Third Root’s Legacy
by Laura Measher
As a parting gift, Third Root was given a documentary by journalist and designer Laura Measher, in which several Third Root co-founders, practitioners, and customers share their experience with the maintenance and closing of Third Root, as well as their hopes for the future. As we shut our doors, we hope they’ve opened new ones for wellness spaces to come.
