About Rootead
Our Mission
Reclaiming the village by holding spaces for birthing justice, youth enrichment and healing arts.
Why the "tea" in our name?
To remind us to move easy, steep and sip all things in life, fully and mindfully. To be soothed through all the ups and downs life brings, and remember above all else that we are not alone, deeply connected and rooted with one another.
a village for everyone
where they can experience healing and liberation
