TESTIMONIALS
What Theyโre Saying
Deep gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you for your vision and commitment.
Wow.. the green walls of Third Root have held so much of my healing process. Literally propping me up when I could not stand on my own, holding my hand when I was too scared to move forward, and reminding me that there is a healer inside me. I am forever grateful that brave souls came into my life and introduced me to this space (Julia, Geleni, Emily, Shri, Roopa, Telesh, Jacoby, Romina, Jomo, Anyanwu, Kate, Alicia, Anna ~ all of you!). For had I not encountered this space of radical imagination and radical healing, I may have ended up in a very different place in my life when I was most ill. I am forever grateful and I am looking so forward to what the seeds of this vision will manifest.
This place is so special. Thank you so much for healing so many of us over and over and over...Third Root wil be in my soul forever...
I would not be the person I am today had I not worked at Third Root (as a volunteer first then as employee) for two and half years in my early twenties -- in so so so very many ways. My body healed, my heart healed, my feelings about (not) belonging healed. My connection to lineages of justice and resistance and earth medicine and spirituality and care work were formed and deepened at Third Root. I learned how to truly *see* someone, to truly hear them and meet them, from observing how third root practitioners saw and heard and met their clients, and how they saw and heard and met me. Third Root also taught me about the messiness of multiracial, cross-class collective work, and gave me glimpses about how to hold contradiction and nuance through conflict, how to never lose touch with each other's and our own humanity. I could go on and on! Thank you to everyone who ever passed through those doors; each person made Third Root the space we have come to know and trust and love. I love you all!
โThat massage improved my back tension instantly and was the most relaxed I’ve been throughout all of 2020.โ
โI appreciate the simple blend of social consciousness and spirituality; the encouragement from the teachers and the overall unpretentious and genuine care and insight Third Root provides through mind-body work.โ
