​A space to connect, expand, and come home to yourself.
The second Sunday of the month this season, we gather under the trees, in the yurt or in the log house, on land that holds stories, stillness, and soul.
​
Soulful Sundays at The Grove are community offerings meant to inform, inspire, and ignite something within you.
​
Whether you're brand new to spiritual practice or deep in your journey, this is your invitation to connect with like-minded souls, explore powerful ideas, and remember what it feels like to belong to yourself, to each other, and to the Earth.
What to Expect
Each Sunday session offers two uplifting classes:
1:00 PM - Class One
3:00 PM - Class Two
Community discussion and bonfire afterwards
We’ll explore topics like:
• Holistic practices for self-awareness and healing
• Spiritual insights and metaphysical tools
• Mindset shifts to support transformation
• Energy, intention, and the unseen currents shaping our lives
Each class is designed to help you open, reflect, and recharge. No pressure, no dogma, just soul-led connection.
And afterward?
We’ll slow down, sip cider, and gather around the bonfire to share stories, laughter, and presence. Because sometimes the most healing thing isn’t learning something new. it’s being together.

Soulful Sundays are for you if:
✨ You’re craving deeper connection, spiritual and human
✨ You want to learn about energy, consciousness, and self-growth
✨ You love bonfires, good vibes, and thoughtful conversations

The Observer Effect: How Your Awareness Can Change Everything
Nicole Mitchell
​​What if the simple act of shifting your awareness could change your reality?
Science says it can, and so does ancient wisdom. In this 90-minute talk, Nicole Mitchell weaves together quantum physics, spirituality, and nervous system science to explore what really happens when anxiety pulls us out of alignment, and how to find our way back.
​
Drawing on the theory of particle-wave duality and the observer effect, Nicole reveals how anxiety disconnects us from our higher self, collapsing our access to higher energies and limiting the outcomes we're able to create. The good news? Awareness is the doorway back. When we learn to regulate our nervous system, quiet the mind, and consciously choose where we place our attention, we quite literally shift what's possible.
You'll leave with practical tools for a calmer nervous system, a quieter mind, and a deeper understanding of how your consciousness is always, always, always co-creating your experience.
​​​
Nicole Mitchell is a Board-Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Certified Life Coach, and intuitive guide who sits at the intersection of science, spirituality, and the soul. She blends quantum consciousness, nervous system regulation, and sacred tools to help people reconnect with their higher self and consciously create the life they're here to live. Nicole works with both men and women individually and is the founder of Brave Becoming: The Circle, a transformational group experience for women ready to stop shrinking and start becoming.

Let It Go: A Labyrinth Walk & Ritual for Release
Ellen Whiteside - owner of Sacred Grove Retreat Center, Certified Dream Builder coach and radio host
In this experiential class, we’ll explore the transformative practice of letting go-not just as an idea, but as something that can be deeply felt and personally experienced. Through intentional ritual and a contemplative labyrinth walk, you’ll be invited to gently release old stories, emotional heaviness, limiting beliefs, or patterns that no longer support who you are becoming. Together we’ll explore how labyrinths and sacred ritual can serve as powerful tools for reflection, healing, and renewal. Leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and open to what wants to emerge next.​
