An update on SeekHealing's next chapter

October 5, 2026

We want to share an important update with you.

Jenesis Nicolaisen, SeekHealing’s founder, has stepped away from the organization. We know this news may bring up many feelings, questions, and reflections, and we want to make space for all of that.

We also want to begin with gratitude. Jenesis brought SeekHealing into being and spent years nurturing the practices, relationships, and community that have shaped who we are today. Like the mycelium beneath a forest, the life of SeekHealing lives in the connections between us—in the relationships, practices, and moments of genuine human connection that continue to grow beyond any one person.

That foundation is strong.

SeekHealing is continuing forward. Our programs, Trainings, and Connection Practices will continue, and our commitment to creating spaces where people can experience authentic connection, belonging, and community remains at the heart of our work.

As a community organization, we believe deeply in the wisdom, creativity, and work already happening among the people who make up this community. In the coming weeks, we want to create more space to celebrate and uplift that work.

Today, we especially want to honor our Connection Practice facilitators. Every day, you hold spaces where Seekers can slow down, be seen, connect more deeply, and experience the possibility of being fully themselves. Every moment of genuine connection matters. We could not do this work without you.

In the coming weeks, our staff will be reaching out to facilitators to ask how we can better support the Connection Practices you’re holding in our community.

And if you haven’t joined a practice in a while, we’d love to welcome you back. Whether online or in person, there is a place for you here. Please visit our calendar to find an upcoming practice.

We also want to keep growing the ways we support and celebrate the people in our community. If you’re working on a project, gathering, or offering that you’d like to be highlighted in our newsletters, please reach out to info@seekhealing.org with your name and information. We’d love to help give your work an extra boost.

If you’d like to stay more closely connected to what’s happening at SeekHealing and help sustain this work, we invite you to join our growing community of monthly donors, or make a one-time contribution.

There is much ahead of us.

We are grateful for the people who have carried this work, the people who are carrying it now, and the people who will help shape where it goes next. We believe in the power of community to create something larger than any one of us—and we’re excited to keep growing, connecting, and moving forward together.

If you have questions, thoughts, or simply want to connect, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

With hope, and an open heart for what we’re creating together,

Melisa Gonzalez
Interim Executive Director
SeekHealing
