YogaXoga Spotlight: Gateway of Hope Ministries

gatewayLast fall, I joined the board of a local organization, Gateway of Hope Ministries. GateWay of Hope Ministries is a faith-based, non-profit center that invites women to experience hope, receive encouragement, and discover transformation. GateWay offers counseling, groups, emotional healing prayer, spiritual direction, a quiet place to relax, and more.

You're Invited: Gateway of Hope is turning 4 this month and having an Open House Birthday Celebration, on May 25th from 4:00 - 8:00 at 815 S Clairborne, Ste. 200, Olathe, KS.  Stop by, have a snack and learn more about this great organization and what they have to offer our community.  There will be chair massages from 5-7 and prizes including a one hour massage and a private YogaXoga class in your home or at the Gateway facility. (You need not be present to win - just stop by and enter your name.)
