Rooted & Rising

A Monthly Rise Above the Ashes Circle

The First Sunday of each Month at noon MST/PDT

A gentle monthly group for people navigating stress, overwhelm, sensitivity, chronic illness, burnout or major life transitions.

Rooted & Rising is a compassionate space to pause, reflect, listen inward & practice moving from survival patterns toward a more grounded, self-honoring way of living.

You do not have to arrive with everything figured out.

You do not have to be perfectly healed, endlessly positive or ready to transform your whole life overnight.

You are welcome here as you are — tired, tender, uncertain, hopeful, rebuilding, becoming.

Come root.
Come rise.
Come home to yourself, one honest step at a time.

Your first circle is free.
After your first visit, each monthly circle is $27.

What Is Rooted & Rising?

Rooted & Rising is a monthly wellness & self-awareness circle rooted in the Rise Above the Ashes Protocol, a compassionate framework for understanding yourself more deeply, honoring what you carry & creating sustainable change.

Each month, we gather for gentle teaching, grounding, reflection, practical tools & supportive conversation. Every session focuses on one step of the Rise Above the Ashes Protocol, helping you build awareness, listen to your body, recognize old patterns, make more aligned choices & integrate what you are learning into daily life.

This is not a space for quick fixes, forced positivity or pushing yourself to become someone you are not.

Instead, Rooted & Rising offers a softer rhythm: one month, one step, one honest layer at a time.

The circle moves through a six-month repeating cycle, & each cycle explores a new theme. This means you can join at any point & still receive a complete, meaningful experience. You do not have to start at the beginning. You only need to begin where you are.

Rooted & Rising is for those who are learning how to stop abandoning themselves simply to survive — & who are ready to practice living with more self-awareness, steadiness, compassion & choice.

Who This Circle Is For

Rooted & Rising may be for you if you are:

  • feeling overwhelmed, burned out or emotionally exhausted
  • navigating chronic illness, sensitivity, grief or major life changes
  • learning how to listen to your body instead of constantly pushing past it
  • trying to understand old survival patterns with more compassion
  • craving a supportive space where you do not have to explain or perform
  • ready to move toward a steadier, more grounded version of thriving

You do not have to arrive with everything figured out.

You do not have to be ready for a full transformation.

You only need a willingness to pause, reflect, listen inward & take one honest step toward yourself.

How It Works

Rooted & Rising meets once a month.

Each session focuses on one step of the Rise Above the Ashes Protocol, a compassionate framework for self-awareness, renewal & sustainable change.

The circle moves through a six-month repeating rhythm:

  1. Redefining Awareness
  2. Honoring Grief & Identity Shifts
  3. Listening to the Body’s Language
  4. Identifying Hidden Patterns & Identity Leaks
  5. Choosing Conscious Alignment
  6. Embodying Awareness for Lasting Change

After each six-month cycle, we begin again with a new theme. This allows participants to join at any point while still receiving a clear, grounded & supportive experience.

The protocol repeats, but the theme deepens.

Each time we return to the process, we meet ourselves in a new place.

What Happens in Each Session

Each monthly circle includes:

  • a gentle opening grounding practice
  • a short teaching connected to that month’s protocol step
  • reflection prompts for self-awareness & integration
  • a guided practice, journaling exercise or practical tool
  • optional sharing & supportive conversation
  • one small “feather to carry forward” into daily life

Everything is offered with consent, spaciousness & respect for your capacity.

You are welcome to participate in the way that feels right for you. Some people share. Some people listen. Some people journal quietly. All of those are valid ways to be present.

What Makes This Different

Rooted & Rising is not a space where you will be pressured to “get over it,” stay positive, push harder or become someone you are not.

This circle honors the truth that many people are carrying invisible things: stress, grief, sensitivity, illness, fatigue, uncertainty, old patterns, tender transitions or lives that have asked too much of them for too long.

Here, thriving does not mean being endlessly productive, perfectly healed or happy all the time.

Thriving means living with more self-awareness, self-trust, steadiness, choice, support & self-compassion.

It means learning how to stay rooted in yourself while life continues to change.

The Rise Above the Ashes Rhythm

Each six-month cycle follows the same transformational rhythm: 

Month One: Redefining Awareness

We begin by noticing what is true. This month is about becoming aware of what you are carrying, where you may be surviving & what your current life is asking you to see.

Month Two: Honoring Grief & Identity Shifts

We make space for the losses, changes & identity shifts that often come with growth, illness, sensitivity, burnout or transition. Nothing needs to be minimized here.

Month Three: Listening to the Body’s Language

We practice noticing the body’s signals with more compassion & curiosity. Your body is not the enemy. It is often the messenger.

Month Four: Identifying Hidden Patterns & Identity Leaks

We explore the places where energy, identity, self-trust or capacity may be leaking away through old survival patterns, expectations or unspoken needs.

Month Five: Choosing Conscious Alignment

We choose one small, honest step that honors who we are now. This is not about changing everything overnight. It is about choosing with more awareness.

Month Six: Embodying Awareness for Lasting Change

We integrate what we have discovered & create a simple way to carry it into daily life.

Then the cycle begins again with a new theme, giving you a steady rhythm of reflection, restoration & renewal.

Join the Circle

Rooted & Rising is for those who are ready to stop forcing their way through life & begin practicing a more grounded, compassionate way of rising.

You are welcome here with your questions, your tenderness, your uncertainty, your wisdom, your weariness & your hope.

Come root.
Come rise.
Come home to yourself, one honest step at a time.
