Community Dinner Featuring Dr. Sabine Thomas

Our June 2, 2026 Community Dinner featured a speed talk from Dr. Sabine Thomas. Sabine is co-owner of JSOL STUDIOS LLC, a family-wellness centered and nature-embodied organization dedicated to nurturing thriving ecosystems within families and organizations. Sabine partners with King County Child Care Health Consultation Strategy to lead Anchoring Our ROOTS, a county-wide program rooted in restorative and nature-embodied practices, designed to support the health and wellness of BIPOC caregivers. Her work is deeply informed by the principles of infant and early childhood mental health. Her most restorative moments are spent in and around nature.
