Grounded to Grow retreat logo

A place for nature-based pediatric occupational therapists to get grounded and grow through community.

Grounded to Grow is an intentional community retreat, where each attendee contributes to the success of the event.  We arrive as equals and colleagues, embracing an abundance mindset, open sharing, a willingness to give more than we expect to receive, and the intention to lift each other up as people, professionals, and business owners.
