The 2021 Weavers Way Wellness Team
The Weavers Way Wellness Team’s efforts to share knowledge with Co-op members and shoppers hit a wall last spring with the arrival and spread of COVID-19 in the area. In addition, the team had to pivot where possible in order to care for their clients and make a living.
But starting next month, they’re back. According to team member Esther Wyss-Flamm, the group recognizes that “this is truly an important time to be reaching out to the Weavers Way membership about wellness.” Look for a column from one of the members in future Shuttles, and check our eNews and Calendar of Events for future Wellness Team virtual workshops.
