Eastern North Carolina's Finest
Our Story
In 2020, after years of personal exploration and creative work, we built our tiny house in rural eastern North Carolina. This journey—rooted in simplicity and a return to nature—helped us reconnect with what matters most: cultivating a life of gratitude, creativity, and meaningful relationships.
Our experiences, from leading heart-centered spiritual practices to creating art and music, have shaped WeaveGrateful as a platform to share the lessons and inspiration we’ve gathered along the way. This brand is not just a reflection of who we are but an invitation for others to explore what it means to live fully, guided by the heart.
What We Stand For
WeaveGrateful is a celebration of:
- Gratitude in Action: Finding beauty in the small moments and weaving it into the fabric of everyday life.
- Heart-Centered Living: Anchoring every decision, connection, and creation in the love and wisdom of the heart.
- Creative Expression: Exploring the transformative power of creativity, whether through music, pottery, writing, or movement.
- Connection to Nature: Living in harmony with the land, growing what sustains us, and honoring the rhythms of the earth.
We believe in building a community that values depth over distraction, authenticity over appearances, and collective growth over competition.

Meet Graham & Kelsey
Kelsey Anderson
Kelsey’s story begins amid the towering pines and meandering creeks of Western North Carolina, where she learned early that nature isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a teacher. With a degree in environmental studies and a decade of experience designing regenerative gardens and community spaces, she brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to everything she touches. Whether she’s coaxing heirloom seedlings to life in our outdoor kitchen garden or sourcing local clay for our pottery circles, Kelsey moves with intention and a deep devotion to sustainability. Her gentle laughter and warm curiosity invite you into a space of shared care—where every seed planted and every meal shared becomes an act of gratitude. Behind the scenes of WeaveGrateful, she’s the one sketching the next land-lab workshop, balancing budgets for sliding-scale retreats, and making sure that every detail—down to the compost bin—is woven with respect for the earth and for each other.
Graham Whitley
Graham’s path has always wound between melody and mystery. As a teenage guitarist in Asheville’s jam-night scene, he discovered that music could speak what words alone cannot. That passion led him into Reiki Tummo, where breath and intention revealed new chambers of heart-centered living. Over nearly twenty years as a practitioner, instructor, and storyteller, he’s crafted workshops that blend live looping soundscapes with guided energy practices—each session a chance to reconnect with our inner radiance. By day, he consults with nonprofits like the World Bridge Foundation, designing membership tiers, crowdfunding campaigns, and immersive cultural exchanges. By night, you’ll find him landing in over the RC-505mkII, layering ancestral rhythms with ambient electronics, or scribbling lyrics that honor life.
A Shared Journey
Together, Kelsey and Graham have built more than a creative partnership—they’ve woven a life steeped in presence, purpose, and playful exploration. They believe that true connection happens when we slow down enough to notice the patterns: the spiral of a fern unfurling at dawn, the resonance of a single chord held in silence, the simple act of breaking bread beneath the sky. At WeaveGrateful gatherings, you’ll be welcomed not only into their home on the land but into a living tapestry of music, movement, and moments that invite you to open your chest space and lean into gratitude. In every offering—retreat, workshop, or shared meal—their guiding question is the same: “How can we remember what it feels like to live fully, lightly, and in harmony with one another?”
