The Healing Mountain
This group began on March 1, 2022, born out of a desire to rebuild community in Silicon Valley as we were coming out of the pandemic. We originally started as a Meetup group called South Bay Natural Connection. Starting February 2025 after about 250 community events, we transitioned into the current group called The Healing Mountain. We are committed to building local community, supporting local organizations and businesses, facilitating cross-cultural and interfaith understanding, and infusing mindfulness and spirituality into our work and everyday lives.
