In any given week, Wainwright House might host a women’s health panel, a meditation class, a children’s group, and a wedding. It’s a rare range of offerings, but at its heart is one simple idea: bringing people together.

The Watershed Literary Festival shares that spirit, connecting readers and writers to spark imagination and conversation. Spanning a variety of genres, the festival welcomes authors from near and far for readings and workshops that inspire our Rye community. 📖

As Wainwright House celebrates its 75th anniversary, we are proud to honor Watershed’s founders for creating such a meaningful experience for our community.

A place like Wainwright House endures because people choose to care for it - and keep choosing, year after year.

Robert “Bob” Manheimer is one of those people.

As former Board President and Treasurer, Bob helped guide Wainwright through challenging chapters, bringing steady leadership and a deep commitment to its future. His service helped sustain something precious: a place where people can find connection, discover new possibilities, and feel part of a community.

As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we are proud to honor Bob and the lasting difference his dedication has made.

Thank you, Bob, for helping carry Wainwright’s story forward. 🤍

The heart of a community is found in the people who give so much of themselves to it.

As we celebrate 75 years of Wainwright House, we are proud to honor Rich Savage—a Hall of Fame coach, beloved teacher, and an enduring source of encouragement for so many.

His legacy lives in the confidence he has nurtured, the possibility he has seen in others, and the lives he has helped shape.

On October 16, we look forward to celebrating Rich at our 75th Anniversary Diamond Benefit - an evening honoring legacy, community, and leadership. 💎 There’s so much to look forward to! Stay tuned as we share more of what’s in store for this very special evening.

And just like that… the countdown is ON. 💎✨

75 years deserves a celebration.

And when we think about what we’re celebrating, it really is all of this.

The people who gather here. The conversations. The music. The movement. The celebrations. The quiet moments. That view that somehow never gets old. And a house that, for 75 years, has continued to make room for all of it.

That’s Wainwright. And that’s worth celebrating.

On October 16, we’re doing exactly that — beneath the tent, by the Sound, with incredible food, music, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. 🥂

And between now and then, we have plenty to share.

We’ll be celebrating our honorees, taking you behind the scenes, and giving you a peek at some auction items that might bring out everyone’s competitive side. 👀

Consider this fair warning.

75 years. One very special place. One very good reason to throw a party.

Let the countdown begin. 💎

For Dee Coffey and Andrea West of totallywestchester Team at Compass, sponsoring Wainwright House’s 75th Anniversary Diamond Benefit is a natural extension of the way they approach both business and community: with intention, connection, and a belief in creating opportunities for others to grow.

With more than 15 years of combined experience, Dee and Andrea have built a hands-on real-estate practice rooted in care, trust, and an intimate knowledge of Westchester.

That commitment extends beyond their clients. Through the National Association of REALTORS®’ Ignite Others financial-literacy program, and in collaboration with a regional chapter of My Brother’s Keeper, they have helped bring practical financial education to high school students.

We are deeply grateful to Dee and Andrea for their generous sponsorship—and for investing so meaningfully in the community we share.

✨ As we count down to October 16, we’ll be sharing special previews of this year’s honorees, details from behind the scenes, and some of the extraordinary experiences coming to our live and silent auctions.

Want to be among the first to see what’s in store? DM us “BENEFIT” along with your email address, and we’ll add you to our private Benefit preview list.

There is so much more to come. We can’t wait to share it with you!

A little space to ask: What do I want now?

Still Becoming is an intimate workshop for women navigating a season of change—an opportunity to turn some of the attention you so often give to others back toward yourself.

Through guided writing, meditation, and meaningful conversation, psychotherapist and life coach Aviva Kamander will help you reflect on where you are, reconnect with what matters, and explore what you want the next chapter to hold.

✨ only 3 spots remain ✨

You laugh. You sneeze. You jump. And suddenly… you’re crossing your legs. 😳

We joke about it. We quietly accommodate it. We tell ourselves it’s just what happens after babies, or with age.

But what if it doesn’t have to be?

Your pelvic floor is the remarkable network of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, uterus, and other pelvic organs—and it plays a role in everything from pregnancy, childbirth and s*x to core strength, exercise, and simply laughing without leaking.

For something that does so much, most of us know remarkably little about it.

DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH: An Honest Conversation About Pelvic Floor Health brings together three pelvic floor physical therapists and a high-risk OB/GYN for the conversation so many of us should have had years ago.

We’ll talk pregnancy and postpartum. Athletic life. Pelvic pain and pressure. S*x. Leaking. Core and back health. Perimenopause and menopause. What’s preventable. What’s treatable. And what we’ve been conditioned to accept as “normal” that may not have to be.

No hushed tones. No euphemisms. No expectation that you should somehow already know.

Just expert insight, honest questions, and a better understanding of a part of your body that deserves far more attention.

Because leaking when you laugh may be common. That doesn’t mean you simply have to live with it.

September finds its rhythm at Wainwright House. 🎻

At the heart of this month’s calendar is Strings on the Sound—an elegant evening of classical music beneath the tent, with sweeping waterfront views, complimentary w**e and light bites, and a beautiful program performed by the Sound Shore Quartet.

And there is something for our littlest community members, too, with Wunderkind’s Sensory Wonders: Toddle Time and Tiny Tales—joyful experiences designed especially for young children and their grown-ups.

From sound baths, breathwork, and Yoga Nidra to spiritual conversation, labyrinth walks, and a celebration of the Fall Equinox, September offers meaningful ways for every generation to gather, explore, and connect.

Discover the full calendar and reserve your place through the link in our bio.

🕊️ Tonglen: A Community Practice of Compassion

When the world feels heavy, gathering together can be its own kind of medicine. Join us for a complimentary Tonglen practice led by Katy Romita - a Buddhist tradition of breathing in what’s difficult and breathing out love, compassion, and healing for ourselves and others.

No meditation experience needed. Nothing to achieve, nowhere to arrive — just presence, community, and open hearts.
