A better TMRW begins TDAY on the stunning Caribbean beaches of Jamaica as the Tmrw.Tday Culture Fest kicks off its Inaugural gathering this May 17-23. Best known for its 7-mile beach, Negril will serve as home base for Tmrw.Tday which will encompass all things music, wellness, gastronomy, environmental activism, and island adventure inviting sun drenched attendees to seek a higher purpose during a week-long, paradisiacal exploration.
Complementing the eclectic mix of musical acts, sunset drum circles, and beachside parties are world-renowned pioneers of wellness, progressive education, culinary arts and global activism. These global leaders will journey to the spiritual hub of Negril, Irie Soul Beach to engage in enticing workshops to help bring awareness to current political, economic and environmental issues and explore ways to counteract the current state of affairs. Leading the brigade is International Wellness Ambassador David Wolfe, co-founder of TheBestDayEver.com and founder and president of the non-profit The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation charity. As part of his contribution to the inaugural global gathering, David Wolfe will host a Cacao Ceremony and Dance Party in addition to a Farm-to-Table Dinner Series.
“I love Tmrw.Tday’s focus on health, wellness and yoga, and the arts, and this style of cultural immersion is a fresh way to elevate the lives of attendees. I love Jamaica, and am excited to return after 16 years. I am also excited to partake in Jamaican food, roots and herbs” – David Wolfe
