"Your life does not get better by Chance, It gets better by change."

By Jim Rohn

Our Philosophy

Growing Seed Life Enrichment Center (GSLE) began in 2008. The name of the company is derived from a parable about seeds found in Luke 8:5-8 (NIV). The parable described a farmer who was scattering seeds. Some seeds fell among the rocks, others fell among thorns, while some fell on good soil. The seeds that fell on good soil grew, thrived, ang produced beyond expectations. At GSLE, we believe that our environments do not have to limit or hinder us. Each individual has the potential to blossom and flourish. Our goal is to nurture and facilitate your growth through a therapeutic relationship.
