We are thrilled to announce that the Bubble is back at Healing Grounds! Well, it's an all new Bubble actually! One that looks less 'bubbly' and more 'shady'! And the shade it will offer completely makes up for the change! The arrival of our new Geo Dome marks a significant milestone in our journey of holistic wellness and community healing. Back in January, when our original Bubble shattered when winter blew in like an angry lion with sharp slashy claws, it felt like our hearts shattered too. In fact, it felt like the angry lion had it in for us! Here's the thing, the Bubble was more than just a structure; it was a space where many of you found peace, healing, and a sense of community. It was a place where we built collaborative relationships with other facilitators. It was a place where couples came to connect, to spend quality time with each other, and to prioritize their relationships. People moved and stretched, meditated, breathed, danced, drummed, laughed, cried, and reconnected with self. And when the Bubble shattered, it felt like our hard work and our dreams were shattered too.
During those tough times, we were deeply moved by the outpouring of support and encouragement from our community - both near and far. Your kind words and heartfelt messages where heard and deeply appreciated! We reminded ourselves that we were resilient and adaptable. Our community gave us the strength to reimagine the future of Healing Grounds and to rise once again. And so, we are incredibly grateful to introduce our new Bubble, designed with additional shade to enhance the comfort of our wellness offerings. Our new space symbolizes new beginnings and the continuous growth of our mission at Healing Grounds: to inspire the mind, body, soul, and community well-being.
Putting the Bubble Together: Team work makes the Dream work!
And of course it was windy the day we booked the crane to drop the new cover on the geo dome frame. But our team pulled together and we made the best of a windy day with laughter and perseverance! A special thank you to Mark West who works tirelessly (well maybe not tirelessly, but with dedication and much exhaustion) to support our dream! Thank you to all who came out and helped! We truly are all about team, about community, and about building & rebuilding while fostering hope and resiliency. We can't wait to share our upcoming new offerings and we are incredibly grateful to Travel Alberta for awarding us an Innovation Grant! Because of this, we will be able to develop our dream even further.
