From the Founders


In the wake of the tumultuous past few years, Lasting Embers was born from a heartfelt yearning for deeper connections. Recognizing the collective longing for a space where individuals could not only find solace but also thrive, we embarked on creating a community centered around wellness and learning.

Our journey reflects a shared desire to foster an environment where personal growth, health, and genuine connections flourish. We envisioned a haven that not only addresses the complexities of our times but also champions the pursuit of well-being, offering resources and support to guide each member towards a more fulfilling, aligned, and connected life.

This community is our response to the silent call for a deeper sense of belonging and understanding - an oasis of wellness in a world craving meaningful engagement and authentic learning experiences.

Lasting Embers is a support network for creative professionals and business owners.
