Meet the Faces Behind the Wellness Festival 👋
For 10 years, Emilie Maynor (of Emilie Maynor Elemental Living) and Annie Damsky (of Villager Yoga) have been friends and co-teachers. They collaborated to create The Fearless Om with the goal of building a community of people living fearlessly. From their partnership, Fearless Fest was born.
“Three years ago we created Fearless Fest to build community and help connect people to wellness experiences they didn’t even know were available in Birmingham.
We wanted to show that there is a community in Birmingham doing interesting and powerful work and people are supporting its growth.”
