Who We Are
Grounded in Love is a collective of healers and practitioners working in healing justice and somatic abolitionism, bringing together independent leaders committed to restoring community care as a shared practice. The collective integrates systems change, housing justice, and embodied healing to support communities, organizations, and individuals through approaches that center connection, wellbeing, and collective transformation.
The collective includes Saba Mwine-Chang, a nationally recognized housing justice leader with over twenty years of experience advancing equitable and culturally informed solutions to homelessness. As Deputy Chief Community Officer at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, she leads collaborative partnerships and healing-centered strategies that bridge research, policy, and community practice, grounding systems change in equity and collective care.
Connor T. Johnson is a community wellness practitioner and systems change consultant with more than fifteen years of experience in supportive housing and community development. His work focuses on “wellness in community,” integrating yoga, meditation, and somatic practices with policy and organizational consulting to foster healing, connection, and sustainable community wellbeing.

Disconnection and burnout are not personal failures — they are collective experiences shaped by how we live and work today.
Grounded in Love exists to restore community care as a shared practice, rooted in the belief that healing happens through relationships rather than isolation. The movement centers embodiment as a pathway to stronger leadership and deeper participation, recognizing that community wellbeing is essential to building sustainable organizations.
Grounded in Love views care not as an add-on, but as foundational infrastructure for thriving communities.
