FUNology
A wellness lifestyle that takes fun seriously
Sandra D at the Vermont/Canada border, upon completing the Catamount Trail, the longest Nordic ski trail in North America.
I was well. Then I wasn’t. No one could fix me—until I realized I had everything I needed.
I discovered an internal toolbox with everything I needed to regain wellness for every age and stage of life.
For the last 40+ years, I’ve refined Funology into a practical, shareable methodosophy (methods/practices plus a mindset-philosophy) that holds up through every life circumstance, including the recent, devastating loss of my husband of 46 years. These aren’t theoretical practices. They’re life-tested, adaptable tools for sustainable wellness. Funology workshops guide you to wellness - no fancy equipment, no expensive programs, just you working with what you already have, to achieve Body • Brain • Behavior wellness by taking fun seriously. It’s so Vermonty!
What Funology Looks Like In The Room
Recent Workshop — Castleton Wellness Conference • June 2026
Building Strength Through Wellness • Vermont State University, Castleton Campus
Sandra presented a 1.5 hour Funology Tapas Workshop (a little Funology tasting) to a sold-out room of 20 mental health and wellness professionals. Participants represented organizations including the Department of Corrections Peer Support Team, Rutland Mental Health Services, Pathways Vermont, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, and Come Alive Outside and others.
“WOW, I LOVED THIS WORKSHOP! and want to do more. I really appreciate how relatable and individualized this workshop was—useful for every walk of life in the room.”
