Happy New Year! Welcome Alex Rooted, a basket weaver, creative, and advocate for slowing down and reconnecting with ancestral wisdom. Alex shares her journey from a faster-paced life as a photographer and videographer to finding purpose and meaning in the ancient craft of weaving.

What You’ll Hear:

-       Grounding into Winter: Embracing the season’s invitation to slow down, reflect, and align with nature’s cycles.

-       Weaving as a Life Practice: How Alex discovered basket weaving, its ancestral roots, and the profound lessons it teaches about patience, presence, and imperfection.

-       Creating Intentional Beauty: The transformative power of crafting a life filled with meaning, from building a tiny home to weaving with natural materials.

-       Ancestral Connection and Authentic Living: Exploring ancestry as a guiding force for modern creativity, motherhood, and returning to a slower, more authentic way of life.

-       Navigating Creativity and Capitalism: Balancing personal passions with the pressure to monetize art while fostering community and connection in a fast-paced world.
