about rooted
Our offerings
Rooted is a collective dedicated to fostering spaces of response to alienation and separation through fostering environments of connection to self, other, and our world through somatic practices, creative expression, and critical consciousness raising. Grounded in depth approaches and psychologies, decolonial values and radical love, we engage in the work of contextualizing and metabolizing experience, celebrating vitality, nourishing imagination, and co-creating futures rooted in joy, justice, and embodied awareness.
Together, we nurture ecologies of care where each person contributes to the nourishment and resilience of the whole.

tHE VILLAGE
The Village is a monthly membership space for embodied study, practice, and collective care. A living experiment in the commons, it fosters trust, reciprocity, and relational risk as we gather, learn, and support one another. Through shared study and acts of care, The Village nurtures belonging beyond individualism, inviting members to co-create a world rooted in interdependence.

Our time-bound dedicated study programs align with the mission and values of the Rooted Global Village. We are dedicated to the principles of unlearning, contextualizing how we arrived to where we are today, and experimenting with how we can create new worlds through communal acts of study and co-creation.
These programs are designed to inspire reflection, dialogue, and embodied practice, incorporating diverse mediums such as texts, music, art, and somatic engagement. Our study programs also offer a glimpse into the cultural ethos we are dedicated to inside of The Village.

Study Programs
Rooted exists as a homeplace for nurturing transformative relationships, and as a watering hole for inspiring and nurturing new modes of being and relating. We are committed to the slow, meaningful work of tending to our collective journey coming out of systems that have shaped experience and relationship within Western culture.
Rooted invites encounters that offer new possibilities for connection—between ourselves, each other, and the world through group study opportunities and a collective of bodies in the practice of liberation and the creation of a care ecology (the Village). We trust in the power of bodily wisdom, curiosity, and tending to grief, joy, and relationship to foster spaces of collaborative survival and creative potential.
To become what we need to each other, and to find power in friendship, is to become dangerous.

We love Music! Music from around the world! Music that connects, music that shifts, moves and metabolizes our life energy! Here you can enjoy a collection of music compiled by our dear friend and resident musician/dj/scholar, Cliff Berrien.
