An Alpine Lake retreat connects practice with a donation
A women’s gathering in West Virginia directed part of its proceeds to Veterans Yoga Project.
A 29 October Garrett County Republican report describes a Women’s Wellness Retreat at Alpine Lake Resort in West Virginia. Hosted by Tina Dick of Greater Connections Yoga & Reflexology with co-host Kathy Andes, it brought together participants from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
The charitable connection deserves clear terms
According to the report, part of the proceeds was donated to Veterans Yoga Project. The organisation’s own site describes its work supporting veterans and their families through mindful resilience practices and community programmes.
The account does not disclose a donation amount or independently measure the retreat’s effects on participants. Those limits matter when describing a gathering that combines personal practice and charitable support. The news here is the specific connection between a regional retreat and a named recipient, rather than a promise about what a weekend of wellness can achieve. For other hosts, it raises a practical question about making a charitable purpose clear alongside the programme itself.
