Pathways Connect: Establishing the Wellness Community

The purpose of Pathways Connect is to provide the resources and tools to introduce and foster the family wellness lifestyle in your community.

Using Pathways magazine as the primary resource, practitioners in your community are hosting Pathways Gathering Groups in their offices so families can come together and share their experiences and visions for conscious living choices.

These Gathering Groups will be meeting monthly and parents will have the opportunity to come to discuss issues most important to their family wellness lifestyle. The practices that are hosting these gatherings will offer complimentary Pathways magazines for group discussion.

Parents, take this opportunity to meet like-minded community members and utilize these groups to build social and health connections. Attendance at the Gathering Groups does not require membership or fees of any kind...ever. Come, take some time out of your day to nourish and expand your parenting options.
