Rooted & Crowned: An Art & Wellness Experience

🎨🌱 Rooted & Crowned: An Art & Wellness Experience
You don’t have to be an artist, just open to creating.
Rooted & Crowned is a hands-on art and wellness experience for anyone who loves art, misses art, or has always wanted to try it but didn’t know where to start.
In this workshop, you’ll paint and decorate a foam mannequin head using color, texture, and personal symbolism; then plant a live plant in the crown, transforming your piece into a living work of art. The process is intuitive, relaxing, and grounded in the idea that creativity grows when we give ourselves space to breathe, play, and explore.
There’s no right or wrong way to create here. No guided steps. No pressure to “get it right.” Just a welcoming space where you can slow down, get your hands messy, and let art meet you exactly where you are.
✨ What to expect:
A beginner-friendly, judgment-free creative space
All art and planting materials provided
Time to explore color, texture, and self-expression
A living art piece to take home
Gentle reflection and affirmations woven into the experience
Whether you’re an experienced artist, a casual creative, or someone who’s never picked up a paintbrush before, this workshop is an invitation to reconnect—with creativity, with nature, and with yourself.
Come curious. Leave rooted, crowned, and inspired.

What is Transformation?

Racial healing is at the heart of racial equity. Racial healing is about:

  • the people work that leads to the transformation of systems;
  • the telling of hard truths about past wrongs and present consequences;
  • repairing the harm of racism;
  • replacing the deeply held system that fuels racism with one that sees the inherent value of all people;
  • authentic relationship-building across real and perceived differences.

 

Without racial healing and building trust, changes in policies or practices are short-lived. Through healing and relationship-building, we can collectively develop new values that affect our everyday decisions in areas of policy making, hiring, education and housing – to name just a few.

What is Racial Healing?

Racial healing refers to the process of addressing and repairing the harm caused by racial injustice, discrimination, and systemic oppression.

It involves acknowledging historical and present-day injustices, fostering understanding and empathy across racial divides, and promoting reconciliation, healing, and solidarity among individuals and communities.

Racial healing recognizes the deep-seated trauma and intergenerational impact of racism on individuals, families, and society as a whole, and seeks to create spaces for healing, dialogue, and transformative change.

It encompasses personal, interpersonal, and systemic dimensions, and involves both individual reflection and collective action to address the root causes of racial inequity and promote equity, justice, and belonging for all.

Racial healing is a proactive and ongoing process that requires commitment, compassion, and collaboration from individuals, communities, institutions, and society at large.
