Rooted Programs & Services

Our Approach to Healing

At The Rooted Wellness Institute™, our approach to healing is grounded in community care, mental health education, and culturally responsive engagement. We design programs that meet people where they are—honoring diverse lived experiences and centering wellness, connection, and restoration.

In this initial phase of our work, we are prioritizing the creation of healing-centered spaces for Black women, responding to a critical and ongoing need for culturally affirming wellness support. This focus reflects our commitment to addressing mental health disparities while laying the foundation for future programs that will serve children, families, and broader community partners.

Rooted in Collective Care: Our Programs & Services

  • Interactive workshops exploring a range of wellness topics, including emotional health, boundaries, stress management, and culturally affirming mental health practices, are designed to support reflection, connection, and everyday care.

  • Speaking engagements and panel facilitation centered on healing, mental health, identity, and culturally grounded wellness—tailored for schools, organizations, and community spaces.

  • A themed series of healing-centered spaces that invite participants to rest, reflect, and reconnect—while actively cultivating wellness, joy, and collective restoration through affirming, growth-oriented practices.

  • Pop-up gatherings and restorative community events are designed to bring people together in joy, reflection, and connection. These experiences may include guided journaling nights, storytelling circles, wellness panels, or creative healing spaces—all rooted in our commitment to collective care and culturally affirming practices.

    Whether reflective or celebratory, each gathering is an invitation to pause, connect, and be well together.

    The Restoration Collective

    Offers a series of themed, healing-centered experiences that invite participants to pause, reconnect with themselves, and engage in collective care. Each session is intentionally designed to nurture emotional wellness, joy, and restoration, especially for those navigating high-responsibility or caregiving roles.

    These spaces are trauma-informed, culturally affirming, and rooted in practices such as guided reflection, storytelling, journaling, and facilitated dialogue. Whether hosted virtually or in person, each gathering offers space to exhale, reconnect, and replenish in community.

    Themes May Include:

    Grief and healing, identity and self-worth, relationships and boundaries, workplace wellness, seasonal restoration, creative expression, and care beyond survival.

    Who It’s For:

    Affinity groups, women’s wellness cohorts, nonprofit teams, school staff, or community spaces seeking intentional rest and reflection.

    The Gather Collective

    Hosts pop-up events that unite people through creativity, dialogue, and shared wellness experiences. These gatherings may include Wellness & Art Nights, Community Conversations on Mental Health, guided journaling circles, or seasonal activations—each designed to foster connection, cultural affirmation, and collective joy.

    More casual and interactive than our reflective offerings, The Gather Collective creates space for community members to show up authentically, learn together, and engage in meaningful moments that center care and belonging.

    Events may be held virtually or in person and are shaped collaboratively to reflect the energy and needs of your audience.

    What It Might Include:

    Creative reflection, storytelling, light facilitation, music, art-based prompts, or interactive conversation rooted in wellness and community care.

    Who It’s For:

    Organizations, schools, community partners, and local groups looking to host engaging, culturally grounded events that spark joy, reflection, and connection.
