Wellness Meets Culture: My Experience at the PVO Mixer x CultureCon
I recently attended the PVO Wellness Mixer in partnership with CultureCon, held at the stylish Virgin Hotels in Manhattan. The evening was designed to foster connection, healing, and creative exchange among professionals, creatives, and wellness advocates. Held in a vibrant, affirming space, the event brought together creatives, entrepreneurs, and wellness advocates for an evening of connection, restoration, and joy.
From the moment I walked in, the energy was magnetic. PVO (Positive Vibes Only) curated a vibe that felt intentional and nourishing—think sound baths, affirmations, and soulful conversations. The CultureCon community showed up in full force, reminding us that wellness isn’t just about self-care—it’s about collective care, cultural pride, and showing up for each other.
I connected with fellow creatives who are building legacy through storytelling, art, and advocacy. The mixer wasn’t just a networking event—it was a reminder that rest, joy, and alignment are revolutionary acts, especially for Black and Brown visionaries.
Here’s a clear breakdown of the 7 chakras and what each represents:
Each chakra is believed to be an energy center that influences physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When balanced, they support harmony across body and mind; when blocked, they may manifest as emotional or physical challenges.

@beautywithinmagazine A 7 chakras sound bath is a powerful healing experience that uses sound frequencies to align and balance your body’s energy centers. Each chakra resonates with a specific tone, and during a sound bath, instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes are played to activate and clear these energies. @Positivevibesonly, @tatianailia pvo, 7chakras, soundbath, culturecon, #positivevibesonly
