Our Story
Waking Rain was created in response to a gap we saw in our communities: the need for meaningful experiences that are accessible to individuals, families, and groups with diverse needs. We believe everyone processes the world in their own unique way, and that a softer environment can offer the support needed to learn, connect, and express oneself more fully. Our name represents a space where the mind can awaken and the body can begin to heal from the weight of everyday life. This is just the beginning.

Amy Stein
Founder, Creative Director
From an early age, I was deeply sensitive to my environment, attuned to the emotions of others, and drawn to the mysteries in the world that cannot always be explained. As an ideas-driven person, my curiosity and imagination led me to a career in design, where I have both contributed to and led creative teams. Along the way, I have shared my experiences through teaching and by developing creative enrichment programs for adults and children. When health challenges led me beyond conventional medicine, I discovered holistic healing, energy work, and sound practices that transformed my understanding of well-being. Becoming a mother deepened this journey, as I witnessed my daughter's unique sensitivities and the need for more compassionate support in our communities. Inspired by these life experiences, I created Waking Rain—a space where all people and all ages can grow and heal together.
