PRI Health Corps Update: This program is one of many defunded by AmeriCorps.
We create safe, welcoming spaces where communities can come together to nurture health, connection, and wellbeing—meeting people where they are with programs that support healing and growth.

Providing a safe and non-threatening place for women Veterans to engage activities and events integrating mind, body and soul while building community.
Finding Wellness in Gardens for those Experiencing Need
Developing, building and utilizing community wellness gardens to promote healthy eating and living.
Wellness is a journey—one that touches every part of life. It’s not just about physical health, but about nurturing the many dimensions that contribute to a vibrant, thriving life. These include social connection, creativity and intellectual growth, physical activity, mindfulness, nutrition, and more.
Our approach embraces the idea that wellness is holistic and interconnected. Each dimension enhances the others, and together, they build a foundation for long-term wellbeing. The true value of this journey lies not just in the outcomes, but in the experiences and life skills gained along the way.
As the saying goes, “It’s not the destination, but the journey that provides the greatest experience.” We believe the same is true for wellness—and we’re here to walk that path alongside our communities.
Total Life Fitness (TLF)
Total Life Fitness (TLF) is a holistic framework developed to promote wellbeing across eight interconnected dimensions of health. Grounded in community engagement and the integration of mind, body, and spirit, TLF supports the development of skills such as mindfulness, stress management, and social resilience.
The approach emphasizes sustainable lifestyle habits—including nutrition, exercise, meditation, and spiritual practice—that build resilience and improve overall quality of life. TLF is particularly effective for individuals in recovery, those affected by trauma, or facing challenges related to Social Determinants of Health.
The Pamlico Rose Institute (PRI) aligns its programs with the TLF model to address key areas of wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental—empowering individuals and communities to thrive.
The Rose Haven Center of Healing, Pamlico Rose Institute’s flagship facility, is a sanctuary for wellness, creativity, and community, located in a beautifully renovated 1892 home.
The Center Includes:
- A dedicated education and meeting space
- An adjacent pole barn transformed into an artisan makerspace and activity center
- A surrounding half-acre of healing and vegetable gardens
Together, these elements form a unique indoor/outdoor environment that functions like a walk-in wellness clinic—where nature, movement, creative expression, and healthy living come together to support personal growth and healing.
Rose Haven is home to our Healing in Wellness program for Veterans, with many of its activities and events also open to the broader community.
We’ve carried this model beyond Rose Haven, planting the seeds of healthy living across Beaufort County through additional wellness gardens—each designed to reflect the spirit of connection, resilience, and whole-person wellbeing.
