What is Included:

  • A 2.5 hour workshop, with similarly intentioned community of women, where we will:

    • learn about the functioning of the autonomic nervous system

    • slow down, unplug, and tune into the language of our bodies

    • practice mindfulness while hiking in the woods

    • identify parts of our daily lives that are craving a different rhythm and plan initial steps for new practices with specific attainable goals

    • give and receive support from a group of like-hearted women

  • Five Monthly 90-minute Zoom (Birmingham) or In-Person (Asheville) sessions to build on the content of the workshop and strengthen the support of community

    • slow and drop into greater awareness of the present moment with mindfulness practices

    • explore gentle yoga movement that can be incorporated into your daily life

    • set actionable goals for daily routines that center on your individual needs for health and wellness

    • calm anxious thoughts by learning to orient to safety, the here and now, the body, the breath, and the natural world

  • Unlimited potential to meet up with members of the group for hiking, yoga, and any form of community tending. This part is encouraged and up to the participants to co-create.

  • The option to work with Sommerville for the duration of the five months to individually integrate all that you are discovering! This addition will upgrade your experience to a Rooting In Personal Package*

  • The option to join a Rooting In Retreat at the end of the series.
