welcome, stay a while.

 
the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack is just a lil sprouting that was seeded in a little gypsy girl's dream. a dream to share the love that she could feel all around, a healing love, one that could be felt only by slowing down enough to match its beautifully comforting flow. 🌊💕 

THE MISSION:

the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack is dedicated to creating a tidal wave of transformational love in our communities. OWS serves as a gathering place for kind-hearted souls who wish to help make that positive difference.  The Ohiopyle Wellness Shack was born and sprouted in a deep, healing, maternal love; and it is with this love that it will continue to grow, with one ripple of kindness at a time. ❤️💦🌊

hi. my name is julia, and i am that little gypsy girl... it's me, i am her, and she is me.  i sincerely thank you for your interest in learning more about my humble little shack and pray that you may discover something here that you never knew you were missing. thank you for visiting, and i wish you lots of love.

xoxo - julia 😘

 the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack will always be a gypsy at heart, just like myself.  so, with this in mind, the shack is a network of partnerships that OWS strives to build with non-profits, businesses, creators, artists, teachers, and anyone else who would like to assist in our mission to build and strengthen our local communities! the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack is being registered as a social enterprise and it is dedicated to being a "business" of love, for this humble little shack was born in love, consecrated in love, and we know that flowing with that love is what will guarantee its success moving forward, wherever it may lead. ❤️xoxo

the OWS family is extremely grateful for these blessed partnerships, and we are greatly appreciative of this growing network throughout our local mountain communities. thank you all for playing a part in making the dream come true, after all, teamwork makes the dream work! 😘

the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack's purpose is networking and serving as a vehicle for positive growth and connections in our local mountain communities. it is through this network of connections, that a wide variety of products & services can be offered, enabling it's participants to return to a time where needs were met for all through the teamwork of a thriving community. ❤️

for example: 

if bob the farmer has ears of corn coming out of his ears, and suzie q has eggs for dayz, they could advertise with the shack to either sell, barter, or trade those natural locally sourced items. OWS provides a platform that brings together those wishing to participate in building a strong, healthy, self-sustaining community together!   The Ohiopyle Wellness Shack is designed to be a win, win for all involved by operating on the premise that each will take what they need and give where they can.  it is only because of this ebb and flow of giving and receiving that the shack exists, and it is truly of utmost importance for the continued success of OWS. 

a HUGE THANKS to each of you who choose to support the shack with your generous donations of time, materials, monies, ideas, love, etc.  you are appreciated! THE OHIOPYLE WELLNESS SHACK REMAINS AVALIABLE & OPEN TO ALL WHO WISH TO MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNIY BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT. ❤️

The Ohiopyle Wellness Shacks is for EVERYONE, truly.

the definition of WELLNESS is ...

THE ACT OF PRACTICING HEALTHY HABITS ON A DAILY BASIS TO ATTAIN BETTER PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. 

therefore, wellness is something that anyone and everyone can accomplish. the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack provides a journey to wellness for ALL MEN, WOMEN, & CHILDREN of ALL AGES and of ALL FITNESS LEVELS. the shack is a place where ANYONE CAN BE A TEACHER and that EVERYONE SHOULD BE A STUDENT. there truly is something for everyone at the shack!  ❤️

the passionate souls who choose to teach with the shack are just like you and me, average everyday people who want to make a difference. these generous OWS instructors give, not for the guarantee of payment or accolades, but rather for the joy of sharing their passions with others who are equally as eager to learn within their local communities.

in fact, most OWS teachers share the shack's desire to offer products and services free of charge, because they have also discovered that the most rewarding payment one can receive in this lifetime is from the simple act of giving without expectations, for the ability to give and to receive is a gift in and of itself, and the Ohiopyle Wellness Shack aims to provide that gift to all that are interested in being a part of something larger than themselves. 

(if you don't see what you're searching for, perhaps the shack can help you to create it, see a need, fill a need. )
