Rooted & Reflective: Exploring the Spaces That Shape Us

This summer, we'll introduce strategies for attuning more deeply to the patterns of our surroundings and observe what aspects of our environment nourish us or don't. Our environment isn't just the backdrop to our lives. It can also be the subtle and cumulative effects of the choices we make, habits we hold, and physical spaces in which we dwell. Through reflection, we can bridge the gap between awareness and action- we'll notice how such patterns can influence our emotions, energy, and overall wellness through that reflection, and create more intentional choices that support personal and collective thriving.

For more on this theme, stay tuned to our weekly newsletter and Insta account for weekly resources, tips, and reflections.
