About Wellness at First Sign:

Wellness at First Sign is our wellness event series in New York and beyond, designed to help you move, reset and connect.

Not a dating event, a place to make new friends or be competitive with your friends…

Come solo, bring your partner or bring a friend. Every identity and every relationship status is welcome!

What the session involves:

Pickleball is the easiest racket sport in the world to pick up, which is exactly why it works for this.

Our host runs the warm up, teaches the rules to anyone who needs them, then rotates you through short friendly games so you play with plenty of different people rather than the same pair all afternoon.

And when you aren’t on the court? Enjoy the chill out area along with board games and table tennis too.

Competitive if you want it, gentle if you do not 👀

A little cosmic sparkle:

Pickleball is a doubles game, so half the fun is who ends up on the other side of the net ✨

Connection is the whole point of the afternoon. Between games, use the Cosmic Fusion app to go a little deeper than small talk, see what you actually have in common with the people you have just played with, and find out who you naturally click with. Air signs for the quick hands, fire signs for the big swings, earth signs for the ones who never miss, and water signs for reading the room 🔮

Come for the pickleball, leave with a few new people in your life.
