Eric and Mary, like all of us, are on our own healing journey and hope to journey in community with others with the Grove. In 2022, Mary developed a chronic illness that changed every part of her and her family’s life, causing her to leave her job of small business tax and accounting. Together, Eric and Mary confronted mortality and continue to explore what healing and wholeness means personally and communally. Eric has also been on a personal healing journey with his dad’s sudden death in 2021, entering a role of caregiver, and mental health challenges along the way. Throughout our journey, we have met incredible healers in both likely and unlikely places and are committed to helping others find healing and step into their own role as healer in their community. We all have a part to play. When we’re not soaking up time with our glorious preschooler and goofball dog, Eric enjoys gardening and fishing and Mary enjoys learning ballet, knitting and volunteering for hospice.
