Workshops

From one-hour webinars to day-long convenings, workshops are on opportunity for creative and embodied connection — using our hands, our imagination, and the natural world to access wisdom that our minds alone can't reach. Play, creativity, image, and the natural world are paths to the sacred, not just supplements to more "serious" spiritual practice.

Workshop offerings include:

  • SoulCollage® — creative collage process for self-discovery and insight

  • Grounded Offerings — land art and other outdoor experiences connecting contemplation, creativity, and the natural world

  • Grounded Pause —contemplative webinars that provide space for reflection on the seasons of the natural world – and of our own lives

  • Spiritual Grounding for Changemakers — Reconnect with your purpose and fellow changemakers and learn grounding spiritual practices to use in daily life

Exercise your creativity and learn grounding spiritual practices

Retreats

Reconnect with yourself, the natural world, and other changemakers

Retreats offer time away from the demands of daily life to rest, reflect, and reconnect - to the natural world, ourselves, the sacred, and other changemakers. Set in nature and rooted in contemplative practice, retreats create space for the kind of renewal that only comes from slowing all the way down — together.

Retreats weave contemplative practice, SoulCollage® and other accessible creative and writing practices, time in nature, gentle ritual, and communal meals, with plenty of unstructured time for rest, solitude and reflection. Participants leave rested and reconnected to joy, purpose, and a sense of community with other changemakers.

Spiritual Companionship

Deep listening and accompaniment for your spiritual journey

Spiritual companionship is the practice of deep listening and compassionate presence to help us connect with our deepest selves and something greater than ourselves - however we may perceive or refer to it: the divine, spirit, source, or simply mystery.

This connection with ourselves, something greater, and our community brings meaning to our lives and work, supporting us through life’s inevitable ups and downs. Spiritual companionship services offer space for reflection and renewal, especially for those:

  • Longing for deeper spiritual grounding or integration

  • Feeling despair or overwhelm with the needs of the world

  • Discerning significant decisions

  • Navigating midlife or other life transitions

  • Experiencing ecological grief

  • Deconstructing or reconstructing their faith or spirituality

Individuals of any faith tradition, or none at all, are welcome. Grounded Impact is welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals. Appointments online or in person in Durham, NC.‍ ‍
