About this Event

Root and Rise:
A Creative Healing Workshop Series
​October 12, October 26, November 2 and November 16, 2025

Root and Rise is a four-part arts and wellness experience designed to help you ground, reflect, and grow — creatively and personally. Blending storytelling, poetry, gentle movement, and guided journaling, this series offers a supportive space to reconnect with yourself and with community.

Each two-hour session combines artistic exploration and mindful practices rooted in the belief that creativity is a pathway to healing. Participants will engage in activities that honor both the individual voice and the collective spirit, fostering a balance of self-expression, introspection, and shared connection.

While each workshop stands on its own, the series as a whole moves through a thematic arc: rooting in the present, releasing what no longer serves, reclaiming your creative essence, and rising into new visions for your life. Whether you attend one session or all four, you’ll walk away with tools and inspiration to carry your journey forward.

​​

During the workshop series, whether attending one, multiple or all sessions, participants will receive

  • Personalized wellness packages featuring a guided journal, candle, curated mug, and tea blend
  • All creative materials for in-session activities
  • A nurturing and inclusive environment for participants of all levels — no prior artistic experience required

Root and Rise is for anyone seeking renewal, deeper self-awareness, and community through the integration of arts and wellness. Educators, artists, healers, and anyone navigating life transitions will find this series especially restorative.
