Profile

Five Stones Institute is the 501(c)3 non-profit educational arm of the Five Stones Healing Arts & Wellness Center. The Institute provides training and education in the balanced care of mind, body and spirit that transforms the health of individuals and of their communities. We focus on using the tool of mindfulness to manage stress and live a more balanced life.

Our education offerings are based on founder Dr. Martha Calihan's belief that, in order to achieve health and wellness and the capability for self-healing, each individual should seek to attain balance in five key areas, the Five Stones: Healthful Eating, Balanced Movement, Integrative Medicine, Mindful Stress Management, and Interconnected Living

These Five Key Stone areas are addressed through a myriad of educational offerings and other supports, including nutrition education and support, slow flow yoga and weekly group meditation sessions.

Key to seeking this transformation is the Institute community partnerships to deliver this information and support to groups that can most benefit from them, including clients of Loudoun Hunger Relief.
