It's a sign!

Feels so official!

If you've started a business before (or ministry or organization of any sort), then you know all the things that go into the beginning. In April we got the place, in May we became partners and starting hosting our fitness classes and kayak rentals. In June we got the website and now we have SIGNS. The big one out front is still in progress because, as you know, these things take time.

Some FAQ's about FOUR WINDS:

1. Why the name FOUR WINDS? We love the breeze coming off the water, the wind/breath of the Holy Spirit blowing around this place and into each of us, as well as the movement that goes with breath. So we ran with it.

2. Who are the partners? WEFIT Extreme Fitness (Beth Busbin) - nutrition coach, fitness instructor. Camp's Getaway Gear (Eric and Jessica Camp) - kayak and pontoon rentals, community kayak events. The Wildflowers (Angie Stryker) - yoga, paddleboard classes and excursions, retreats.

3. How did you come to rent the clubhouse? Divine timing. We asked, the Stone family rented it to us. We are so incredibly grateful!

4. What are your hours? MWF 9 - 3, T/Th 9 - 6, Sat 8 - 2 Drop in for a visit!

5. What is a collective of outdoor entrepreneurs? Well, we are all small business owners with other roles and jobs. We love the outdoors and fitness and adventure. It made sense for us to collaborate and be together for the community. We hope that other outdoor enthusiasts who have small businesses will join us as we promote wellness, fun, fitness and adventure here.

6. Are y'all from here? Nope. Some of us have family roots here in the area but we are all transplants who have fallen in love with Wedowee and want to dig into our community and love it and the people well.

7. Does the pool work? Nope. And there is no plan for it to be fixed. It's not in our lease and as we understand it, the cost is too great to work on on it. And we are ok with that because we swim in the lake!

8. What if I'm a woman who works remotely and I need to get out of the house, can I co-share the space? Absolutely. Rent by the hour or the month and be social, jump in a fitness class, take walks by the water, use the kitchen for your needs. https://www.fourwindsalabama.com/book-online

9. Can people rent out the space as a venue? Yes, as long as there are no plans for alcohol, we love to rent the space for events! https://www.fourwindsalabama.com/book-online

10. How do you support other local entrepreneurs? We offer entrepreneurship classes in the winter. We offer meeting room space to rent, complete with projector and screen and sound. Angie at The Wildflowers offers leadership development and coaching for women. We offer co-working space for those who are starting up their businesses in a supportive environment. We make reels for fellow businesses in the area. We do team building retreats and days apart for businesses and organizations. We offer a retreat in February in Charleston for spiritual entrepreneurs. We think entrepreneurs are the coolest.
