An all new web experience
Earlier this week, we launched an all-new version of our website. (The one you’re on right now!)
Published on August 19, 2020
You may have heard about our Neighbor 101, a series of crash courses on wellness, art, and other topics that add new perspectives to your life.
Sometimes it’s helpful to get a taste of what you’re about to see before you dive into an IG Live video. Your time is precious and even 30 minutes can feel like a big commitment. So here’s the TL;DR peek at two of our Neighbor 101 events from last week and some NG products that pair well.
Be sure to check out future events here to browse what’s waiting in the wings.
