Float RI is an amazing place offering a wide range of services to help you balance your mind, body & soul, including Massage & Reiki, Fitness Classes, Aura Photography, and Floatation Therapy! We’ll be visiting float in the coming weeks to experience some of their services, including floating which is where you spend either 60 or 90 minutes in a private pod of 850 lbs of epsom salt and 10 inches of water are heated to skin temperature, creating an anti-gravity environment.   What happens when you float?  Stress and tension are released from the muscles.  Natural endorphins are released and the brain sends out alpha waves associated with meditation and relaxation. New to Rhode Island, this type of therapy has been used by pro-athletes around the world for decades! Learn more about FloatRI by visiting our website, and of course, we’ll be sharing our experiences in the coming weeks, plus we’ll have some wonderful giveaways as well! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wicked Interesting: PawSox Open House - Saturday, April 6, Noon - 2pmhttps://www.facebook.com/events/375795683278819/ PawSox Opening Day - Thursday, April 11th!https://www.facebook.com/events/1917169795004895/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wicked Fun in the 401 17th Annual Tomorrow Fund Strollhttps://www.facebook.com/events/305154483468726/Sunday 9-12Garden City The Portuguese Kids - https://www.facebook.com/events/387353518509827/ Newport Restaurant Weekhttps://www.discovernewport.org/newport-restaurant-week/ Cinderella - A Full Length Ballethttps://www.facebook.com/events/479746432516614/?event_time_id=479746449183279 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wicked Family Friendly Little Mafia Easter Egg Hunthttps://www.facebook.com/events/2021271117990902/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wicked Nice Wicked Rhody is proud to partner with the United Way of Rhode Island, helping to spread the word about wonderful opportunities for you, your family, and your friends can volunteer in and around Rhode Island!
