Hesed is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to trauma recovery and community restoration, has launched ENGAGE, a series of sensory-based interactive workshops in safe spaces where participants can feel grounded, supported, and connected. Adults are invited to register for programs in areas of creative arts, music, pottery, trauma-sensitive yoga, horticulture, Tai Chi, and more. The calendar of classes is available on their website.

Membership for the ENGAGE Program is just $15 per month and includes access to unlimited in-person workshops and 24/7 entry to a private online trauma-healing community. All workshops are held at the Hesed Place Journey Center unless otherwise noted. Partial funding for the ENGAGE Community Program has been provided by a grant from the Craven Community Foundation, an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation.

The ENGAGE Community Program is not therapy but has proven to be very therapeutic. Workshop leaders allow healing to unfold naturally through connection, rhythm, and presence. ENGAGE is a community-based program that complements other recovery supports. Small in-person workshops nurture the whole person, in body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Participants often express feelings of increased calm, emotional stability, and a renewed sense of hope through shared and meaningful experiences.
