We believe that participating and integrating in a vibrant community is vital for human beings to flourish.
Another unfortunate consequence of some features of modern life is the lack of time we have to spend with one another. Many of us don’t know our neighbors, much less the people we pass on the street. While some of this is unavoidable, at Watershed we hope to be a force for community togetherness.
By hosting classes, lectures and other events – we want to bring people in our local community together to learn and talk about all aspects of life. By making financial contributions to local causes and participating in community activities – we want to give back more than we take. By partnering and creating events with other local businesses – we will build a network of support for our patients. Finally, by helping other people to come into wholeness and vitality through our work – we hope that people will become more empowered to build strong relationships with the people around them.
