This winter, Sustainable Connections is celebrating many different ways to support wellness. They will be highlighting “winter wellness” for bodies, minds, and spirits, all with a local spin, of course.
With winter comes shorter days and colder nights - and the desire to hibernate until spring returns. While it’s tempting to wish the dark season away, it can be a potent time to tend to our wellness - as individuals and as a community. “Self-care” is a term that’s been thrown around quite a bit, and while it can be easy to dismiss it as frivolous, self- and community-care can be a powerful tool for transformation during the winter.
Sustainable Connections is sharing a Winter Wellness Guide that highlights local businesses and organizations offering special discounts, courses, and plans to support your health. These offerings span the spectrum of wellness, including yoga classes, massage, herbal remedies and tea blends, coaching, healthcare, birth centers, and much more.
Wellness encompasses many aspects of our lives – bodies, minds, hearts, spirits, and the community in which they reside. "We hope this guide helps you find inspiration to care for yourself and others this winter,” Amy Vergillo, Sustainable Connections’ Communications Director, says. “Supporting local businesses specializing in wellness is an opportunity to give to yourself and back to your community.”
