Our Story

For thirteen years The Open Hearth had been operating as an organic, plant-based and gluten-free healthy meal preparation /delivery service. We believe in our body temples’ capacity for self-healing given the right conditions. These are condition we have control over. The Open Hearth is in the process of a huge transformation of how we serve the world and the beloved community. Teaching Chi Gong, meditation, supporting our heart and brain coherence and co-creating consciously from the quantum are all part of that vision. Please stay tuned as we evolve!
