Great Works Chiropractic & Wellness launches new Pathways Connect Group

The quaint red brick mill buildings that make up South Berwick’s charming Main Street can’t help but harken to a time when community was a true way of life.

With that heritage and spirit squarely in mind, the folks at Great Works Chiropractic & Wellness recently announced the launch of Pathways Connect, a gathering group for families interested in creating a “conscious living community.”

The group will host its inaugural meeting on Tuesday, May 14th at the Great Works office in downtown South Berwick. Specific topics will include “How to Harvest Happiness in Motherhood,” “Becoming Gluten Free,” and “Gratitude.”  

Dr. Briana Duga, co-owner of Great Works along with her husband, Dr. Seth LaFlamme, is spearheading the initiative. For the better part of 18 months, the practice was the exclusive province of Dr. Seth. However, Dr. Bri joined the growing practice in February, which has since moved to 249 Main St. – just a few doors down from the practice’s original office.

An offshoot of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Pathways Connect includes myriad subsidiary organizations throughout the country.

Dr. Bri says she is excited by the prospects of using Pathway Connect as a launching pad for helping foster what she calls an “intentional community” in and around South Berwick.

“We want people to be able to create and connect with their ‘urban tribe,’” she says. “It’s about parents and caretakers interacting with like-minded people and talking about issues and ideas they have in common.”

Dr. Bri hopes the group can foster a sense of community trust – an organic gathering where family wellness is the goal, no matter what the individual perspectives.

“We want this to be a place where anyone can come and not feel alienated or beholden to a specific set of values,” said Duga. “The idea is to talk about it, and foster community through that conversation.”

Those interested in becoming a part of a fun and nurturing group that supports, educates, and empowers parents to meet their children's needs are encouraged to contact Dr. Bri at 207-704-0298 or via email at drbriana.gwcw@gmail.com.

Also be sure to check out the group’s brand new Facebook page to hear the latest information on times, dates, and locations of future meetings as well as periodic useful posts about healthy and conscious living.
