Wellness Hub News
New Programs and Workshops
Guess what? The Wellness Hub is buzzing with fresh energy! We’ve got a bunch of new programs kicking off this week that I think you’ll really want to check out. First up, there’s a Mindfulness Meditation workshop every Tuesday evening from 7-8 PM. Perfect for de-stressing after a long day, right? Then, on Thursdays, we have a brand-new Yoga for Beginners class at 10 AM. Don’t worry if you’ve never done yoga before, the instructor is super patient. Registration for both is happening now on the Wellness Hub website. Spaces are limited, so jump on it! Oh, and there’s also a Nutrition 101 seminar on Saturday – haven’t locked down the specifics yet, but keep your eyes peeled.
Featured Practitioner of the Week
This week, we’re shining a spotlight on Maria Rodriguez, a local acupuncturist with over 15 years of experience. Maria specializes in helping people manage chronic pain and stress, and honestly, who doesn’t need help with that these days? You can find her at the Harmony Wellness Center on Main Street, or give her a call at 555-1234 to book a consultation. I heard she’s got a really calming presence, which is half the battle, isn’t it?
Healthy Recipe Corner
Okay, so I’m not a chef, but I found this super simple and delicious recipe that I had to share. It’s a Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Corn, and Avocado. All you need is quinoa (cooked), a can of black beans (rinsed), some frozen corn (thawed), a ripe avocado (diced), lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Just toss everything together and boom! You’ve got a healthy and filling meal in minutes. Trust me, even I can’t mess this one up. And it feels good fueling your body, doesn’t it? Makes you wonder why you don’t do it more often.
CAN (Community Action Network) Talks
Upcoming Talk: Sustainable Living
Mark your calendars! The next CAN talk is all about Sustainable Living. We’ve got Dr. Emily Carter, an environmental scientist, coming to speak on Wednesday at 7 PM. She’ll be sharing practical tips and tricks for reducing your environmental impact and living a greener lifestyle. It’s happening at the Community Center, and honestly, it’s something we should all be thinking about, right?
Recap of Last Week’s Talk
Last week’s CAN talk on mental health awareness was seriously powerful. Dr. Lee spoke about the importance of self-care and breaking the stigma around mental health. The key takeaway? It’s okay to not be okay, and there are resources available to help. If you missed it, don’t worry! The recording will be available on the CAN website soon. Small steps, right? It’s the little things that add up.

There are educational activities planned for the little ones too – like learning about pollination. Who knows, maybe we’ll inspire the next generation of gardeners!

Harvest Update and Garden Produce Availability
Get ready for some fresh, locally grown goodness! We’re harvesting lettuce, radishes, and spinach this week. The produce is available to the community on a first-come, first-served basis at the garden on Saturday mornings. I hear the radishes are especially crisp this year – don’t miss out!
Community Events & Fun
