“We are thrilled to move our practice to Root and Bloom Institute, in a space where community healing, liberation, and equitable mental health care are woven into the foundation. Our collaboration reflects the values at the heart of Alchemy and helps us grow without compromising what matters most. We’re incredibly grateful to VWC’s deep generosity and commitment to building authentic relationship with a focus on reciprocity- and we look forward to embarking on our next chapter alongside them.”

The creation of the Root and Bloom Institute feels both timely and transformative. As we continue to emerge from the isolating impacts of the COVID era and navigate increasingly uncertain times, having a dedicated and intentional environment for in-person somatic trainings and community reconnection is not only healing — it is essential. Root and Bloom Institute is the new home for Embodywise — a vibrant and inclusive venue for high-quality, in-person professional somatic trainings and community events. This space offers more than just a physical location; it is a living container for embodied learning, deep relational presence, and collective renewal.
