At The Grounding Stone, we strive to engage with both ourselves and with our fellow humans from a place of compassion. We believe that compassion is rooted in wisdom and strength, and we view this way of being as a lifelong journey.

We view our experiences of life and identity on a spectrum. We strive to find balance in the extremes, and to engage with both the light and the dark. We believe that your experiences are valid, and that you have a damn good reason to feel everything that you feel. We believe that by engaging with the entirety of the spectrums on which we travel, we are more easily able to dismantle feelings of shame, and to engage compassionately with ourselves and our stories.

We value age and texture, and we strive to live conscious of our impact on the earth, on ourselves, and on one another.  A part of our conscious living includes a bleeding awareness of the unceded land on which we reside and love. We understand and acknowledge that the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh) People belong to this land where The Grounding Stone was birthed. We acknowledge that we now have members of our team working from different locations, including within the unceded traditional territory of the Lheidli T'enneh, and within the unceded traditional territory of the K'ómoks First Nation, which is comprised of descendants of Pentlatch, Lekwiltok, and the five K’ómoks tribes (the Sathloot, Sasitla, Leeksun, Cha’chae, and Tat’poos).  While not invited, we are grateful to be here.
