Queer Dharma Fundraiser: Sound Bath & Restorative Touch at Root: Center for Yoga & Sacred Studies – Colorado Springs, CO

A Fundraiser for Root: Center for Yoga & Sacred Studies

An evening of sound, stillness, and community in support of Root.

Join us for a restorative evening of sound, Yoga Nidra, gentle touch, and aromatherapy — an opportunity to slow down, soften, and reconnect while giving back to a place that has touched so many hearts.

Root: Center for Yoga & Sacred Studies is a special place. For many, it has been a sanctuary, a gathering space, a place of learning, healing, belonging, and connection. It has held space for countless moments of transformation, and its impact reaches far beyond its walls.

If Root has touched your heart, supported your practice, offered you a sense of belonging, or simply been a meaningful part of your journey, we invite you to pay that care forward.

This gathering is a chance to come together in support of Root during a difficult time. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the Root Bridge Fund, which helps support Root's operating expenses as the center navigates this next chapter.

But this is about more than preserving a place exactly as it is.

It is about honoring what has been, caring for what is here now, and creating space to imagine what comes next.

Through the simple act of gathering, resting, and contributing, we can help create a bridge toward new possibilities. Paying it forward doesn't always have to be grand. Sometimes it looks like showing up, sharing what we can, and helping sustain the spaces that have nourished us.

What to Expect

• Sound Bath: Immerse yourself in soothing sounds and vibrations designed to encourage deep rest and relaxation.
• Yoga Nidra: Be guided through a gentle practice of conscious rest, inviting the body and mind into a deeply restorative state.
• Gentle Touch: Experience supportive, intentional touch to deepen relaxation and a sense of grounding.
• Aromatherapy: Enjoy subtle aromatic elements to complement the experience and invite the senses to soften.

No previous experience is necessary. Simply come as you are, get comfortable, and allow yourself to receive. Bring blankets, eye masks, a weighted plushy - anything you need to be comfortable and cozy.

Event Details

If Root has ever held space for you, we hope you'll join us. Come receive, come reconnect, and come be part of something that gives back.

May this be a reminder that the spaces that nourish us are worth showing up for — and that what we create together can become something beautiful beyond what we can currently imagine.
