“Nothing feeds cancer or any other disease like a sense of hopelessness, because when we’re hopeless, we stop trying.”
At Root 2 Leaf, we are rooting for you and want everyone to feel supported in the cancer journey.
Guests can choose up to 2 group and 2 individual COMPLIMENTARY add-on’s for their stay at our Sanctuary.
YOU CHOOSE!
Sunset/Sunrise Boat Cruise
Take a stroll up and down the Mighty Mississippi! Allow the energy of the calm water to bring you peace. Bring the sights of the majestic bluffs and glorious sunrise or sunset into your perspective. Be humbled by the natural wildlife of soaring eagles & blue herons. (Please note, guests will need to provide transportation to and from the boat landing.)
Haircut Freshen Up
Something about a fresh cut that makes someone feel so much better. If you need a trim, we would be happy to help you out.
Yoga-Meditation-Sound Healing
Allow yourself to focus inward. Engaging in these mind-body practices allows people to seek calm. These practices help people slow down. They help people slow down, bring awareness to the moment, and prepare our bodies for a more restful night of sleep.
Massage Chair Therapy
Listening to your needs, we will provide you with a chair massage in a safe, quiet environment at our Sanctuary. This will allow your mind to relax while your body receives a nurturing hug.
Walk & Talk
Sometimes we need that extra push to get out and go for a walk. Our Sanctuary is located along a 26-mile crushed limestone trail. Root 2 Leaf will provide a walking buddy for a refreshing 30 min outdoor walk. You choose the pace and the distance!
Planting Hope
When your life feels untethered, sinking your hands into black soil can give you a momentary sense of grounding. Planting flower, herb, or vegetable seeds can lift your spirits long after you leave the sanctuary as you watch something you create grow.
Memory Photo
Moments are cherished, and we want to help you all hold onto your priceless love forever with a simple photo from a professional photographer.
Art Therapy
Tap into your creative side! From creating something in our woodshop to designing crafts using the elements of nature, we have something that may help bring mental clarity through your expression of art.
Un-beet-able Dish
Cooking healthy does not have to be expensive or extra time-consuming. Learn how to cook a healthy, sustaining dish. Enjoy the fruits of your labor by nourishing yourself after you complete your dish.
Social Coffee Mate
At Root 2 Leaf, we want you to know you are not alone or isolated on your cancer journey. Without shame or stigma, our R2L coffee mate will offer you companionship in a non-judgmental way, accompanied by an awesome cup of coffee.
Qigong
Enjoy the beautiful moving meditation of the traditional Chinese practice Qigong (pronounced “chi-gong”). You will be guided through specific postures through slow, gentle movement to help activate your Qi (energy).
