About us

Ritual + Root is a Creative + Collective Studio — a gathering place where creativity, holistic practices, and community come together.

We offer curated experiences like candle making, mindfulness painting, and private events that spark connection and self-expression. Alongside creative workshops, we host holistic practices including sound baths, reiki, tarot, astrology, and mindfulness classes — experiences designed to nurture mind, body, and spirit.

Our curated ritual goods boutique features handcrafted bath + body care, aromatherapy, candles, crystals, journals, and esoteric books and tools to support your personal rituals and everyday well-being.

✨ At Ritual + Root, we believe in community, connection, and the power of creativity and holistic practice to bring more meaning, balance, and magic into everyday life.
