About

We Are a Community Health Organization With a Spiritual Core

Our mission is to strengthen the health and resilience of communities — mentally, spiritually, and physically.

We expand access to care by:

  • Providing no-cost mental health support through Mind-Body Medicine groups

  • Developing a new integrative community health center in rural Washington

  • Training facilitators in trauma-responsive self-regulation tools

  • Forming strategic partnerships with medical homes and regional providers

We consciously operate outside the 501(c)(3) structure to protect spiritual autonomy — while delivering significant public benefit in the healthcare ecosystem.

Letter from the Medical Director

Dear Supporters,

We are living through a time of great change — and with it comes an invitation: to reshape how we care for one another.

At Flower of Life Society, we hold a simple truth at the center of everything we do:

When people are supported in body, mind, and spirit, entire communities heal.

Our programs bring that truth to life. For a decade, our Mind-Body Medicine groups have provided free trauma-responsive healing in Portland and surrounding communities. Participants learn skills that restore balance, reconnect relationships, and awaken inner resilience.

And we are just getting started.

We are now advancing a public health vision that expands this healing model into the primary care system — founding a Federally Qualified Health Center that will serve rural families and tribal partners in the Lower Elwha region of Washington.

This is spirit-led healthcare. It is community-rooted medicine. And it is urgently needed.

Thank you for helping us make this sacred work possible. Together, we are creating a regenerative culture — and offering a profound gift of hope and healing.

In service and solidarity,
Dr. Kat Lopez Sankey, MD
Medical Director, Flower of Life Society
