Deeply Rooted is a new offering devoted to inviting relief, balance and abundance into our lives during these uncertain times. We've brought together some amazing folks who we feel are wise stewards of Earth, spirit, community and bodily wisdom who will share a variety of grounding practices and coping tools to lend support during this unprecedented time where it can be easy to feel overwhelmed.
Kailea Frederick invites us to open space in our busy everyday lives to harmonize our body and breath with the deep rhythms of Earth. Kailea offers a poetry reading woven with simple movements to reawaken our inseparable connection to all of Creation. This offering honors the hard-working mothers and caregivers who provide care so generously, and who are so deserving of moments to cultivate wellness.
Follow our Deeply Rooted releases to find solace and awaken inspiration through guided meditations, poetry and prose readings, questions for deep inquiry, story-telling, musical performances and more. May these offerings nourish your inner sanctuary and foster resilience, empowerment and liberation.

RECOMMENDATION
Read Kailea Frederick and Kate Weiner’s book Compassion In Crisis: Learning to Live in an Age of Disaster. Compassion in Crisis is a study in self-sovereignty. In the midst of disaster, many communities of care have emerged independent of government intervention to take care of their own, rebuild homes, and nourish their extended network of kin. As we work together to navigate disaster and confront change, we hope that this offering will hold space for your grief, inspire you to cultivate resilience, and connect you to adaptation strategies.
