Hi everyone, just a quick update for today. Sonny is experiencing a migraine since last night and needs some time to rest and recover. We’ll need to cancel today’s live session. Thank you for your understanding. We’ll be back to our normal schedule on Thursday and look forward to practicing together then. In the meantime, feel free to revisit any recordings in the Classroom if you’d like to keep your practice going. Appreciate your support and see you soon 🌱

As we transition into a new season, we’re happy to welcome those who are just joining the Rooted Alchemy community🌱🌻 Whether you’re completely new or continuing your path, this is a space to move at your own pace, grow steadily, and reconnect with your body in a supportive environment. Feel free to say hello! ✨ For our existing members — let’s welcome spring together! Here are a few fun questions to spark connection: - What does “renewal” in your practice look like this season? I’ll start first... this season, I’d like to approach renewal a little differently than I have before (usually change/evolve something). Instead of pushing forward or adding more, I want to return to a beginner’s mind... to see the practice with fresh eyes, as if I’m learning it for the first time again😌 @Elaine DeMasi @Sharon Palinsky @Eva Michaela @Elizabeth Wangmo @Kristan Lopes @T Laird @Lewis Klason @Nancy Reich @Wes MacDurmon @Axel Müller @Ximena Dussan-Aya Pearson @Verena Ellerkamp @Valeria Agustoni @Linda Tapscott @Robert McDunn @Orshi Hunyady @Jee Dax @Paul Custer @David Shipley @Agnieszka Kałużyńska @Adele Dupuis-Miller @Danial Fitzgerald @Terry Ann Sturm @Alan Hubble @Ana Maria Jelescu @Lori Morgan

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update. First off, congratulations again to everyone who completed the challenge. We’re proud of you. As far as the prizes go, we placed the merch order last week. Our manufacturer is out of the country, so production and shipping to us will take several weeks. Once everything arrives, we’ll need a little time to sort the items and send them out to each individual winner. Because of this timeline, you’ll most likely receive your prizes in early May. We know you’re excited, and trust us, we were just as excited to run this contest. Everything is in motion. It’s just taking a bit longer than we originally expected. You will absolutely receive your prizes and gifts. For the next contest, we’ll make sure the prizes are ready in advance so the turnaround is much faster. Thank you for your patience 🙂
