Waldorf’s ‘House of Restoration’

Kathy Grinnell recently purchased the former Waldorf school building and moved in last summer with her three children. She has named the building “House of Restoration,” and says that the longer she lives there, the more ideas and plans her head and heart conceive about what she can accomplish for the community.

 

She says all her ideas and visions revolve around the central concept of health. For the community’s children, she has created spaces for physical activity and creativity. She describes also having arrived at some ideas to help adults stay healthy physically and emotionally while also connecting with their community.

 

Before moving to Waldorf, Grinnell and her family lived in central Minnesota. “When I was in St. Cloud, God said, ‘They forgot about the children.’ I asked what he meant since there are a lot of children in the world. He revealed to me that this next generation is going to help people wake up and they’re going to take off in such a way that has never been seen before.”

Grinnell mentions having observed that the next generation won’t conform to religion like others in the past have.

 

“Jesus said that those who believe, I and the Father will come and dwell with them,” she explains. “The Holy Spirit lives in us, so why do we as Christians feel like it’s just us?”

 

And it’s clear Grinnell gives power to children in the former Waldorf school building.

In one area designed for “hanging out,” Grinnell has placed a long table with canvas for painting on. Bins of brushes, paints, and other supplies line the walls.

 

“They can make their artwork and leave it or hang it on the walls or take it home,” Grinnell said. “Whatever they want to do.”

 

She mentioned a future plan to add an art room where kids can make pottery and fire their projects in a kiln.

 

“So if anyone wants to donate a pottery wheel or a kiln, I’d be so grateful,” Grinnell said, adding that she would also like to have another station where kids can design water immersion paintings.

 

Grinnell’s 19-year-old daughter Faith manages and runs a tea and shake café called Natural Blessings Herbalife. Not far inside the entry to the building, Grinnell has placed a jug filled with what she calls “wholly water.” Inside is ozone water–H30 rather than H20–which she says helps purify the body.

 

“Cancer cannot attach itself to an oxygenated cell,” Grinnell said. “So, a lot of the things we’ve put into our bodies, dehydrate the cells. Our cells, our bodies, are dehydrated most of the time and this is the cure for that.”

 

In the cafe, either Grinnell or Faith make shakes and blend in flavored powder in a wide array of flavors: banana caramel, orange creamsicle, strawberry cheesecake, and cotton candy, to name only a few. The powder adds not only flavor, but protein and essential nutrients.

 

Aside from being in charge of the café, Faith continues to create insulated drink containers, jugs, and T-shirts with inspirational quotes from scripture. Grinnell’s son Jake is the acting handyman and the virtual gamer who oversees a gaming room in the space Grinnell calls the Kids’ Lounge.

 

“Jake is really great with kids. He helps with activities and also fills in for the shop and cafe area whenever needed,” Grinnell said about him. “Jacqueline, my 9-year-old, is really great at making Herbalife Teas and quite the host. She is very artistic, so she  enjoys helping with the arts and crafts and entertaining younger children.”

 

Grinnell also has a wide area for kids to come and play while they wait for their parents to pick them up, for example when their workday lasts longer than the school day. Originally, those hours ran from seven in the morning until four in the afternoon, but she has lately extended them until six in the evening. School buses even stop there and drop off students.

 

Grinnell uses one office space in two ways. One is that she still does some work in St. Cloud area real estate. The other is conducting what she calls “Bio scans.” While simply sitting in a chair, a client can be connected to a specially outfitted computer which assesses certain readings.

 

Results are available in about ten minutes, then the computer database recommends  natural remedies, even providing suggestions as to which ones are best suited to the individual’s needs.

 

“As a therapy,” Grinnell said, “vibrational medicine is the application of different types of energy for healing, including traditional methods like x-ray and radiation therapy for cancer, electrical nerve stimulation for treating pain, and electromagnetic field stimulators for accelerating the healing of fractured bones. Full spectrum light is even used for treating seasonal depression.”

 

She believes the scan has the ability to interface with the physical body and the higher energy control systems. The system is aware of everything going on: It knows about organisms living in the body, functional conditions, and the health level of every cell.

 

“We only experience our world through energy and the transmission of vibration according to Dr. [Richard] Gerber,” Grinnell said, speaking of the author of the book “A Practical Guide to Vibrational Medicine.” Among Gerber’s theories is that humans are more than flesh and blood, fats and nucleic acid; he called his model the Einsteinian Model of Healing. Grinnell says her computer is set to pick up disturbances in the body’s systems not only after they’ve manifested on the physical level, but even before that, while they’re only “disturbances.”

 

She mentions that sight, hearing and the sense of smell all hone in on vibrations in energy. “It is pretty amazing how doctors were not able to deny the Holy Spirit that dwells within humans is an energetic force that heals the body,” Grinnell commented, then stressed how vital she believes it is for humans to avoid genetically modified plants and foods.

 

“What I want to do is help people get that extra little boost from God, knowing that God is their strength,” Grinnell said. “That frequency sent to their brain gives them freedom from addictions they struggle with.”

 

Since she accepts donations as payments for the Bioscan testing, she encourages people to come back if they feel they need it.

 

As she has made plans to develop the House of Restoration, Grinnell feels she has been guided by apparent “coincidences.” She discovered two black walnut trees in her front yard. Along with cloves and wormwood, black walnuts are the main ingredients for parasite cleanses, which Grinnell believes are vital.

 

As she and her family moved in at Waldorf, they found Mullein plants growing in the sand near the volleyball court and swing set. In natural healing, Mullein is believed to detoxify the lungs, either for people who were once smokers or for those who have had a lung infection, including bronchitis, pneumonia or COVID.

 

To help a neighbor experiencing painful leg cramps, Grinnell learned about magnesium spray. In natural healing, magnesium helps with sore muscles, sometimes instantly relieving pain. “Magnesium and lavender have a calming effect,” she observes.

 

In the House of Restoration, Grinnell plans to use the cafeteria kitchen to make and package her natural remedies.

 

Grinnell believes love and kindness spread naturally. She describes an experience of Jake’s. As an online gamer, Jake formed a personal friendship with a young person in Germany. Bullied at school and feeling uncared about, this person called Jake his “only friend.” At one point, Grinnell grounded Jake from the internet out of fear he was becoming overly dependent on gaming. She ignored his pleas to let him go online until he explained about the friend in Germany, and how he feared the friend would feel abandoned, and might even consider suicide.

 

“So many people feel unchosen and unloved,” Grinnell said. “They don’t know what unconditional love is because they’ve been taught conditional love their whole lives. But when you realize that God is in you, and loves you, you change. That’s called the sanctification process.”
