Legacy of the Rose is a nonprofit center for healing, connection, and personal growth. We blend Eastern and Western philosophies, creating a space where science, spirituality, and consciousness studies come together. Through workshops, community gatherings, retreats, healing experiences, and outreach, we invite people to explore new ways of understanding themselves, one another, and the world around them. Our mission is to make healing and meaningful connection more accessible while building a community rooted in curiosity, compassion, and belonging.
Meet our Founder
Ashley Hallman is the founder of Legacy of the Rose, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and an ordained spiritual minister with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. Throughout her career, she has supported individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity development, and major life transitions. Her work is grounded in the understanding that meaningful healing involves the whole person, including the mind, body, relationships, environment, and sense of meaning.
In 2025, Ashley founded Legacy of the Rose to create a more accessible and inclusive space for healing, education, connection, and personal exploration. The center brings together evidence-informed mental health concepts, contemplative practices, consciousness studies, and holistic approaches to well-being. Through workshops, community gatherings, retreats, outreach programs, guided meditation, intuitive practices, Reiki, and other integrative experiences, Ashley encourages people to remain curious about the many ways healing and personal growth can occur.
Ashley is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology with a specialization in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Integrative Health at Saybrook University. Her academic work reflects her interest in the relationship between psychology, spirituality, consciousness, and human transformation. She is particularly passionate about bridging Eastern and Western perspectives and exploring how clinical knowledge, emerging research, and long-standing contemplative traditions can inform a more complete understanding of human well-being.
Through Legacy of the Rose, Ashley has created a space where science and consciousness studies can come together without requiring people to choose between critical thinking and personal meaning. Her approach is thoughtful, grounded, and open-minded, welcoming individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and belief systems.
At the heart of Ashley’s work is a commitment to helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their connection with others, and access meaningful opportunities for healing and growth. Through both her professional practice and community-based work, she continues to build spaces where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to explore what well-being means for them
