THE WISDOM OF THE
WILLOW
Have you ever seen a willow tree? Its leaves flow gracefully through the air, swaying gently in the breeze, free to dance and move as they please.
It's beautiful.
But did you know that its roots are strong, even described as tenacious? In fact, Wikipedia eloquently describes the roots of a willow tree as "remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to live." This beautiful, dancing tree is rooted, persistent, determined, steadfast and firm.
And that's what we want for each of you.
To be rooted. To be strong. To be free.
BE ROOTED

I want to live with purpose, for my life to have meaning. Discovering my values gave me the roots I needed to make better life decisions.
BE STRONG

Strength isn’t always flashy or visibly noticeable. My inner strength is quiet but fierce.
BE FREE

I got my sparkle back. -EMDR therapy client
BE STRONG

Being told I was strong changed my narrative. I began looking at my life and my body with respect - look what I’ve accomplished and survived!
BE ROOTED

Being aware of what my body is feeling keeps me grounded when anxiety tries to take over.
BE FREE

I laughed yesterday, and it was a laugh full of happiness and abandon. I felt free to be happy again.
