We can still make the mushroom garland but will be making holiday garland and other paper crafts. If you want to make the mushroom garland bring 6 hollowed out cuties (little oranges) cut in 1/2 and dried. ~Bring old cards or fun paper to make gift tags. ~Bring random yarn for yarn baskets.

This session of WE Gather invites you to pause, reconnect, and explore what whole health really means—not just for your body and mind, but for your workplace, your mission, and your community. Together with Chaffee County Public Health, we’re diving into accessible strategies for integrating wellbeing into your everyday life. Through expert insights, lived experience, and local resources, you’ll gain tools to care for yourself, your team, and your organization in ways that promote long-term impact and sustainable success. From mindfulness and movement to public health services and alternative wellness practices, this is your opportunity to discover what’s available right here in Chaffee County—and how your organization can benefit from it. Come to learn, connect, and leave with a renewed sense of clarity, energy, and purpose. Open to anyone who has an interest in these topics. Connect with Local Resources at our Afternoon EXPO: Meet and network with local business owners and service providers who specialize in supporting mental health, mindfulness, and holistic wellbeing through a mini expo/pop-up shop. This is an opportunity to discover resources, products, and services that can enhance your whole health approach, benefiting both your business and personal life.
