On a beautiful summer afternoon in Sag Harbor, three powerhouse wellness brands – Naturally Serious Skincare, SunLife Organics, and WelcomeHaus – welcomed guests for an immersive experience centered on holistic health, mindful living, and community connection.

Upon arrival, guests were welcomed into the lush garden at SunLife Organics’ new Hamptons location, a serene outdoor oasis accented by massive, grounding crystals that set the tone for this event. Attendees were immediately greeted with refreshing green juices, a signature SunLife touch that eased everyone into the afternoon. 

The group, which included guests such as beauty guru Gretta Monohan, fitness instructor Grace Freyre Sands, and Fitzens founder Val Talve, then settled in for a series of inspiring conversations. Khalil Rafati, founder of SunLife Organics, began with a reflection on his personal journey and the mission behind building a wellness community that now spans from Los Angeles to the East End. He spoke candidly about healing and how SunLife was born from his desire to create spaces that nourish people from the inside out. Surrounded by the garden’s massive crystals and natural beauty, he echoed the idea that such environments can support transformation and everyday rituals that help people feel whole. 

Naturally Serious Skincare co-founders Rochelle Jacobs and Sarah McNamara followed with a speech about their journey as beauty industry veterans and their commitment to pioneering one of the first fully clean skincare brands. They spoke to the importance of transparency, trust, and creating products that support skin health in the same intentional way that SunLife supports overall wellbeing. Guests learned about the company’s patented anti‑pollution blend of six antioxidants and other carefully developed formulas that embody the founders’ belief that when products are crafted with true intention and care, they have the power to meaningfully impact people’s lives.

Following the discussions, the scene transitioned into a serene, sensory-rich sound bath led by Lauren Aiyana, spiritual life coach, energy healer, and co-founder of women’s wellness platform, WelcomeHaus. Her grounding session invited attendees to slow down, reconnect, and fully embrace the afternoon’s message of balance and holistic wellbeing. 

The gathering concluded with SunLife’s beloved Mint Chocolate Chip smoothies and meaningful conversation among guests as they reflected on the sound bath experience. Before departing, attendees received thoughtfully curated gift bags featuring the complete Naturally Serious Skincare line, along with SunLife Organics merch and protein powders to continue their wellness rituals at home.

From inspiring conversations to nourishing experiences, the afternoon served as a beautiful celebration of summer, community, and wellness.
