Rooted & Radiant: An 8-Week Chakra Reiki Meditation Series
You’re not too much. You’re just patterned.
And your body already knows the way home—ritual just opens the door.
Join us for Rooted & Radiant, an 8-week chakra meditation series guided by Leah Vautrot, intuitive wellness practitioner, genetic herbalist, and Reiki master.
Each week, we’ll explore one chakra through the lens of energy healing, guided meditation, and gentle embodiment—grounding your nervous system and reconnecting you with your power, presence, and purpose.
You’re welcome to attend one session or all eight—every circle is complete on its own, but together they form a deeper journey of rooted, radiant integration.
This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about returning—fully, beautifully—to your own rhythm.
🌀 Each 60-minute session includes:
Breathwork + energetic grounding
Guided Reiki meditation focused on that week’s chakra
Gentle embodiment practices to anchor awareness
From Root to Crown, you’ll build a practice of inner steadiness, spiritual sovereignty, and soul-deep regulation.
Starts July 7, 2025 thru August 25, 2025 | Mondays at 7pm

Sliding scale donation | All bodies + belief systems welcome

Rooted & Resilient: A 6-Week Series to Nourish Your Nervous System
Join experienced yoga teachers Allison Welder and Mina Isabel Shahriary for a six-week deep dive into tending your nervous system. Drawing on multiple wisdom traditions and modern polyvagal theory, we’ll explore yoga practices and other powerful self-care techniques that can help support a healthy, resilient nervous system. In the process, we’ll connect and co-regulate together in community.
Each class will begin with a simple tea ceremony, brief connection circle, guided meditation and somatic movement. We’ll continue with a learning & discussion circle followed by a gentle 30 to 45-minute practice. Class will end with deep relaxation accompanied by healing sound, stone medicine, and/or marma point massage.
Over the six weeks, you will gather a toolkit of simple and effective self-care practices you can use—and share with others—to help calm, nourish and restore balance in your nervous system.
