WELCOME TO Roots & Wings 

ROOTS & WINGS is located on 160 acres just minutes from Olympia's Westside. We celebrate creation through a study of the natural world and human nature. With a lodge, organic garden, farm, orchard, ponds, labyrinth, glass atrium and 5 acre lake it is a unique and beautiful landscape. Explore arts, crafts, nature trails, yoga, gardening, plant and wildlife identification.

 

We offer art sessions, crafts, lifestyle activities and teambuilding experiences. Immerse yourself in the simplicity of nature. Whether picking berries, playing frisbee golf or painting, it is a place to go to simply be. This is about lifestyle, creating a life you love. We will explore how to establish daily practices of wellness and inspiration.

Create!

By definition, creativity is seeing things differently. It's being able to problem solve and find a visionary perspective, offering previously unseen solutions. We will explore our imagination to find new ideas, mantras and methods. By tapping into their creativity, youth will establish new habits , inspiration and find greater belief in themselves and what they have to offer the world. 

 

imagine .  believe . create

 

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
