About Us

InnerSource Wellness Center

Our Center - InnerSource Wellness Center and Urban Regenerative Sustainability along with its beautiful Permaculture Land is nestled among the Pike Creek Valley. Behind the Homestead sits 300 acres of County Parkland, with IWC standing atop one of the highest points in the valley and possessing the comfort of a natural energy flow, which benefits all aspects of health, wellness and healing

Inside InnerSource Wellness Center

Our Center itself contains multiple bodywork rooms, two smaller breakout spaces, and a large studio space. The bodywork rooms are equipped for Massage, Energy Healing, Sound Healing and Shamanic Healing along with a private space for Coaching/Counseling. The smaller breakout spaces are perfect for Meditations and Movement classes and the larger studio is multifunctional and capable of housing a range of activities such as Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga classes; as well as the capacity for workshops, retreats, and special events.

The Land - Urban Regenerative Sustainability

The heartspace of the center is its Permaculture-designed food forest and urban farm. The Homestead, situated on over an acre of land contains beautiful native plants, supported by four ponds and various other water features as well as a small orchard, various wild edibles, nuts, berries, fruits, and medicinals. Existing within the homestead are a small Apiary and a Greenhouse High-tunnel to support our budding Community nursery and herbals. The land was designed and is maintained in concert with an appreciation and respect for the land, the ancestors who walked through this path, and all of its inhabitants. Complimenting the natural energetic flow which exists at IWC, our goal is to support the greater Community and individuals in their continued spiritual growth and expansion through this journey of ascension and recognition of the beautiful beings we all are.. We are all One….

Dr. Melvina M. Brown (Riue), Ed.D

Hello and welcome. I am Riue founder and owner of Inner Source Wellness Center and Urban Regenerative Sustainability, both a Healing Center and Urban Regenerative Permaculture Farm located in Pike Creek Valley Delaware.

I am a Servant and Guide supporting the healing journey of the collective during this time of Ascension and great elevation of consciousness on our planet. I offer the gifts and offerings of Angelic Shamanism, Sound Energy Healing and Alchemy, Vitalist Herbalism, Multi-dimensional channeling, Bodywork and Spiritual Counseling to support the journey of our own inner knowing. I am also a Beekeeper, Naturalist, Social Activist and Interdisciplinary and Environmental educator supporting higher education and community based and consultative advisement roles. I have over 25 years of prior experience in various senior level roles which allow for the balance of movement as we transition from a more mind centered energy to a balance of the heart and mind on this planet; embracing, all that has purpose in this great unfolding and cocreation.

I feel truly blessed to be here during this time. My journey has been one of much expansion, growth and re-remembrance; foremost from the guidance of Source; studying under many teachers, shamans, native American medicine healers and guides who have assisted me in my re- remembrance. My hope is to be able to do the same for others. My Earth Heritage is that of African American and Cherokee Indian Descent while my Star Seed Soul connection is that of Lemuria and the Pleiades. I work through the integration of all of my gifts and the inner knowledge of my journey to be a presence for others at this time.

This space I share here at InnerSource Wellness Center and Urban Regenerative Sustainability is a sacred place, a place of reverence, a place of healing, a place of joy for our collective healing; as we are all one. I am honored to be here at this magnificent time. We are here in this time of Ascension for us to truly realize the Love which resides within each of us as well as our true magnificence revered throughout the cosmos.

Earth to Celestial…Celestial to Earth….the Merkaba Flow of Infinite Love.

There is nothing new to know only that which is to be revealed though our own unfolding.

Love,

Riue

Kia - Shaman Puppy

Chief Caretaker of IWC. Healing Souls come in all forms, and the animals are here for us. They have tremendous healing abilities and are here to help us re-remember who we are. There is not one healing this little being has not participated in since the center opened. She automatically knows when there is work for her to do. She assists me in all of the Shamanic Circles and individual healing sessions, participates and holds space for the meditation and energy shares, drum circles and assists the other instructors as well. Her presence is requested by those coming to participate and her healing energy is felt; she carries the same vibration I do.

Kia came to me right after she was born. She was eight weeks old and could fit in the palm of my hand. She jumped from the floor onto my lap. I could see in her face at that time her old soul. She came to me unexpectedly during a very challenging time in my life and assisted my healing process. I recognized her intentional work with clients and her profound connection to the celestial realm and extension thereof here on earth. She simply knew to do things. When she is working, purple and green energy swirls around her and her eyes become translucent. Many who have attended journeys at the center have experienced and witnessed her healing abilities and spoke of them during the journies, including various medical professionals and doctors. They have mentioned that even with all of the intense experiences they may have been experiencing during the sessions, sometimes Kia would come by and either place her paw or little body next to them and they would feel her calming energy flowing through them, allowing them to be fully present for their experience. Sometimes they experienced a direct healing from her. She also appears in dreamtime time assisting me in discovery and communicates quite well. She has done this many times before. I realize she is an extension of me and I feel blessed that I recognized the gifts she carries and purpose as to why she is here from the beginning. This is the face of knowing and joy….and then there is always the toy:)
