When we build connections, connections build us.
Linking as Wellness and Connections Impact Partners, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland and American Greetings share the belief that it’s not always what’s within us, but what's between us, that makes us whole. 

We are excited to launch our first joint project -- Greeting Cardio™.

In this pioneering and transformative 4 week class, participants meet in a small group setting and use guided discussion, videos and writing prompts to explore 

• Self-Love
• Vitality
• Resilience
• Encouragement

The hour-long Greeting Cardio™ class concludes with participants each writing an exclusively-designed American Greetings card to send to someone important in their lives.

The key to wellness is simpler than you may think
In our quest to be happier and healthier, we continually seek new ways to achieve wellness. We focus on enhancing our bodies, eating better, improving our finances and purchasing more things. Yet, no matter what we achieve, we still feel discontented and somehow incomplete. As we've searched for ways to feel more whole, we have often forgotten to look where it matters: each other. 
 
Lasting 80 years, the longest study on happiness proves that the key to overall happiness and health is developing and maintaining close relationships. Simple to understand? Sure.  Simple to do? Absolutely not.
 
We can help.

For 165 years the YMCA of Greater Cleveland has focused on building spirit, mind and body – putting spirit first.  As a meaningful connections company, American Greetings believes in the power of relationships and the impact that cards have on our overall health and happiness.

For this special launch, NO YMCA membership is required and we are offering this program at NO COST to you!
