Created by Celestia Tracy, Explore weaves together reflective writing, emotional awareness,
gentle processing, faith, and creative expression at a pace that honors each person. Together,
the group explores themes such as personal worth, family dynamics, trauma, shame, resilience,
and hope — always with compassion and care.
Participants are invited to reconnect with their voice, identity, and sense of belonging in the
presence of God’s steady, healing love. Explore is designed to gently name experiences that
may have once felt overwhelming or caused harm, while also nurturing strength, grounding, and
self-compassion. It is built on the belief that while trauma often happens in relationships, healing
also happens in a safe, trusted community.
Led by Brandy Knutson --Brandy is a trauma-informed counseling intern who walks alongside others with warmth, empathy,
and a deeply relational approach to healing. Grounded in the belief that God meets us tenderly in
our stories, she creates safe spaces for clients to explore their emotions, rebuild trust with
themselves and God, and rediscover their sense of worth and hope.
