Stay Inspired
A community garden experience
The Thrivology team created the original Seeds of Healing installation as an immersive experience at #HealthyTeen23 October 2-4, 2023, in Portland, Oregon.
Inspired by community art installations, this was a space where individuals could pause, reflect, and connect—both with themselves and with others.
Attendees considered how they cultivate the world they want to see while selecting seeds from stations throughout the installation for a planter they took home with them as a reminder of the importance of nurturing their own seeds.
