Join us for a special community wellness morning on Saturday, April 18, 8:30 – 10:30 AM at the Green Haven Project Community Garden as we lead up to Earth Day. Start with coffee and connection, then head into the garden. Samantha Reynolds, founder of Cafe Namaste, along with one of the co-founders of GHP, will introduce the project and share why community service matters for both personal and collective well-being.
Together we'll plant seeds and help grow food for the community as we lead up to Earth Day. No experience needed. Just show up ready to get your hands in the dirt, and spread good energy.

Why We Do This
Wellness has become synonymous with studios, memberships, and self-care routines. But something is missing from the conversation: collective wellbeing and purpose. Research published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who volunteer at least once a month report better mental health than those who don't (Greater Good), and Harvard researchers have linked regular volunteering to lower levels of physical pain, reduced cardiovascular risk, and better physical function with age (NPR). The science is clear: showing up for others is one of the most effective things you can do for yourself too.
Cafe Namaste hosts monthly volunteer mornings because wellness was never meant to be a solo practice. We grow when we serve together.
Green Haven Project is a nonprofit organization focused on creating community gardens and sustainable ecosystems in areas known as food deserts. They provide education on horticulture and nutrition to youth, and all food grown is given away to local residents free of charge. Their mission is to empower residents to live a healthy, sustainable life through fresh, locally grown food.
