This was a great experience. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but it was a great combination of discussion, reflection, art and meditation. Give it a try!

This class was really interesting and helpful. I left feeling really good about myself and learned quite a few techniques for helping with emotional well being.

Please take this class. This was a very educational and positive experience. If you are burned out and trying to change direction, this is where you should start.

I wasn't sure what to expect and I was very happy with the experience. It was a small intimate group and I felt like I learned some things about myself and how to be authentic.
The staff at Rooted is incredible, empathetic and very intelligent. They are also very insightful. The space is very pretty and is a relaxing atmosphere.

$5 for this enriching and uplifting experience is such a steal! I left walking on cloud nine. I loved this class so much. The opportunity to artfully express yourself in a safe and non-judgmental environment is priceless. Guided meditation, drawing, writing, discussion and music all play roles in this process. I highly recommend this class to anyone who needs a little time out of the confines of the corporate box. Refresh your creative side!

Arriving early, I had an opportunity to speak with the founder, Shruti, and she confirmed what I've thought for the longest while - people are meant to cross your path at that specific moment when you need them. Not only was she a delight, but hearing of her journey, and how it closely mirrored mine, gave me great comfort I was in the right place at Rooted.

This is a great workshop and a fantastic opportunity to practice self care through reflection and self expression. The group that came was great as well and I left feeling good about the experience, people I met and myself!
