My husband and I just returned from a truly transformational and rejuvenating trip to Sedona for the Engine 2 Immersion – Spring 2016. We came back feeling lighter, happier, more health-conscious, and just as passionate about delicious, wholesome food as ever.

Whether it was the breathtaking natural beauty of Sedona, the world-class speakers, the 100 inspiring participants from across the country, the vibrant plant-strong meals, or the incredible sense of community—this experience was nothing short of life-changing.

As a Whole Foods Market team member, I feel deeply honored and grateful to be part of a company that puts team member health and well-being at the forefront of its mission. Each year, Whole Foods Market sends up to 400 high-health-risk team members to one of four week-long immersions to reclaim their health and learn the principles of a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle.

The partnership between Whole Foods Market and Engine 2 is a powerful one, grounded in shared values and a commitment to healthy eating. While Engine 2 hosts just one of the four immersions, after experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say—it’s something truly special.

Thank you to Whole Foods Market and the Engine 2 team for pouring your hearts, knowledge, and passion into these life-changing programs. I’m coming away inspired, empowered, and incredibly proud to be part of this journey.
