Growth lives in discovery. We embrace curiosity, seek wisdom, and open our hearts to new possibilities. Through learning, we transform challenges into stepping stones toward our brightest future.

Thrive

This is where hope blooms into action. We celebrate the fullness of life, embrace our potential, and flourish in community. Together, we don't just survive—we thrive with purpose and joy.

Our Leadership

Rodnina Hallgren — Founder & Visionary Director

Rodnina Hallgren is the driving force behind Lucia Mother Earth (DBA Lucia Hope), bringing together decades of experience in nonprofit leadership, social enterprise, and creative entrepreneurship to build a sanctuary where healing and empowerment take root.

A strategist with a heart for service, Rodnina blends business acumen with deep compassion, designing programs that address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Her leadership is marked by a rare ability to unite diverse partners, inspire donors, and translate bold visions into tangible, life‑changing spaces.

Guided by her belief that land can become legacy, she has championed initiatives that transform gifted properties into thriving hubs for safe housing, trauma‑informed care, education, sustainable farming, and creative expression. Her work is rooted in the conviction that survivors of domestic violence deserve more than shelter, they deserve the tools, skills, and community to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

Rodnina’s approach is holistic and forward‑thinking, weaving together sacred design, environmental stewardship, and economic empowerment. Under her leadership, Lucia Hope is not just a place of refuge, but a living, breathing model of what’s possible when compassion meets strategy, and vision meets action.

 

 

"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace."
