EDEN
Earth Deprogramming Education Network
At EDEN — the Earth Deprogramming Education Network — we believe healing begins with access: to fresh quality food, to safe spaces, to connection, and to purpose.
Our vision is to create a supportive and sustainable model of community healing where individuals and families impacted by life’s hardest challenges — including poverty, addiction, domestic violence, and systemic disconnection — can access real resources and meaningful opportunities for transformation. We recognize that many of these struggles are not isolated events, but the result of deep-rooted generational trauma passed down through families, communities, and cultural systems. By addressing these patterns at the root, we help people break cycles, restore connection, and rebuild a life grounded in safety, purpose, and belonging.
We are building a network rooted in reciprocity. Through partnerships with local farmers, we help provide healthy food to low-income families.
Through Soul Sundays and Community Wellness Days, we open doors to holistic services that support mind, body, and spirit. And through our emerging EDEN Sanctuary project, we aim to offer long-term community living opportunities where individuals can heal, contribute, and grow through caring for the land, animals, and each other.
At EDEN, we see healing not as a quick fix, but as a journey — supported by community, guided by shared responsibility, and grounded in daily practices that nourish life from the inside out.
We are here to reconnect people with the Earth, with each other, and with their own strength. That’s how we begin to deprogram from survival and step into wholeness — together.
Our Mission Work
Fresh Food Access
We partner with local farmers to provide seasonal, organic produce to low-income families. This initiative not only improves access to nutritious food, but also supports local agriculture and food sovereignty. We believe food is medicine, and that nourishment should be a right, not a luxury.
As part of our commitment to food as healing, we are developing community meal programs — including soup kitchens and shared meals — to foster nourishment, connection, and dignity. These meals will bring people together around the table, offering not just sustenance, but belonging and care in every bowl. We believe food is medicine, and that nourishment should be a right, not a luxury.
Support Circles
Our support groups provide safe, confidential spaces rooted in the power of reconnection. These circles support individuals navigating:
-
Grief and spiritual reconnection
-
Addiction recovery and renewal
-
Healing from domestic violence and reclaiming personal power
Each group is guided by trained facilitators and grounded in peer support, emotional safety, and a deep respect for each participant's healing process. At the heart of every circle is the intention to reconnect — with self, with community, and with a life of meaning beyond trauma.
Community Wellness Day
Every month, we host a free or low-cost wellness day featuring a diverse range of holistic health services and educational offerings, including:
-
Energy healing (Reiki, sound therapy)
-
Massage & bodywork
-
Acupuncture and traditional Eastern medicine
-
Intuitive guidance & spiritual coaching
-
Breathwork, movement & meditation
-
Nutritional consultations and whole-food education
-

This day is open to all but especially serves those who have limited access to alternative or integrative healthcare. It is a space for connection, empowerment, and access to resources that support whole-person healing.
Soul Sunday
A weekly or bi-weekly spiritual growth circle featuring:
-
Guided meditation & visualization
-
Sacred journaling
-
Creative and expressive arts
-
Group rituals
-
Intuitive development practices
Soul Sunday is a heart-led space to reconnect with spirit, self, and community. All are welcome.
EDEN Sanctuary (In Development)
EDEN Sanctuary is the heart of our long-term vision — a living, breathing model of regenerative, trauma-informed community. It is designed to serve individuals recovering from deep personal and generational wounds — including those healing from domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, and systemic neglect.
Residents of the Sanctuary will live and heal within a land-based, purpose-driven ecosystem, engaging in:
-
Daily care of community gardens and herbal medicine plots
-
Animal rescue, tending, and therapeutic animal connection
-
Healing arts: yoga, energy work, expressive arts, and ritual
-
Life and vocational skills development: from cooking and carpentry to community facilitation
-
Sacred living practices: morning meditations, moon circles, Earth ceremonies
In exchange for active participation, residents receive housing, holistic support, and access to healing pathways not typically available in traditional social services. The sanctuary will function on principles of reciprocity, collaboration, and respect for personal pace.
Each person’s healing journey will be supported through mentorship, trauma-informed care, and the rhythms of Earth-based living. This is not a shelter — it is a space of rebirth, where wholeness is cultivated in relationship with others, with land, and with the sacred within.
Why EDEN Matters
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community, through shared meals, mutual care, co-regulation, and remembrance. EDEN is more than a nonprofit; it is a living vision of what becomes possible when we restore the relationship between people, purpose, and planet.
We are here to reconnect people with the Earth, with each other, and with their own strength. This is how we deprogram from survival and step into wholeness — together.
