Therefore, The Woods Arts and Wellness was established as a non-profit organization so that we can offer an income-based sliding scale to those who do not have access to extended health care coverage or other funding sources, and whose annual household income does not exceed $100,000. This sliding scale structure ensures we can offer the most access to services with our limited funding. We also offer low-cost group programs in arts, expressive arts, music, and nature-based therapy, along with yoga for wellbeing classes. , If you are in need of additional support and may be interested in anything we are offering, please reach out to us. We believe greater impact is achieved by working together and we love to collaborate with others. If you have ideas on how we could effectively partner to improve our community, we would be excited to hear from you. Thank you for supporting us as we open our doors to the community in and around North Vancouver! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
