GROUNDING LIFE
CAMPAIGNS 2026
CAMPAIGN cabf02 OPEN
Through the California Healthy Grounds Initiative, Grounding Life is committed to working with communities, scientists, educators, and public agencies to promote healthier public spaces for everyone.
This campaign is not about creating fear. It is about encouraging education, scientific research, transparency, and thoughtful public policies that reduce unnecessary chemical exposure where effective alternatives are available.
After moving to California, I became increasingly concerned about the widespread use of herbicides, pesticides and other landscaping chemicals in many public spaces. As a Cerified Immunologist and physiologist from Harvard Medical School Medical Qigong Master and Coach from Functional Aging Institute, educator, barefooter and founder of Grounding Life, my work is centered on helping people reconnect with nature through grounding, Qigong, Tai Chi, meditation, and outdoor wellness practices.
One day, while running barefoot through a public park, I witnessed workers applying pesticides. They were wearing full-body protective suits and respirators to protect themselves while handling these chemicals.
I was shocked that the application was taking place in a park where children were playing in nearby water sprinklers and where many people, including families, athletes, and barefoot visitors like myself, were enjoying the park. The workers continued spraying even as people remained nearby. That moment deeply concerned me and made me question whether our public spaces could be managed in safer ways.

During the years I lived in California, I experienced a noticeable decline in my own health. I seemed to be sick much more often than I had been before. While I cannot determine the exact cause of those health changes, they led me to pay closer attention to the environments where we live, exercise, and heal.
When I later toured in Mexico and spend longer time, something unexpected happened. Despite the common perception that the streets in Mexico are "dirty," I frequently walked barefoot outdoors, continued my grounding practice, and spent as much time as possible connected with the earth.
To my surprise, my own health improved dramatically. I caught up on my recovery, felt stronger, and experienced a level of wellness that I had not felt in a long time. This was my personal experience, and it reinforced my belief in the importance of clean outdoor environments for those who choose nature-based wellness practices.

Today, more people than ever are embracing barefoot walking, outdoor yoga, Qigong, Tai Chi, meditation, and other forms of nature-based wellness. Many people report that spending time in natural environments helps them reduce stress, reconnect with nature, and improve their overall sense of well-being. As this movement continues to grow, I believe our parks, schools, beaches, and public spaces should be maintained in ways that prioritize both environmental stewardship and public health.
This campaign is not about creating fear. It is about encouraging education, scientific research, transparency, and thoughtful public policies that reduce unnecessary chemical exposure where effective alternatives are available.
