Happy (almost) Springtime. We are looking forward to an awesome spring and summer season with you. To make that happen, we are busy planning outdoor seating upgrades, the community garden, and workshops/events that support your well-being in mind, body, and spirit. To help us offer what you want, would you do us a favor?
We need to hear from you!

Upcoming Classes and Events
Here is the March schedule of classes and events. Reminder: when South Jeff school district closes for the day or cancels after-school activities, KYWC activities are also canceled for your safety.
Drumming and Meditation Circle
Did you know that in addition to being fun, drumming with others has several benefits? Research shows that drumming reduces stress and pain, stimulates self-expression, boosts the immune system, and increases feelings of well-being. Drumming is a great workout for your whole brain because it generates new neuronal connections and synchronizes the left and right hemispheres. When the hemispheres pulsate together, your intuition becomes stronger and you become more insightful and self-aware.
Drumming also appears to synchronize the lower areas of the brain (non-verbal) with the frontal cortex (language and reasoning). This integration produces feelings of insight and certainty. (Source: 10 Health Reasons to Start Drumming)
Bring your own drum and rattles or borrow one of ours.
