Mission: Healing & Empowering People To Reach Their Full Potential
Vision: A Healed & Abundant World Living In Harmony With Nature
Collective Healing is the healing of the many traumas, community divides, relational & interpersonal dynamics, and individual woundings through a blending of education, and healing modalities. When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.
Planetary Regeneration is the healing of the ecosystems of all life on Earth. This is done through a shift in how we relate to Nature, and the systems we use to create and sustain human life on our one Home.
Human Potential is the actualization of our purpose and abilities in this lifetime. This is done through a process of continual improvement, studying, training, and practice to become the best version of ourselves that we can be.

Why Soul Garden?
Why Now?
Climate Safe Haven
By the end of the 21st Century Humboldt County will be one of the safest zones in terms of Climate Change and safety. Therefore, Humboldt County should be one of the ground zero’s for solving the Climate Crisis.
Educational Update
The current educational system is incomplete and tends to fail students, while simultaneously putting them into debt and costing them a fortune. We require education that accounts for the whole system and person, and that meeds the urgent demands of our time.
Wholistic Healthcare
Our current Western model of healthcare tends to treat symptoms, and not root causes. This ultimately costs more money, is less effective, and has a whole host of negative side effects. When we treat the whole person we can prevent disease, create higher quality of life, and improve productivity in people.
Trauma
The many types of Trauma existing in the world today require safe spaces and trained practitioners to take care of our collective woundings. This will raise people’s quality of life and give some people their lives back. This will ultimately create a safer, and more harmonious world that works for everyone.
Solutions & Nature
People require spaces to come together and discuss, ideate, and collaborate surrounding humanities grandest challenge. Soul Garden will make a beautiful and appropriate template for the rest of the world to emulate in terms of built environment, culture, innovation, and healing the divide between Humanity & Nature.
Gender, Equity, Inclusion
We’re moving into and creating a world that works for everyone. In this world the benefits of gender, equity, and inclusion actually create benefits for everyone, including economic growth per capita. This creates a world of increased safety and support where everyone needs are met, and they can focus on becoming their best selves.

Soul garden Culture
Heart-Centered Culture can create a more empowered team with more resilience, presence, flow, flexibility, and connection.
While also increasing communication, teamwork, employee satisfaction, staff retention, reductions in sick time and health care claims costs. This ultimately creates more revenue.
Lean & Agile Organization Culture also known 'Living Systems' create non-hierarchical teams with the leader as a gardener, visionary, and coach tending the garden.
Due to their efficiency and speed, Living Systems Organizations can develop products five time faster, make decisions three times faster, and reallocate resources more quickly than their traditional counterparts. This ultimately creates more revenue.
Companies with a Learning Culture that invest in their employees have less employee turnover, they feel happier and more satisfied in their work, are more engaged and solution oriented, and team-oriented.
Employees are also less likely to be stressed, able to take on more responsibilities, and feel more confident in their daily lives. This ultimately creates more revenue.
