Experience

Rooted Woodland

Come as you are.

Gather, connect, learn, grow and heal.

The intention of creating Rooted Woodland was to create a welcoming space that nurtures every human who chooses to show up for themselves.  The space welcomes guests to gather, learn, grow, heal, transform and get quiet without the distractions from our modern, fast paced and busy world.

When you visit, you will experience being able to take a deep breath that you didn’t even know you needed.

    The eve of the new moon: There's something powerful about gathering around a fire as the moon disappears, ready to begin again.

    This evening is for anyone who feels called to gather in community in the forest.

    A full evening held by Jodie. We'll move through guided breathwork, reflection and intention setting, a supported cold plunge, sauna rounds, and time around the fire, with snacks and tea to nourish you along the way.

  • November Full Moon Fire & Ice Experience

    Sunday Morning Start your day in the forest in community to surrender under the full moon and let go of what's ready to be released.

    You will be fully guided and supported through a contrast therapy circuit with the wood burning sauna and a cold plunge.

    There will be a light snack and refreshments available.
