Join the Women's Wellness Experience: a vital gathering for health and wellbeing
As the gentle embrace of spring reminds us of renewal and growth, Weekend Argus is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of the Women's Wellness Experience. Set for Saturday, 30 August 2025, at the Lagoon Beach Hotel in Cape Town, this event promises to be a vital gathering focused intently on women's health and wellbeing.
Following the overwhelming success of last year's sold-out affair, the second annual Women's Wellness Experience aims to elevate the discourse around women's health beyond the fleeting fads of quick-fix solutions. Instead, it will offer credible, science-based tools and insights, empowering women to navigate their wellness journeys with confidence and knowledge.
'More than ever, women are seeking ways to take charge of their health in meaningful ways,' notes Rehana Rutti, marketing officer for Weekend Argus. 'Our readers are deeply invested in their wellbeing — physically, mentally, and emotionally. This event responds directly to that need by curating a space where women feel seen, supported, and equipped with real solutions.'
This year's programme features an impressive lineup of South Africa's foremost health professionals and wellness thought leaders. They will tackle pressing issues that resonate deeply with women today, from the struggles of chronic stress and burnout, to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, enhancing sexual wellness, and addressing the rising rates of heart disease among women.
Prof Pamela Naidoo: The CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation SA will discuss the importance of recognising cardiovascular disease as a prevalent yet often overlooked issue among women.
