Where Stories Take Root,
Voices Rise, and
What’s Next Begins
Roots & Branches, the Live Experience is a CHAC Pathways to Wellness annual event that brings together community, conversation, and holistic growth in an elevated, intentional setting.
Centered around Season 1 of the Bloom TV Roots & Branches podcast, attendees can look forward to a powerful panel discussion, keynote presentation, and curated community experience designed to honor personal growth and inspire what comes next.
Rooted in the experiences of women and open to all, this event is a living expression of CHAC’s mission of GROWTH, CONNECTION, VISIBILITY & ALIGNED EVOLUTION.
The CHAC Pathways to Wellness Autumn Gathering, featuring Roots & Branches: The Bloom Experience, is a space where stories are honored, voices are elevated, and what’s next begins to take shape.
It is both a closing chapter and an opening doorway—where community, conversation, and expansion come together in one shared experience.
