Rooting at the Rose Garden: An Hour of Presence & Gratitude

Friday, October 17, 6-7 PM
The Rose Garden at Roger Williams Park

 

As the sun begins to set, you’re invited to step into a soft, sacred space beneath open sky—a time to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with what anchors you. For one night only, Pneuhaus’s Mini Groves installation lights up the lawn near the Rose Garden, setting the backdrop for an evening of presence and gratitude with Sussy Santana. Santana leads a communal experience of grounding, release, and visioning. Through simple ritual, shared reflection, and quiet presence, we’ll tend to the roots of our inner lives and open to what wants to grow next.

Together, we’ll ask:

What truths are rising within you?

What can be offered back to the earth?

What are you ready to invite into your path?

This gathering is a moment to honor transitions—big or small—and to remember the power of gathering in intention, under nature’s open embrace. Bring yourself. No experience needed—just a willingness to be present. Come root down in gratitude, and rise with new intention. All are welcome.
