LIFESTYLE LETTER

Season of "Thanks" - Giving Back Happy Thanksgiving!

As this holiday season approaches, it’s natural for us to reflect on what we are thankful for in our lives. In addition to being extremely grateful for our wonderful family and friends, at West Chester Lifestyle Magazine, we are thankful for our amazing community.

We live in a vibrant and collaborative community in West Chester and it’s truly a gem among many communities across the country. Part of what makes West Chester so great is our giving spirit of service to others. By giving back, we truly find ways to connect across many different avenues.

From helping collect food and personal care items for the West Chester Food Cupboard or the West Chester University Resource Pantry, to preparing and serving meals at Safe Harbor or the Salvation Army, donating clothing and household goods to various organizations in need such as the St. Agnes Day Room and Kindred House at Gaudenzia, teaching English through the Volunteer English Program, volunteering your time to help the animals at the Brandywine SPCA, or even lending a hand in your child’s school programs - the opportunity to serve others is alive and well in West Chester and we are so proud to be part of this community.

Each month, we like to showcase a non-profit in our community to bring awareness to the amazing work they are doing. This month we are featuring Gateway HorseWorks in Malvern, which specializes in incorporating horses into mental health treatment plans. Read on to learn more about their programming and how you can lend a hand.

We love to hear from you as well! If you know of a non-profit that you think should be a feature in our magazine, send our editor an email. We would love to speak with you!

We hope you enjoy this wonderful holiday season and that you are inspired to give thanks by giving back to the community. Find an organization that you feel passionate about and ask how you might be able to lend them a hand! You will be so glad you did!

TAKING THE REINS FOR MENTAL HEALTH GATEWAY HORSEWORKS OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. ARTICLE BY JAMIE AGAMALIAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA GARES PHOTOGRAPHY

G IV IN G BAC K | L IFE + CULTURE

Tucked away on a quiet farm in the Malvern, horses are helping individuals heal.

Gateway HorseWorks gives an alternative pathway to talk therapy for individuals facing trauma, anxiety, grief, addiction, and reincorporation into society.

Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, Gateway HorseWorks founder Kristen de Marco opted to find an alternative pathway to healing through equine therapy. According to de Marco, horses aid the healing process in their nonjudgemental feedback which provides the opportunity for people to reflect on their own life and actions in a different perspective.

“When I started doing this work, so many of the people who were finding their way to me for innovative mental health services, couldn't afford access to them,” said de Marco. “I never turned anyone away. One day, I received a call from a Probation Officer from Chester County. He was looking to start a trauma-informed program for the women he was working with in reentry. Unfortunately, he didn't have access to any funding or support. That call felt like my call to action, so myself along with a Board of Directors, founded Gateway HorseWorks in 2015 with an impetus to make the incorporation of horses for the mental health treatment of people accessible to everyone in our community rather than an elite experience.”

Clients facing mental health struggles with anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, eating disorders, addiction, PTSD, and trauma find that the horses become a metaphor for their own struggles. While talk therapy can help in many instances, horses open up individuals to new experiences and new ways to heal.

“It is amazing to watch people discover new insights, awareness, and perspectives here at the farm. People have the capacity to heal from unimaginable circumstances if given the space to do so,” explains de Marco. “I feel honored to witness these moments and work alongside an incredible team of people and horses every day in service of our community.”

There are many great ways for the community to get involved with the mission of Gateway HorseWorks. Weekly community volunteers are needed to help clean the barns while corporate volunteers come to the farm to work together in team-building activities. The community can come out on November 26th for the fall volunteer day to help beautify the farm and lend a hand where needed.

To sign up to volunteer, contact Jordyn at volunteer@gatewayhorseworks.org.

The community is also encouraged to come attend the 2nd annual Winter Wonder-Farm Day on Sunday, December 3rd. Local craft vendors, holiday music, pictures with ponies, and many other fun activities will usher in the holiday spirit while helping further the mission of Gateway HorseWorks! It’s a great way to see the farm too!

Backyard Oasis How one family reimagined their backyard into a resort-like paradise.

ARTICLE BY JAMIE AGAMALIAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF ROBINSON

What started out as a birthday gift turned into the backyard of their dreams!

Bruce and Nancy Winn contacted Borsello Landscaping a little over a year ago to help them transition Nancy’s new endless pool between their walkout basement and their backyard. Bruce wanted to create an inviting exercise area for their new addition. As soon as they contacted Borsello, the ideas started to flow and soon they were building a

new deck, redoing the pool deck, adding an outdoor kitchen and even putting in an experiential garden.

The Winns like to host gatherings. With 7 kids and 29 grandchildren, there is always someone over visiting. Creating a backyard that could have everyone gathered in one place was important to them.

They had the space available, so they wanted to do it right. This is where Barsello's head landscaper Dean Stafford stepped in.

"Every person on this project from the owner of the company all the way to every single worker who has helped out has been kind, considerate, and hard working. We have never seen such careful attention to detail. Each person is an expert craftsman.

Dean has come up with so many innovative and creative ideas for our yard, and the Borsello team has carried them out to perfection." — Bruce Winn

“This is the project of a lifetime,” Dean stated. ”We have transformed their entire site in many ways. We have renovated all their landscaping, added a paver driveway, installed an outdoor kitchen, hardscaped the area around the pool, and so much more.”

Summers by the pool have a resort-like feel now for the Winns. Lounge chairs adorn their beautifully landscaped pool area and not far away is an outdoor kitchen and combination fire/water feature that provides the opportunity to maximize the time spent together outside of the house. Who needs a vacation when your backyard is already the resort?

In addition to their new pool area and deck, the Winns are currently putting in an experiential garden. On a 1/2 acre of land located beyond their backyard, the garden will be a place to “pause and stop to embrace the surroundings,” states Dean.

The garden will have four very intentional vista points complete with whimsical plantings and stone walls. There will be

22

M UST SE E | HOM E + D ES I GN

a stabilized aggregate garden path lined with cobblestones, along with stone and cedar bridges. The garden will even include a swing as well as a zipline over the entire garden. “Kids of all ages can sit and stay a while,” said Dean. “The garden will be a place full of whimsy, like their very own personal Winterthur.”

Borsello Landscaping is so proud of the work their team has completed thus far in this project. It has been all hands on deck, but they all agree that it has been fun along the way as well. The creative juices have definitely been flowing with this particular project.

If you are looking to update your landscaping or hardscaping don’t wait until the season is upon you. Make sure to contact Borsello Landscaping now to get on the books for the spring. The team will sit with you to discuss your needs and design ideas. As you can see, the sky truly is the limit. With some creativity and a dash of whimsy, you can also have your own personal backyard oasis. Borsello Landscaping can be reached https://www. borsellolandscaping.com/.

Clients can begin to see results in as little as four weeks! It is one of the most popular treatments at Contoured. Since the beginning of the program, participants have lost a combined total of over 400 pounds!

Amy invites everyone to stop by the Contoured open house on Saturday, November 25th from 12 to 4 p.m., where customers can receive discounts and win raffle prizes.

Improvise and use what you have around the house for adding elements to the table. Candlesticks, vases, little pumpkins and gourds, or fall decor you have on hand can make a great centerpiece.

Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or an autumn dinner party, setting a festive table creates the perfect cozy atmosphere. Improvise and use what you have around the house for adding elements to the table. Candlesticks, vases, little pumpkins and gourds, or fall decor you have on hand can make a great centerpiece. Add fresh flowers or dried foliage for that extra layer of texture and color.

The Traditional Table For this classic, traditional look, a plaid throw blanket stands in for a tablecloth to establish a festive base layer. Brass candlesticks with brown taper candles create a simple and elegant centerpiece. Use familiar accents such as amber jars filled with dried grass foliage and brass pheasants to adorn the table. To add a little character to the table, use a recycled wine bottle as a vase.

The simple place setting is enhanced with a dried grass accent and brown silk ribbon tied into a bow to add a special touch to your traditional display.

The Fall Garden Party Table Are you planning to dine al fresco this fall? Create an earthy, fall garden party on the porch by using natural, organic elements, greenery and flowers. To make a statement, create a floral chandelier by hanging flowers upside down above the table using fishing wire (if your space allows).

The centerpiece that runs down the length of this table consists of fresh eucalyptus with gold candlesticks and a ceramic pumpkin vase filled with flowers placed on top a tree trunk charger. Adding small pumpkins and fresh flowers along the center gives a little extra character. Instead of going with the classic white plate, enjoy a pop of color at your outdoor fall garden party with a blue place setting as a nod to the sky.

The French Country Table Rustic yet elegant, this tablescape combines the love of traditional, vintage and natural elements with an updated twist. The Spode Woodland Collection transferware designs are rooted in proper hunting tradition.

The fawn table runner mimicking deer spots brings an earthy, yet elevated foundation as the base for this table setting. Coordinating fawn napkins wrapped with twine and topped with natural feathers creates a whimsical touch. The stunning centerpiece starts with a vintage silver water pitcher that is then filled with fresh, sweet arrowwood Viburnums leaves. To complete the look, pair crystal glasses with vintage crystal stemware.
