Root into your ALIVENESS and cultivate
inspired & embodied visions for growth
The world needs leaders and change makers connected to yourself, your vision, your nourishment and your full aliveness, such that you can show up in your power for your community.
The Rooted Vision Cultivator assumes that:
-
You are an innately creative organic being who is part of cycles and seasons of change.
-
We are interdependent, and your vision for liberation and creative flourishing is a vital part of a larger collective dream.
-
Our positionalities and ancestral trauma/genius are unique, as is our work towards liberation and creative flourishing.
-
When we get connected to our roots - our bodies & inherent wisdom, our values, the earth, our dreams and our pain, we open new possibilities for creative flourishing.
-
A part of moving from a culture of extraction/domination/oppression into a culture of collective nourishment and creative flourishing will require us to divest from ways that we exploit ourselves and get boldly creative in imagining new ways of being.
I have spent the past decade learning from powerful somatic healers, anti-oppression facilitators, coaches and non-human guides, the trees, to connect to my vision and power as a change maker, and move through the depths to embody more aliveness in the process.
And I want that for you, too!
The Rooted Vision Cultivator is for you if any of the following apply:
-
You're a community leader, visionary, creative, cultural worker or wellness practitioner questioning the oppressive capitalist-supremacist rat race and have hope that another way is possible, one grounded in earth's wisdom and liberation for ALL
-
You yearn to embody your vision and values more boldly, standing up for what's right in your work and personal life
-
You feel scattered, confused or lost in the current sociopolitical moment & need to reconnect to your most sacred "why"
-
You want to make and impact AND a livelihood through your work without burning out
-
You have a beautiful dream for this world and lots of good ideas, but need a grounded plan for HOW
-
You need support from a trusted community of creative thinkers
Yes, that's me!
How can the Rooted Vision Cultivator help me to bloom this spring?
Circle Up, Be Seen
As human critters, we NEED communities of unconditional positive regard to be witnessed and grow. Being witnessed helps us get clear and face difficult truths within us. We will circle up weekly for 6 weeks to support your transformation.
Befriend Shadows
Shadows are disavowed parts of ourselves, such as stuck feelings, unexamined limiting beliefs, denied desires... anything that prevent us from taking the action we know is required for success. We will identify and work with shadows with fierce compassion.
Get Rooted
When you CONNECT to your most sacred values, clarify your vision for your work, identify & transform shadows blocking the way, and craft an aligned plan of action, creative energy can FLOW and your growth is unstoppable, baby!
Ok, but what exactly will we be doing?
Connect to the values that motivate your work
Through creative exercises, embodiment activities, group dialogue and coaching conversations, you will get clear about what values root you in your work & inspire action. This clarity will help you to get creative around new strategies to embody these values.
Define what strategies
& approaches matter
By reflecting on previous projects and future hopes, you will clarify what skills & modes of work inspire you as well as which branches of your creative life tree need to grow the most in 2024 to nourish your most sacred values.
Get Creative
In the Rooted Vision Tree guided creative process, we will allow ourselves space to diverge, to generate ideas and possibilities without capping our dreams constantly. The divergence phase of creativity helps us to create a realm of possibilities that will get narrowed down in the convergence phase.
Connect to the values that motivate your work
Through creative exercises, embodiment activities, group dialogue and coaching conversations, you will get clear about what values root you in your work & inspire action. This clarity will help you to get creative around new strategies to embody these values.
Align Your Approach and Branches of Influence
By reflecting on previous projects and future hopes, you will clarify what skills & modes of work inspire you as well as which branches of your creative life tree need to grow the most in 2024 to nourish your most sacred values.
Get Creative
In the Rooted Vision Tree guided creative practice, you will get to "diverge," or play and generate ideas and possibilities without capping your dreams. When we allow divergence, we can be free to acknowledge what we REALLY want, and THEN get specific in the convergence phase of the creative process.
Craft a Vision Rooted in Your Values
You will come away from this 8 weeks with a Rooted Vision Tree, a tool for visualizing how it all fts together, and create an action plan with next steps for 2024 that motivate & sustain you. You'll have a plan that you deeply believe in and amplifies your self-defined success.
Get Grounded, Sit with the Trees
Many visionaries get overwhelmed with the bigness of their ideas and how much it will take to realize their grandiose dreams. We will practice connecting to ourselves and the land (wherever you are) to build our capacities and get resourced with the earth that feeds us.
Move and Groove
Whether you attend the optional ecstatic dances or not, various live sessions will include intuitive movement and guided visualization, which will connect us to our bodies and integrate the inner wisdom that lays just under the surface of our awareness at any given moment.

Your Facilitator
Liberty Gonzalez, M.A. (They/Them)
Will this help me grow my business, organization or projects?
I need to make a living...
Yes, yes, and yes! First off, getting more aligned in yourself, with your aliveness and your visions for creative flourishing and liberation are integral to making a living that feeds you physically and spiritually. Aside from the powerful internal work, we will get specific and strategic. Bring your ideas, your questions, concerns and challenges. If you need more intensive workshopping of your ideas and strategies, your program discount gains you access to a variety of 1-on-1 containers where we can get into it.
I come from a marginalized identity. Will there be people like me? Is this group safe for me?
This work is not just trauma-informed but sensitive to the complex dynamics of interpersonal, intergenerational and cultural trauma. Your main coach and facilitator moves with the sensitivity of a genderqueer Jewitch (pagan Jew) neurodivergent trauma survivor experience, shaped by years of diverse community work and study that have prepared them to hold this role. Generally speaking, we attract change makers from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences, but cannot guarantee the make-up of each group.
What if I can't afford the group? Are there scholarships?
Folks with marginalized identities, including low-income, and disabled folks may request a scholarship, please email liberty@awakeningcreatives.com with your name and your request.
