Out now! The March/April issue!
A note from our editor, Mary Beth Lawlor:
March has a personality all its own. One day brings blue skies and daffodil optimism; the next, we’re squarely in mud season—boots by the door, air still sharp, spring not quite convincing. Early spring isn’t a glow-up.
It’s a slow thaw. And that feels exactly right for a Health & Wellness issue. Instead of the expected yoga pose on our cover, we couldn’t resist this shot of @jason_doornick at @wearemotoriot in Kent. It makes us smile—and really, what’s healthier than that?
Inside, we meet extraordinary health and wellness leaders, including @drtaranarula , who has a new book out; massage therapist and birthworker @akwaba.massage.birth Amoin Chantal; and cosmetic acupuncturist @gotham_wellness Stefanie DiLibero. Musician @daniel.lauter explores the restorative effects of singing bowls, while trainer @heidi.diedrich shares the essential equipment for building a simple, effective home gym. We take in the beauty created by artist and human rights activist @pamelatakiffphotography and spend time with Native American elder and educator Darlene Kascak. We also share the remarkable story of @projectsage13a , which began in 1979 as a small volunteer effort at Sharon Hospital and has grown into a lifeline for thousands across our region.
Beyond wellness, we visit the new @cowboybutterbbq in New Milford, tour the design-forward @9academyct guesthouse in Salisbury, explore Sullivan Farm’s hands-on agricultural education, and look at how classic car culture is fueling community across the Litchfield Hills. Enjoy!
