COUNTDOWN TO THE ROOTED RETREAT: EVERGREEN
THE ROOTED RETREAT
The Rooted Retreat brings women of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color in the social sector from around the world together like no other event can!
Take a 3-day journey of learning, inspiration, and release as we bring together experts on topics like fundraising, management + leadership, wellness, storytelling and wealth-building to share how to make our personal and professional lives happier, healthier, and better - all from the comforts of your own home!
SCHEDULE
DAY 1
Panels, masterclasses, and comedy, oh my! We’re kicking things off into high gear for our first day with some of the industry’s best and brightest sowing and sharing how to elevate our careers, brands, and lives to the next level!
DAY 2
The pruning continues on day two as we welcome our keynote speakers, move our bodies to musical vibes provided by our resident DJ, and wind down the day (and night!) with new friends!
DAY 3
Day Three is a full day of cultivating as we explore the idea of becoming evergreen women in all areas of our lives. We’ll also announce the winners of our Who's Up Next - Speaker Pitch Competition!
