A come-as-you-are gathering place in Sacramento — for workshops, classes,

and connection. Rooted together.

The vision

  • Close-up of dirt with two hands and feet pressing down, dirty and muddy, surrounded by green plants, with the caption 'I am rooted.'
  • Cooking class setup with wooden pestles, mortar bowls, herbs, and ingredients on a long table.
  • Group of people participating in a meditation or yoga class in a bright room with large windows overlooking greenery. They are sitting on mats or cushions, facing a woman leading the session, who is sitting on a rug with floral decorations and a whiteboard nearby.
  • Dried lavender hanging upside down from a wooden rack in a cozy shop with people browsing shelves of jars, pots, and gardening supplies.
  • Group of women gathered in a cozy, stylish indoor space with plants, hanging mirrors, and a large patterned rug, engaging in a craft or knitting activity.
  • Group of people practicing yoga in a studio, with one person leading a pose at the front
  • A group of women gathered in a cozy living room, sitting on a sofa and chairs, engaged in conversation, reading, and drinking coffee, with bookshelves and a large window in the background.
  • A woman plays crystal singing bowls surrounded by greenery in a cozy, softly lit room with people resting on mats, shelves with plants and candles, and a decorative wall piece with the word 'kanekshun'.

FAQs

  • Please dress in whatever you like. I recommend a bathing suit, a dress, shorts or a t-shirt.

    Pack a towel to dry off and water to drink. It is semi-shaded where we usually go.

  • The location is along the American River. I will provide the directions for where we will meet in the email following your booking. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the location. Parking is $7.

  • Come with an open heart and mind. I encourage you to speak as things come up. Cry. Silence is also welcomed. There is no pressure for you to have to show up in a certain way. I will be speaking throughout the experience.

  • I always recommend drinking lots of water following this experience. You are moving a lot of energy through your body and letting go of blockages. Water helps clear this out.

    Continue to sit with your intention. Journal about your reflections. You have made space within so make sure you are filling it in a way that supports and aligns with your intention.

  • SoulWell is $111 and $7 for parking.

    If this cost is not achievable, but you feel called to this experience please reach out anyway and explain. I desire for there to be a limited barrier to entry for this experience. I understand we are all coming from different walks of life and I want to honor that. We all deserve nurturing.

It is my hope that through these offerings we:

  • Remember

    It has become so easy to lose sight of ourselves in this world we live in. I want to empower you bring mindful moments to your life to remind you to rekindle that connection internally so you can feel at peace and know the direction you want to go.

  • Connect

    As you connect to your essence (which I believe slow living greatly assists in, ) you will begin attracting the type of people you desire to build lasting relationships with. You are what you attract.

  • Cultivate

    Connect to the Earth and the abundance it has to offer. There is a beauty in growing food in your own garden, making food from scratch, feeling empowered through an understanding of herbal medicine. Knowing how to utilize all that is around us to make items for our life builds a symbiotic connection to the Earth.
