Rooted & Rising
A Women’s Wellness Morning
February 22, 2026 | 9:00am–12:00pm
📍 Thrive Studios
Rooted & Rising is a sacred invitation to slow down, soften inward, and reconnect with yourself — so you can rise from a place of self-love, presence, and inner stability.
This three-hour women’s wellness experience is designed to support your nervous system, move energy through the body, and help you remember that true momentum begins within. Through intentional movement, energy healing, and soulful reflection, you’ll be guided back into alignment with your body, your intuition, and your inner strength.
Co-hosted by Stacey Garcia, host of the Never Miss A Monday podcast, and Ilyse Cohen, founder of Dancinerate, Rooted & Rising blends grounding practices with expressive movement — creating space to release what no longer serves and reconnect to what matters most.
