Collaborative,
land-based,
wellness hub
We pilot community-led programs that strengthen health, access, and economic opportunity through food, land, and holistic wellness — while building toward long-term, place-based healing ecosystems that are grounded in sustainability, care, and shared stewardship.
What We Do — The Pillars
-
Land & Food Systems
School gardens, growing spaces, and community-based agriculture that reconnect people to food, land, and living systems.
-
Healing & Wellness
Restorative and healing-centered practices that support whole-person well-being, community care, and culturally grounded wellness.
-
Workforce Pathways
Hands-on learning, supported training, and pathways into land and wellness-based careers for all ages and stages.
Why This Work Matters
enBloom’s work is grounded in a simple truth: When people have access to land, healing, and pathways to dignified work, communities are better positioned to thrive. When these elements align, communities are better positioned not only to survive, but to thrive.
Communities across the country are navigating growing disconnection — from land, from spaces that support healing and well-being, and from opportunities to build stable and fulfilling lives rooted in care and sustainability. Too often, these systems exist in isolation: food systems without healing, wellness without access, and work that feels disconnected from purpose and community.
Values & Who We Center
enBloom centers creating opportunities for individuals and communities most impacted by historical and structural disinvestment, recognizing that those closest to systemic challenges often hold the deepest insight into sustainable solutions. By prioritizing equity, access, and collective care, we work toward pathways that support healing, belonging, and economic opportunity.
Our spaces are open and welcoming to all who align with these commitments.
We honor lived experience as wisdom, shared leadership as strength, and relationships grounded in trust, accountability, and mutual respect. How we build is inseparable from what we build.
Building Toward Long-Term, Place-Based Healing
Our current work focuses on learning.
Driving pilots allow enBloom to test models, build operational experience, and strengthen partnerships. These pilots are not the end goal — they are the foundation.
enBloom is building toward permanent infrastructure where land access, wellness, and workforce pathways can live together at scale.

Why Land, Healing, and Workforce Belong Together
For generations, communities most impacted by disinvestment have been separated from land, healthy food, and access to spaces that support rest and restoration. At the same time, economic pathways into land- and wellness-based work have often been limited, extractive, or inaccessible.
enBloom's approach recognizes that access to land, opportunities for healing, and pathways to dignified work are deeply interconnected — and that lasting community well-being requires addressing all three together.
A Place-Based Vision: Crownsville
Crownsville Memorial Park, on the grounds of the former Hospital for the Negro Insane of Maryland, represents a powerful long-term vision for enBloom’s work and is foundational to how the organization began. In 2022, enBloom emerged when a small group of individuals independently drawn to Crownsville were brought together through shared introductions, recognizing the potential to explore how this land — shaped by history, harm, and resilience — could become a site for healing, restoration, and new possibility.
With its layered history and deep community significance, Crownsville reflects the type of place-based healing hub enBloom seeks to help imagine and support: one that explores the relationship between land, history, and healing while creating pathways for care, belonging, and economic opportunity.
While this vision will require partnerships, time, and resources to realize, Crownsville is one possible expression of a broader commitment. enBloom’s role has been to help shape the vision, convene relationships, and advance early exploration of what is possible. We remain open to Crownsville and to additional sites that align with these values and this model
