Who We Are
Founded in 2024 by Kathy and Gary Stommel, Igniting Purpose is a Therapeutic Group Intensive Center close to Nashville, Tennessee. After years of experience in working with people one on one and guiding group intensives, Kathy is now bringing her expertise to her own originally designed programs. She has created a place for transformation—where people can overcome trauma, find freedom from fear, and gain the resources to live with purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
