Name: Taiwanese American Wellness Association.
我們關注身心健康在日常生活中的長期累積與維持。本協會致力於推廣以生活節奏、身體感受與情緒調節為基礎的健康觀點。養生不被視為短期改善或自我要求的表現，而是一種能在不同生命階段中持續實踐的生活方式。身體不只是生理功能的總和，也與情緒、記憶與日常經驗密切相關。
我們認為，許多身心不適源自長期壓力、過度消耗與生活節奏失衡，而不單是個人的意志或努力不足。因此，健康的培養需要回到日常生活本身，調整節奏、降低負荷，並建立可長期維持的身心狀態。
協會活動以小規模、低干擾、可持續參與為原則，避免過度刺激與形式化流程。我們重視清楚的安排、穩定的節奏與參與者的自主空間，陪伴社區成員在生活中建立長期而穩定的身心健康基礎。
We focus on the long-term cultivation and maintenance of physical and mental well-being in everyday life.
The Association is dedicated to promoting a holistic approach to health that emphasizes daily rhythms, bodily awareness, and emotional regulation. Well-being is not viewed as a short-term improvement or a measure of personal performance, but as a sustainable way of living that can be practiced across different stages of life. The body is understood not only as a set of biological functions, but as closely connected to emotions, memory, and daily experience.
Projects We're Proud Of

Such as hiking, museum visits, and farm experiences—integrated with the wisdom of Chinese medicine, nourishing dietary guidance, and grounded self-care practices to cultivate holistic well-being.

除了由養生專家帶領的互動課程，分享壓力管理、覺察飲食與自我照顧的實用方法，我們也不定期安排瑜珈、氣功、靜坐、書法、桌遊與手工藝活動，讓身體動起來、心靜下來，在生活中慢慢找回自己的節奏。
