ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

We teach mindfulness and eco-healing. Mindfulness is the supervision of attention. Eco-healing is restoring right relationship with nature.

OUR VISION

Our vision is a land transformed, from a land of ignorance, hatred, and greed, to a land of love.

OUR STORY

Overview
Voice of wisdom, voice of nature

Inspired by native and classical wisdom traditions, Soil & Soul has been working to cultivate and elevate the voice of wisdom in us and around us since 2007. We believe the voice of wisdom and the voice of nature are one and the same. (Note: Founded as Auroras Voice, we changed our name in 2020 to Soil & Soul to center the two domains of our mission space).

Program highlights
Award-winning community organizing outdoors

Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County awarded our Holistic Wellness Circle a Community-Driven Innovation grant (2021).

Our High School Mindfulness Clubs won a Great Ideas Initiative grant (2018), plus a two-year Capacity-Building Pipeline grant (2019, 2020).

Our Delray Beach Children's Garden won the Impact 100 Palm Beach County Environment grant (2018) and is now an independent 501(c)3 agency.

All of our programs are rooted in nature.

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.
