About us
Seed to Sól is a creative wellness program that helps people reconnect with themselves through mindfulness, creativity, and community. We believe growth begins with small seeds — moments of awareness, curiosity, and self-expression that help us better understand who we are and what we’re capable of.
Our mission is to create safe, nurturing spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow — mentally, emotionally, and creatively. Through mindfulness and the arts, we plant seeds that help each soul bloom.
Why Seed To Sól?
In today’s world, people of all ages are navigating social, emotional, and mental challenges that shape how they see themselves, relate to others, and move through everyday life. We spend much of our time inside structured spaces—schools, workplaces, homes, care settings, and community organizations—that influence not only what we do, but how we feel about who we are.
Seed to Sòl exists because well-being is more than productivity, achievement, or simply getting through the day. It is also about knowing yourself, accepting yourself, and learning how to show up in the world with authenticity, confidence, and care.
So often, people are taught how to meet expectations before they are given space to understand their own needs, voice, identity, creativity, and purpose. They may learn how to fit in, perform, or keep moving—but not always how to pause, listen inward, honor their experiences, or feel safe being fully themselves. Seed to Sòl creates opportunities to return to that inner knowing.
We believe self-awareness is the beginning of meaningful growth. When people can recognize who they are, accept where they are, and intentionally apply what they learn, they are better able to navigate relationships, challenges, opportunities, and the many demands of life. Our work is rooted in a simple but powerful process: know yourself, accept yourself, and move through the world as yourself.
Through creative arts, mindfulness-informed practices, reflection, mentorship, and community connection, Seed to Sòl creates spaces where people can express what they are feeling, explore their stories, reconnect with their bodies and voices, and build tools for everyday well-being. Movement, music, writing, visual art, storytelling, performance, and conversation offer pathways into parts of ourselves that traditional settings do not always make room for.
The arts are not an extra. They are a language for expression, imagination, confidence, and connection. They invite us to create rather than copy; to discover our own voice rather than simply follow someone else’s version of who we should be. In a world that can pressure people to conform, compare, and perform, Seed to Sòl makes space for individuality, originality, and authentic self-expression.
Our programs are designed to meet people where they are—whether they are young people developing their voice, educators seeking restoration and connection, artists sharing their gifts, or communities looking for more meaningful ways to gather. We recognize that wellness is not one-size-fits-all, and that growth does not happen only in formal or clinical spaces. It can happen in a dance class, through a journal prompt, around a table making art, in a shared song, during an honest conversation, or in a room where someone finally feels seen.
Seed to Sòl is rooted in a genuine belief that people deserve to thrive in their own lane. We do not exist to create copies of one another. We exist to help people reconnect with what makes them whole, distinct, capable, and worthy of being expressed.
By bridging creative practice, mindfulness, emotional well-being, and community care, Seed to Sòl creates experiences that help people nourish their creativity, honor their stories, strengthen their connection to themselves and others, and grow into fuller versions of who they already are.
Ceo & Founder of Seed To Sól
About the Founder
Zanyah Dorfeuille is a Boston-born multidisciplinary artist, educator, choreographer, and the founder of Seed to Sòl—a creative wellness platform rooted in mindfulness, movement, self-expression, and community care. A graduate of Howard University’s Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts, where she earned her BFA in Dance, Zanyah has spent years using the arts as a pathway for connection, cultural expression, confidence, and healing.
Dance has been a part of Zanyah’s life since she was two years old. As a performer and creative, movement was not only her craft—it was one of the primary ways she understood herself and moved through the world. When an unexpected, life-changing injury required her to step away from performing, she was called into a season of stillness, adjustment, and self-discovery. What initially felt like a pause became an opportunity to listen more deeply to herself, rethink what wellness could look like, and transform a difficult chapter into something purposeful.
From that experience, Seed to Sòl began to blossom.
Zanyah founded Seed to Sòl from a genuine belief that people deserve spaces to know themselves, accept themselves, and feel empowered to show up authentically in the world. Her work brings together the creative practices that have shaped her life—dance, movement, theatre, storytelling, and artistic expression—with mindfulness-informed reflection, social-emotional learning, mentorship, and intentional community-building.
Throughout her career, Zanyah has worked as an artist, performer, choreographer, educator, and administrative professional in schools, arts organizations, nonprofit spaces, and community settings across Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. She has collaborated with organizations including Sole Defined, OrigiNations Cultural Arts Center, Princess Mhoon Dance Institute, and Cooking With Gabby, bringing culturally grounded and youth-centered creative programming to diverse communities. Public profiles and program listings also describe her work as a dance educator and teaching artist working across the East and West Coasts.
Through Seed to Sòl, Zanyah develops creative, mindfulness-centered experiences for young people, educators, artists, and communities. Her offerings include social-emotional learning residencies, creative performance programming, wellness-centered workshops and events, staff wellness and development experiences, and arts-based curriculum.
At the heart of her work is the belief that creativity is not an extra—it is a powerful tool for self-awareness, expression, and transformation. Zanyah is committed to creating spaces where people can reconnect with their voice, honor their stories, build meaningful relationships, and thrive in their own lane.
