The 90-minute evening moves attendees out of that state through the senses:
Welcome Circle — Arrival, settling in, a moment of grounding together before anything begins.
Vagus Nerve Teaching, Humming & Breathwork — A quick, accessible teaching on the vagus nerve and why regulation starts here, paired with prana, the ayurvedic concept of breath as life force, moving through the body via guided humming and breathwork, including bhramari, the ayurvedic "bee breath," to bring the nervous system out of fight-or-flight.
Somatic Movement — A shake-out to move stuck energy and remind the body it's allowed to feel good.
Tea Ritual — A warm, grounding tea built on ayurvedic herbs, restoring ojas, the body's vital reserve, after a day spent depleting it. We're exploring CCFT to our evening.
Set It Down — Writing on a stone what they're ready to release, and setting it down.
Flower Arrangement — A hands-on, choose-by-feel flower ritual; each participant builds an arrangement to take home.
Closing Circle — A small, warm close, and the feeling of being truly seen.
Everyone leaves with a journal, a flower arrangement they made themselves, and a simple reset they can return to anytime.

Jenn Smukler
Jenn Smukler is a Professional Speaker, Holistic Health Coach, and the founder of alive unlocked. Her work is dedicated to one idea: the co-existence of ambition and wellbeing. Stress isn't a wave, it's an undertow. It pulls quietly until you're too far out to swim back. Jenn knows this firsthand. Two decades in corporate, an immigrant determined to prove it was worth it, she was the fixer everyone counted on, nominated for performance awards while quietly running on empty, no longer able to sleep or recognize her own body. What she needed then, and now builds her work around, is how to get calm enough in the body to hear yourself think again. She trained at the IIN, became a certified Holistic Health Coach, and created the ALIVE Method — food, movement, sleep, and mindset treated as one connected system, all in service of getting still enough to see yourself again. At Root & Bloom, Jenn brings that same philosophy into the room: somatic tools, breathwork, and an ayurvedic tea ritual designed to settle an overworked nervous system and reconnect you to your own sense of calm. Science-backed, deeply human, and fueled by what she calls her Jennergy. This is a space to put something down, not add one more thing to carry. When she's not speaking or coaching, you'll find Jenn in Hermosa Beach with her family and dog Churro, chasing an ocean dip or a new recipe between meetings.
