Nahuel Menéndez
Nawuemovement
Nahuel created Nawuemovement as a practice that not only strengthens muscles, joints, and mobility but also deepens inward attention and leads to being present in the body.

Vision

The creators of the Wellbe Festival know that only a state of contentment and inner happiness is good for a person. However, our everyday life is an ongoing process that pushes less important things to the top of the daily pyramid. Sometimes so much, that it is difficult to regulate our inner harmony. Movement, acceptance of oneself, pristine contact with nature, mature relationships and creativity are important for a balanced life.

Our sincere purpose is to create an environment of wellbeing and extraordinary practices for those who seek a more harmonious life. We want to achieve all that is good for the modern me, you, all of us … a space of inspiration, new experiences and insights. The Wellbe Festival is here with the intention of giving a variety of life stories and wellness practices for the joy of life.
