THE IMPACT
People who spend time with Soil & Soul change their habit energies. Through mindfulness, they enjoy more peace of mind and less negativity bias. Through time in nature, they feel more awake and alive. And through economic solidarity, they improve their financial wellness. We come together to do what we cannot do alone.
