Join the Giving Circle as we Launch our First Annual Fund Drive
Everyday Wellbeing began with the conviction that vibrant health should be within reach for all. We exist to lower barriers and enable everyone to benefit from the practices and information that enhance health.
Our mission is simple: make wellbeing accessible by offering donation-based classes, workshops, and events that empower people to live their healthiest lives regardless of background or income. Yoga Outside began almost ten years ago (with the inspiration and generosity of Jacqui Cowles at Andrew’s Greenhouse) with a simple vision: make yoga freely accessible to everyone, EVERY DAY. We envision a world where access to tools and practices that promote mental, emotional, and physical health is not the domain of a few, but a shared reality for all.
Today, we expand that vision. From yoga, meditation, dances, and qigong classes to workshops on bone health, balance, nutrition, and more, every event is offered freely. We create welcoming, inclusive spaces where people reconnect with themselves and each other to build lasting wellbeing. Our community-based offerings open doors that are often closed by cost or circumstance. Programming is open to all, because everyone deserves access to vibrant health and connection.
Now, we’re ready to grow!
I am excited to announce the launch our first annual fund drive.
To deepen our impact across a wider segment of the community, we’re raising funds to hire our first Executive Director. We are committed to finding a dedicated leader who is passionate about individual and community wellness, and who will help us expand programs, build partnerships, and shape a sustainable future.
We recognize that there are a multitude of worthy causes seeking your support. I like to think of Everyday Wellbeing as a CSA. Amherst is home to one of the first Community-Supported Agricultural Farms in the country, Brookfield Farm, and it is fitting that it should also be the birthplace of community-supported wellbeing.
With your contribution, we can:
Keep every class and workshop free and donation-based
Expand our offerings to schools and underserved communities
Ensure fair compensation for instructors and providers
Invest in long-term infrastructure for sustainable, community-led growth
Every dollar you give helps shape a future where everyone can thrive. Your support moves us toward a world where self-care, mental health, and community engagement aren’t luxuries, but essential, accessible components of a well-balanced life.
Let’s grow toward a healthier, more connected world—together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Linda Castronovo, Board President
On behalf of the Everyday Wellbeing Board of Directors
