Rooted & Rising: A Day of Intention, Breath, and Connection

This past Saturday, we gathered with 21 incredible souls for our Rooted & Rising retreat. From the moment people arrived, the energy in the room felt alive—open hearts, quiet courage, and a shared desire to reconnect with self and spirit.

We opened the day by setting intentions, giving each person space to pause and get honest about what they’re ready to release and what they want to step into.

Our movement followed a functional yoga flow that met each body exactly where it was. There was no pressure to push or perform—just a slow, intentional invitation to move, breathe, and listen. It felt grounding in the best way.

The breathwork session that came next was truly the core of the experience. Through holotropic breathing, we moved into deep layers—some surfaced emotions, others found clarity or calm. The room held it all: tears, laughter, silence, softness. It was sacred.

Later, we circled back to the Rooted & Rising workbook—exploring the elemental tiers and grounding practices that guide this journey. We explored what it means to be rooted in truth and rise in our purpose through writing, reflection, and sharing.

By the end of the day, you could feel the shift. The room had a softness, a steadiness, and a quiet strength. Strangers became a community. Stories became mirrors. And healing didn’t feel so far away.

To each of you who showed up and said yes, you are the reason we do this. Thank you for letting us hold space with you.

We’ll see you again soon. 🌿
