December at Pier 360

As the days grow shorter and the air grows crisp, winter invites us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and seek out small moments of joy. At Pier 360, Winter Wellness is about supporting one another through the darker season—through movement, creativity, laughter, shared stories, and adventures that spark a sense of possibility.

This December, we’re offering activities that bring warmth to the cold months, community to the quiet days, and gentle encouragement for anyone navigating this time of year. Whether you’re looking for connection, grounding, or simply something fun to look forward to, we can’t wait to welcome you in.

Below is a look at what’s happening all month long.

A Gentle Note on Winter Wellness

Winter can be a challenging time—emotionally, physically, and mentally. We honor that each person’s experience is unique. If your energy is low, if the long nights feel heavy, or if this season stirs up old memories, you’re not alone. Every event this month is designed to be welcoming, low-pressure, and supportive.

Together, we can find warmth in community, strength through connection, and moments of joy throughout the winter season.
