GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires (NPC) aims to assist nonprofit leaders in improving their wellbeing and thus their ability to continue having a meaningful impact in our community.
 
On July 28 from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m., instructor Susan Taylor will host a 90-minute, online Masterclass in which participants will explore how to identify and shift limiting mindsets that contribute to overwhelm and depletion — and instead cultivate mindsets that foster vitality, resilience, collaboration, and purpose.
 
Entitled "Wellbeing Matters: Shifting Mindsets for Sustainable Impact," the Masterclass is ideal for executives as well as frontline staff, changemakers and community leaders who want to serve others without sacrificing their own wellbeing.
 
NPC's associate director McCaela Donovan said, "This program is especially valuable for those navigating rapid change, expanding organizational reach, and recovering from periods of high stress." Participants will learn how mindsets affect effectiveness, how to recognize limiting beliefs, apply strategies to cultivate resilience, and create the beginnings of a personalized action plan to prioritize wellbeing.
 
According to a press release:
 
Susan Taylor is a coach and facilitator with more than 30 years of experience working with some of the most renowned thought leaders in emotional, spiritual, and leadership intelligence. She is passionate about empowering clients to unlock their potential and achieve meaningful results in both their personal and professional lives.
 
The cost of the "Wellness Matters" Masterclass is $50. Register online at npcberkshires.org. Additional wellness workshops, some in-person, will take place in the fall.

New Universally Accessible Sheffield Trail To Be Highlighted on Guided Walk

SHEFFIELD, Mass. — The Sheffield Land Trust will hold its annual Fall Property Walk on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 1 pm at its Ashley Falls Woods property off Rte 7A in Ashley Falls.  
 
The guided walk will highlight the completion of the first phase of upgrading a section of trail to be universally accessible.  Signage and other improvements will follow in subsequent phases.
 
Join guides Elia Delmolino and Neal Chamberlain to experience this new recreational opportunity.
 
Neal Chamberlain is the long-time Land Trust volunteer who guides the maintenance of the trails, and Elia DelMolino is from Greenagers, whose youth work crews have been busy this summer and fall in transforming 0.3 miles of the existing trail into an ADA-compliant accessible trail. The trail of compacted stone dust wanders through mowed meadows and forest, with a new bridge and boardwalk crossing the stream and wet areas.
 
The Land Trust thanked Greenagers, for making this trail accessible and the Berkshire Environmental Endowment, Eagle Fund, Fields Pond Foundation, and MassTrails for the grants that helped fund the work.
 
Before the walk, enjoy seasonal refreshments. Please wear good walking shoes and warm clothing.
 
This event is free, open to the public and family friendly.
