The Larger Than Life Week
Next week, we're kicking off our first Larger Than Life Week. We're excited to work with Larger Than Life Week Ambassadors Brandon Breaux and Chef Dave Mack to showcase various ways to incorporate wellness into your everyday life.
You can also join us for meaningful dialogue about mental health with our partners The Narrative Shift, No Shame on U and The Jones Foundation.
Meet Our Ambassadors
Our inaugural ambassadors are advocates for mental health. We are proud to have acclaimed artist Brandon Beaux and Chef Dave Mack launch our Larger Than Life Week.
Brandon Breaux is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary Contemporary American Artist. His work focuses on identity and how perspective alters reality. With the overall goal to make the material divine and the divine material, Breaux uses type, image, form and sampling to construct narratives that articulate his visual language. He is an avid practitioner and advocate for meditation and mindfulness.
Brandon will kick off Larger Than Life Week with Midday Mindfulness Reset on Monday, October 12 at 11am by taking over our social media.
