Rooted Minds
How Plants Support Calm and Emotional Balance
Rooted Minds is a workshop on emotional regulation and attention, guided by plants. It looks at how everyday herbs and green spaces can become tools for finding balance in a world of constant input. Participants learn how plants can anchor focus, reduce fatigue, and offer practical ways to create calm.
The sessions connect neuroscience with practice. From the role of the reticular activating system in attention to the soothing effect of familiar plants like rosemary, sage, or linden, participants explore how science, awareness, and meaning work together. The workshops are about creating green oases, both in the city and in the mind.
Managing Daily Stress and Digital Fatigue

This workshop offers an accessible path to wellbeing through presence and awareness, using plants as companions in finding calm.
