Spring 5 Year Anniversary Dinner in the Gardens of Whittemore
Food Makes Friends
UPDATED 2022
If we learned anything from these last 2 years, is the importance of family and friends and yearning to be close.
We found at WhittemoreCCC we were able to bring people together - socially distant, when called for, but together none-the-less. It was food that brought everyone come together.
In partnership with Ben Walmer, HDC (Highland Dinner Club) a Broadloom production, Dan Lipow of the Foraged Feast and Chef Hank, CJ (Culinary Journey) and Guest Chefs (all of the same mindset) - they bring you sustainable foods, locally sourced in the form of a dinner party, fundraiser, cocktail party or small plates at a concert. It's not just food - its what brings us all together!
Yoga in the Gardens
Wellness
UPDATED 2023
Wellness & Nature
We will continue with
Yoga, TaiChi/QiGong, Pilates, Meditation and adding Yoga Fusion & Movement to our list of classes. As the weather get swarmer - we will move outdoors, in our Gardens, Pumpkin Field and even in the stream.
LAUNCH - Monthly Wellness Salon
Come join us to connect with fellow members of our community over coffee & tea, learn some insights on specific health topics from our nutritionist, and listen to guest speakers while they educate us on their field of practice. In addition to the Wellness Salon which will meet monthly on Saturday mornings, we will be offering special programs on a variety of healing methods.
Walking & Mindfulness Experience
In 2023 our Walks will be scheduled around the The Equinox & Solstices. A new experience as we walk the trails of WhittemoreCCC.
Meditation Circuit
We have unveiled 3 of the 5 benched and look forward to unveiling the last two in 2023! Currently the trail map, and locations of each bench, as well as their associated Mindfulness Meditation can be found HERE!
Why are some of our programs in both Wellness & Nature - becasue you cannot have one without the other.
Today it is even more important than ever to take care of oneself, being mindful, staying healthy and what better place than in nature.
