WICE's Lifestyles program offers a diverse range of activities to cater to varied interests. Whether you're looking to engage your mind with games like mahjong and bridge, explore hands-on crafts such as knitting, stimulate your palate with wine and cheese tastings, or focus on physical wellness through yoga and Pilates, there's something for everyone. Beyond the activities themselves, one of the underlying joys of this program is the chance it provides to meet new people and forge lasting friendships. The gatherings serve as a nexus for members to connect, share experiences, and bond over shared passions and interests.

We recognize the importance of both traditional activities and contemporary interests. That's why you'll find offerings like the French game of pétanque alongside modern fitness routines. The program is flexible, adapting to the evolving interests of our members by introducing new classes and events while maintaining established mainstays.

With the Lifestyles program, WICE aims not only to provide members with opportunities to relax and learn new skills but also to foster a vibrant community where connections are made, and friendships flourish.

You can be kept abreast of this by subscribing to our newsletter, WICE Direct, following our FaceBook page, or by simply keeping an eye on this page.
