Oprah Winfrey launching a virtual wellness tour
Special guests will be on board to help viewers put mental and physical health at the forefront during the four-week event.
Oprah Winfrey announced the ‘Oprah’s Your Life in Focus: A Vision Forward — Live Virtual Experience’, a free and interactive four-week event to help people cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The media mogul shared the development on Tuesday. She will be hosting the 90-minute experiences on Zoom beginning on May 16 and airing every Saturday through June 6. This virtual wellness tour is an extension of her successful ‘Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus,’ presented by Weight Watchers that began in January and ended in early March.

The focus will be on physical and mental well-being.
“In early 2020, I spent nine weeks traveling the country, talking to people about being well and staying focused. It was exhilarating. Then the pandemic hit and shook us all,” Winfrey, 66, said in a statement. “Now, it’s more important than ever to be and stay well and strong. Together, let’s reset, refocus and find clarity in what matters most.”
