I have created a new category, a space to uplift people, programs, and communities doing meaningful healing and care work. While Skool community can be a part of this, the idea behind Rooted Spotlights highlights practices grounded in relationship, embodiment, justice, creativity, and connection to the living world outside of Skool. This is where we honor what’s working, learn from one another, and stay nourished by collective wisdom and possibility. The first highlight is Soulfire Farm. This is a powerful organization doing incredibly important work in the world.

A few Skool tips to help you get the most out of this community—especially as we grow. I learned a few of these from @Jack Robinson and the wealth of info he has in the Skool Yard 1️⃣ Like your own posts + comments; It may feel funny, but liking your own post or comment does count toward your Leadership Board points. While we’re not doing a lot with the leaderboard yet, it will start to matter—higher engagement will unlock access to some content, and I’ll also be doing shout-outs to folks who are showing up and contributing in meaningful ways. 2️⃣ Customize your notifications: As the community grows and I continue to post more regularly, emails and notifications may start to feel like a lot. You can adjust notification settings for each Skool community individually: - Hourly - Daily - Weekly - Or never I personally keep most of mine set to 1x/week, but you might prefer daily or real-time updates. Choose what supports your nervous system, not what overwhelms it. 3️⃣ Check the Classroom tab: This is where courses, replays, and structured content live. If you miss a live or want to revisit something, this is your go-to spot. This is still very much a seedling and we hope to grow the classroom into a forest. 4️⃣ Pin posts you want to come back to: Pinned posts stay at the top of your feed—great for practices, resources, or conversations you want to return to. 5️⃣ Lurking counts: You don’t have to post to belong. Reading, reflecting, and quietly taking things in is a valid (and often necessary) way of being in community. 6️⃣ Use the search bar: Looking for a topic, practice, or question you remember seeing? The search tool can save a lot of scrolling. If you have other Skool hacks you love, drop them in the comments—we’ll build this wisdom together

I want to share a brief update and invitation as this space continues to take shape. This community was originally created as a home for the Rooted in Healing podcast. We’ve decided to pause the podcast for now, with the intention of revisiting it in the fall. Rather than closing this space, I felt it was important to keep what’s already growing here alive. Going forward, this community will live under the Hope Reimagined umbrella—a place for practice, reflection, and connection. What you can expect over time: - Community practice spaces (forest bathing, centering, somatic and embodied practices) - Opportunities to learn together in accessible ways - CEU-eligible offerings in the near future (I am a CEU provider) - A mix of free community content, with optional premium spaces for those seeking deeper connection and learning For now, this space is free, relational, and in emergence. Nothing here is finished—this is the beginning of something that will evolve with care, pacing, and integrity. Thank you for being part of this early chapter. Your presence helps shape what this becomes.
