Help Us Grow A Sanctuary For Healing, Creativity & Community
“One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.”
— bell hooks
In a world that feels more disconnected than ever, we are creating a sanctuary where true connection and creative resonance can take root.
We have established Roots and Rays Center for Creative Medicine, 501(c)(3)- the nonprofit arm of Roots and Rays Creative Counseling. The home for this entity is a healing space and creative arts studio. An intentional, welcoming sanctuary where people can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the rhythms of the natural world.
We have been building this space over the span of the past several years, and need the help of our community to cross the finish line!
First, there was a vision, then a foundation, today we are so close, but we need your help!

Your Contribution Directly Supports:
The final phase of the buildout of our trauma-informed studio and healing garden
Tools and materials for expressive arts and trauma care

There are several ways you can plant your intention for healing:
Seed Sower $150
Plant the first seeds of healing by sponsoring a serviceberry tree in our grove and other native pollinator-friendly plants in our restorative garden. With this gift, you both symbolically plant a seed—an intention, a quiet prayer for someone’s healing to begin, and literally help us cultivate our garden. Sponsor a tree in your name or a loved one.
Roots Patron $300
Lay down the roots that support sanctuary. Support the unseen structure beneath our collective flourishing. With your contribution of $300 or more to infrastructure and programming, you will receive an invite to our Preview Garden Party.
Your gift says: “May this place become a sanctuary for all who enter.”
Creative Spark Bearer $500+
Fuel the fire of creativity and transformation by supporting our wood-fired kiln and other trauma-informed arts programs. Like fire in the kiln, your gift fuels the transformation of pain into beauty and expression into healing. Your gift of $500+ ensures an invite to our Preview Garden Party and a spot at our inaugural kiln firing!
Your gift says: “I believe in the alchemy of healing—where art becomes medicine.”
Sanctuary Sustainer $2,000+
Hold Open the Gate. Fund therapeutic sponsorships and ensure care is available to those who need it most. Your gift symbolically holds the gate open for those who have been shut out by systemic barriers. Your gift includes an invitation to our Preview Garden Party, and a plaque with your name on the entrance to The Center for Creative Medicine.
Visionary Ray $5,000+
Light the Way Forward. Illuminate the future. Support our full studio buildout, ongoing program development, and long-term access to care. Your gift is a beam of possibility. You illuminate our collective future and help us build toward it. Your contribution of $5000 or more ensures an invite to our Preview Garden Party, a plaque with your name at the entrance of the Center for Creative Medicine, and a Private Art Making Studio experience for you and 6 friends at The Center for Creative Medicine.
Your gift says: “I see the future—and I’m helping to build it.”
Be Part of What We’re Growing.
Every gift is a step toward healing and belonging.
Contributions of $300+ include an invitation to our Preview Garden Party this Autumn and all donations are tax-deductible.
If you are moved by this vision but unable to give at this time, we’d be so grateful if you would consider sharing our campaign within your network. Healing is collective work — and we cannot do this alone.
Whether you’re moved by creative expression, community mental health, or making space for care—thank you for being part of this journey.
With gratitude, The Roots & Rays Team
Rooted in healing. Growing in community. Grounded in care.
