How it works?

The BDO Northwest Winter Olympics are all about inspiring both physical ❀️ and mental wellbeing 🧠.

Similarly to the Summer Games, you can earn points for your team from a variety of activities, whether it’s going for a lunchtime walk, taking a breath with a meditation, hitting the gym, or taking an art class.

It’s all about getting active, being mindful, and having fun. 🌟 Not only that, but this is also the perfect opportunity for us all to reconnect now that we are at home in our new office. 🏒
