essential oil.

With a gentle application to my chest and some intentional deep breathing, I naturally lowered my heart rate by 10 BPM. The result? Finally, some much-needed rest.
Not just a personal story - it's a insight for anyone planning travel or wellness experiences in high-elevation destinations. After all, I'm not just an event planner, I'm a wellness expert too. 😉

Travel Wellness Quick Tips:
💧Hydrate more than usual
✈️Arrive early to adjust
💼Pack natural support tools
🧘‍♀️Practice intentional breathing
💡Listen to your body

Friday night at 6pm PDT in San Francisco and live online:
You can take a great adult ballet foundations class with the lovely Kathy Mata and Julia Kaufman accompanying on live piano.
🎹
Anyone interested can contact Kathy at [email protected] or 415-756-0591.
🎶💃🕺
Dancing to live music is so inspiring. If you’d like to experience the joy of dancing to music played by a living, breathing musician, come to Kathy Mata’s Friday night ballet class and dance to Julia’s beautiful accompaniment. It’s not just the way she plays, it’s also the music she selects for each combination. Her taste, her artistry, her gentle unassuming manner, all contribute to making this ballet class simply magical for the dancers.

With broken hearts, we share with you that our beloved D’Wayne passed away this morning surrounded by family and loved ones. Over the past year, he has been privately and courageously battling bladder cancer. Through this fight, he remained committed and present for his family, his music, his fans and his community.

D’Wayne’s life was incomparable, and his music and service impacted millions around the world, including in his hometown of Oakland, California. He was a guitarist, producer, composer, philanthropist, mentor and founding member of Tony! Toni! Tone! He was deeply passionate about providing artist development and mentorship to emerging young musicians, helping to shape the early careers of many.

For now, we ask that you continue to respect our privacy. We mourn with you, and are deeply grateful for your love and support.

In Solidarity,
The Wiggins Family

Rest in Power. Party don’t cry.

Just finished ironing on the decals before my 6th CRSSD festival in a couple weeks, with a special memorial decal for 🩵

Thank you for the decals & being a wonderful friend to us both. 🙏

The last Carlos & I had together last spring was the best one we shared, even hiding under a palm tree for surprise rain that came for about 10 minutes on the first night.
"We're always going to remember this!"
I will forever remember for us both. 💞
Always, pu***ss ✌️✌️

✨Taking care of our mental wellbeing should always be a top priority, regardless of what industry you're in.

✨Events and hospitality has extra special needs, with event planners consistently polled as one of the top 5 most stressful jobs, in addition to always having to be "on" with a smile on your face no matter what.

✨Thank you to & for highlighting this need and creating a platform to share, reduce stigma, and develop options on how to improve and take care of ourselves in demanding jobs and personal lives.

“Dance became refusal—a pseudonym for resisting oppression, for practicing active care, for desiring better worlds for not only myself but my community.” —Ogemdi Ude on extending her definition of dance

From a group chat I'm in with other travel agents, someone sent this disheartening message to us this morning.

No one should be denied their rights and freedoms regardless of gender or any other type of orientation!
Besides the fact that DEIA is important from an obvious humanitarian standpoint, it helps from an economic standpoint too.
Preventing people from working and travelling is NOT the way to make this country or any business great.

Myself and fellow travel agents let this person know that we stand behind them and they have our full support to continue fighting for their rights and what they want to do in life.

Tuesday January 21st 2025 may have marked the day of our new rebrand launch and website, and it started a new era here in the United States that has left many in some distressing uncertain times.

OmniEra was born in 2002 by a couple of artistic misfits. Our group consisted of renegade dancers, visual artists that pushed boundaries, and musicians emerging from the underground electronic music scene. Many of us were baby ravers in the late 1990s San Francisco Bay Area. Inclusivity, diversity, acceptance, support, and a safe place to be yourself went without question. After all, the mantra had always been "Peace, Love, Unity & Respect".

A little over a decade later most of our events turned corporate, but here we are now, still with the same soul.

No matter who walks into our events, we always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and seen.
Wellness is our top priority, and that includes mental wellness too.

No matter who you are, where you came from, what language you speak, what gender or orientation you identify with, what your religion is, or what color you dye your hair - all are welcome.

Some say to keep politics out of business. We don't think it's radical to be nice and treat others with respect.
We are mindful and intentional with our design and planning process.
We care about each person that enters into their hotel room, walks into their conference session, steps on their plane, and goes out to dinner with a colleague.

We are here to support, no matter your background.
Plan with Peace, Lead with Love, Understand to Unify, and Reflect Respect.

Together we can create beautiful moments of light that's needed to move through any dark.

We look forward to working with you in 2025.

Tuesday January 21st 2025 may have marked the day of our new rebrand launch and website, and it started a new era here in the United States that has left many in some distressing uncertain times....
