Would you be the spark that ignites our growth by sharing your positive thoughts/experiences at KYWC in a review?

Google business profiles with 5 or more reviews shine twice as bright. We're just three reviews away from that goal. Will you be one of the three (or more) who helps us shine brighter?

Thank you so much for being an integral part of our journey! 💫 You can use the link here or the QR code to post your review. https://g.page/r/CQ7ApnYmslW-EBM/review

New yoga class begins this Wednesday at 9am. It’s a Gentle Yoga class appropriate for all levels.

Gentle yoga is a type of yoga practice that emphasizes slow, mindful movements, relaxation, and accessibility. It is designed for individuals of all levels, including beginners, seniors, and those with physical limitations.
Key Characteristics:
Slow pace: Poses are held for longer periods, allowing for deep relaxation.
Modified poses: Poses are adapted to accommodate different abilities and limitations.
Props: Blocks, blankets, and chairs may be used to support the body and make poses more accessible.
Focus on breath: Deep, mindful breathing is a central component of gentle yoga.
Restorative elements: The practice often includes restorative poses, such as Savasana (co**se pose), to promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
Non-competitive: Gentle yoga is a supportive and inclusive environment where there is no pressure to achieve perfect form.
Benefits:
Improves flexibility and mobility
Reduces stress and anxiety
Promotes relaxation and sleep
Strengthens and tones muscles
Increases body awareness
Improves balance and coordination
Gentle yoga is a great way to introduce yourself to yoga or to modify an existing practice to make it more accessible and relaxing. It can be a beneficial addition to any wellness routine.

Jill Alguire wrote us the loveliest note and gave permission for us to share it with you. BTW, when you see Jill at the Center (she's usually there for Healing Sunday), ask her for a hug. She gives the very best hugs from her heart.

"Been coming (to KYWC) since 2007-08. This is a place where I feel I belong. Coming home. Like-minded people where you can be yourself and grow on all levels each time you are here. We are a soul-level family. When I walk in the door, I leave the world behind for a few hours and be a part of a day that brings balance, peace to my spirit, and love to my heart. It helps bring strength for when you rejoin your other world and meet the challenges of day-to-day. Nowhere else in this life have I found this."

So much of our suffering comes not from what happens to us, but from how much we resist it. We fight with reality, we try to control people, and we get angry when life doesn’t unfold exactly how we imagined. But here’s the truth: not everything is within your control—and that’s okay.

💡 When you spend your energy trying to change others, you only end up frustrated. People will be who they are until they decide to change. And many situations in life—delays, losses, setbacks—are outside your hands no matter how much you push.

⚖️ What you can control is your response. Your mindset. Your attitude. Your peace. Instead of feeding anger and heartache, practice acceptance. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means freeing yourself from the chains of what was never yours to hold.

🌿 Imagine this:

You can’t stop the storm, but you can carry an umbrella.

You can’t silence every critic, but you can choose not to listen.

You can’t change someone’s heart, but you can protect your own.

✨ Peace begins the moment you stop trying to control the uncontrollable. Protect your energy. Let go of what isn’t yours to fix, and you’ll find that life feels lighter, calmer, and more meaningful.

Now that Mother Nature has cooled off a bit, it's a lovely time to come and enjoy our grounds. Invite loved ones, pack a picnic, and let the serenity of our surroundings uplift your spirit! 🌳💛

A heartfelt thank you to Steven Williams, Diane Cade, and Friends for their efforts and creative vision in designing and creating this space for us.

PS - We'd be delighted if you'd capture the joy of your visit and share it with us, tagging us in your photos! 📸
