Rooted In Wellness

Rooted In Wellness is an intimate, immersive gathering designed to ground Black women in the 8 dimensions of wellness—physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, occupational, financial, and environmental. We’re curating a holistic experience that feels like a soft landing: a space to slow down, learn, connect, and be poured into mind, body, and spirit.

Guests will enjoy a dedicated vendor hour featuring an herbalist, masseuse, esthetician, and facilitators, along with light music, refreshments, and The Black Girl Agenda merch. From there, Charlotte Andrews of The Lotus W.E.L.L. will lead a plant therapy sneak peek, guiding guests through the benefits of plant-based practices and a hands-on potpourri-making experience so they can create something sensory and grounding to take home.

We’ll then shift into financial wellness with coach Leslie Reis, who will break down the fundamentals of financial literacy and how money management is deeply connected to our overall wellbeing. To close, Zelette Harris will offer a restorative sound bath experience, introducing sound healing and Reiki-infused care to help participants release, reset, and leave feeling truly rooted in themselves and their community.
