ReJuvinature Wellness Festival is Here

By Ellen Joseph – Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa Wellness Consultant - August 19, 2025

We recently dove into the heart of Dominica’s traditional wellness—the ancient art of bush medicine—and explored how this living wisdom merges seamlessly with modern health and wellness techniques. The Nature Isle itself, with its rich volcanic soils and vibrant ecosystems, is a natural pharmacy just waiting to heal and nourish us.

But what if you could do more than just read about it? What if you could immerse yourself in this world, learn from its guardians, and experience its healing power firsthand?

This year, you can.             

We are delighted to welcome you to the Rejuvinature Wellness Festival 2025 on August 30th. Join us at the breathtaking Rosalie Bay Resort for a transformative experience that will reconnect you to the essence of true well-being.

This Year's Theme: "Roots & Remedies"

Inspired by the very heart of Dominica’s heritage, our 2025 theme is "Roots & Remedies."

• Roots: Step into the origin of true wellness as we ground ourselves in the ancestral wisdom that has guided Dominicans for centuries. Here, wellness is not just practice—it is ownership, woven through the land, our culture, and our very health.
• Remedies: Embrace the healing power of nature! Discover medicinal herbs, mindful practices, and holistic rituals that awaken your energy, calm your mind, and restore balance—perfect for thriving in today’s fast-paced world.

This festival is the living embodiment of the principles we discussed. It’s a space where ancient wisdom and contemporary wellness don't just coexist—they are weaved!

Your Sanctuary: Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa

There is no place more enchanting than Rosalie Bay. Cradled between the majestic peaks of Morne Trois Pitons and the shimmering black sands of the Atlantic, this eco-sanctuary embodies a rare harmony with nature. Where the Rosalie River gracefully meets the sea and nesting sea turtles return year after year, you will discover a serene refuge—an exquisite setting to step away from the world’s clamor and immerse yourself in the rhythms of your own being.

What to Expect on August 30^th, 2025:

Rooted in the richness of Dominican tradition, we’ve crafted a series of experiences meant to nourish the body, enlighten the mind, and spark inspiration.

·      Bring the Entire Family for Guided Nature Walks with the Children and a Local Elder: Take a fun adventure through Rosalie Bay’s gentle riparian forest paths, leafy trails, and the old ruins that whisper stories of the past. Along the way, you’ll learn how to spot special plants that have been used for health and healing, and listen to wonderful tales and wisdom shared by a friendly elder.

·      Interactive "Bush Tea" Workshops: Ready to turn knowledge into hands-on magic? Come spark your creativity with local practitioners as they guide you through the art of crafting traditional remedies. Discover the secret powers of leaves, barks, and blossoms—and see how these age-old treasures are transforming modern wellness!

·      Integrative Wellness Panels: Remember the positive impact of blending old and new? We're bringing it to life. We invite your active engagement throughout the sessions in exploring the compelling intersections between Dominica’s traditional ‘bush doctors’ and contemporary medical and wellness practitioners, as we consider their shared contributions to shaping the future of holistic health on the island.

·      Yoga & Sound Meditation: Begin your morning by the gentle flow of the Rosalie River, moving through yoga practices that blend ancient breath work with mindful movement and Gong. Reconnect with your inner balance through guided Tantra yoga and traditional healing rituals to ease you into stillness, while the soft sounds of live guitar, rhythmic drums, and the natural chorus of river and ocean create a soothing sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit.

·      Farm-to-Table Healing Cuisine: Rejuvinature’s “Eat Well’ invites you on a flavorful journey where taste meets wellness on our festival menu. Experience our chef’s live outdoor cooking demonstration and savor the ‘Longevity Soup of the Day’—a nourishing blend designed to delight your palate and rejuvenate your body.

The Rejuvinature Wellness Festival is more than just a day retreat—it’s an invitation to step into a living tradition. Here, you move beyond reading about the 'Nature Isle’s' healing heritage and begin experiencing its restorative power firsthand.
