🌱 About The Seed PNW 🌱
The Seed PNW is a sanctuary for healing, awakening, and reconnection — where nature, community, and consciousness meet. Rooted in the lush lands of Mason County, Washington, we are cultivating a nature-based holistic health retreat and education center designed to empower individuals, support collective healing, and inspire a new paradigm of integrated well-being.
Our mission is to bridge spirituality and science through experiences that awaken the body, expand the mind, and nourish the soul. From somatic therapies and sound healing to intuitive coaching, creative arts, and sacred ceremonies, our offerings are grounded in both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. We believe healing happens in safe, loving, and intentional spaces — and that everyone deserves access to them.
The Seed PNW serves as a container for personal transformation, professional collaboration, and community regeneration. Our programs support a diverse population including veterans, first responders, survivors of trauma, facilitators, and conscious families.
Our long-term vision includes:
-
Offering trauma-informed retreats and psychedelic-assisted therapy in partnership with licensed professionals
-
Creating a digital hub for holistic practitioners to reach clients globally
-
Building sustainable infrastructure including tiny homes, gardens, wellness facilities, and creative spaces

Meet the Founder: Amanda Marie Keshner
Founder of The Seed PNW • Somatic Sounds Facilitator • Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner • Sacred Medicine Ambassador
Amanda Marie Keshner is an intuitive healer, artist, community builder, and visionary guide devoted to holistic healing, somatic wellness, and soul-rooted transformation. Originally from New York City and seasoned in West Virginia, Amanda now calls the Pacific Northwest home — where she has grounded her life’s mission into the earth itself through The Seed PNW, a growing nature-based healing sanctuary and conscious community center.
A graduate of West Virginia University, Amanda holds dual degrees in Forensic Science and Sociology, blending a deep understanding of human behavior with a devotion to transformation and truth. Her journey as a Sacred Medicine Ambassador, Washington State Certified Peer Support Specialist, Entheogen Preparation & Integration Practitioner, and Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner reflects her multidisciplinary approach to healing — integrating science, spirit, sound, and somatics.
Amanda is the visionary behind Somatic Sounds, a transformational sound healing modality that bridges intuitive movement, vibrational therapy, and frequency-based recalibration. As an artist and intuitive creative, she works through a lens of collaboration, inclusion, and energetic attunement — always with the mission to make others feel seen, loved, heard, and supported on their return to authentic expression.
In 2016, Amanda received a powerful third-eye vision: to travel across the United States, exploring the lands and cultures calling to her soul — and to one day discover sacred ground to grow a community from the soil up. Over the years, she built and lived in three custom-designed tiny houses on wheels, raising awareness about affordable, sustainable living while participating in national tiny house festivals and media interviews.
After journeying through 37 U.S. states and 9 countries, Amanda followed her inner compass to a quiet, Douglas Fir-covered hillside in Mason County, Washington. In 2019, standing barefoot atop a hill overlooking five raw acres blanketed in salal berry bushes and cedar trees, she knew instantly — this was the land from her vision.
Since then, Amanda has been lovingly developing the land with the help of volunteers, community members, and conscious collaborators. The Seed PNW is now growing into a safe, trauma-informed space for retreats, workshops, healing gatherings, and regenerative living — guided by a powerful blend of intention, intuition, and inspired action.
“My mission is to make others feel seen, loved, heard, and supported on their journey back to authentic expression.” — Amanda Marie
