Living Stones Center helps trauma survivors heal and thrive through community—because no one recovers alone.
We offer before, during, and after professional help, such as life coaching, small groups, workshops, and safe spaces that foster talking, education, humor, activities, games, and the arts.
These aren’t just feel-good moments; they rebuild trust, reduce isolation, and spark joy, with studies suggesting 60-80% of survivors in community programs report better emotional regulation.
We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating shared journeys where healing happens together—your support paves the way.
Upheavals in organizations, marriages, relationships, and families are the result of unrecognized traumas. People who do not know that they are living out of trauma are seeing and reacting to the world around them through traumatic filters.
We educate leaders and individuals on how to recognize trauma, in themselves and in those they serve; in order to understand the hidden dynamics that often undermine personal and organizational success.
Regardless of how many times they need to repeat it, it can sometimes take years for them to fully accept and believe that their trauma occurred.
“Empathy is listening to another person’s story of pain …
and believing them without changing their narrative or censoring how they feel or what they think.
