Blue Zones are regions of the world where people consistently live longer, healthier, and more connected lives. While each place is different, they share common foundations: strong community, natural movement, meaningful connection, purpose, and environments that support wellbeing as part of everyday life.
Over the past year, this idea has been quietly building inside Mountain Club - through our podcast, conversations, and collaborations with people working across wellness, longevity, movement, food systems, environment, and community design. Join us for an evening of honest conversation with leaders helping shape how we live, eat, move, connect, and thrive.
Dominic Bowden - Broadcaster, entrepreneur, and wellbeing advocate focused on purpose, lifestyle, and modern living. Recently sat down with Dan Buettner, the researcher who brought the concept of Blue Zones into mainstream conversation.
Dr Adam Castricum - Sport and Exercise Physician at Axis Sports Medicine Specialists in Queenstown, with over 20 years’ experience in elite sport, injury management, osteoarthritis care, and exercise as medicine
Nadia Lim - Chef, entrepreneur, nutrition advocate, and champion of regenerative food systems and healthy living.
Damian Chaparro - Acclaimed wellness architect, masterfully weaving ancient wisdom and longevity science to create extraordinary inner and outer change.
Facilitated by Paddy Kluts, the discussion will explore what makes places truly thrive. Relaxed, thoughtful, and designed for people who don’t just want to hear ideas, but help shape them. Limited spots available. We’d love to have you in the room.
