Deepening Roots, Inc. was born from the retreat “A Time to Deepen” held at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in April 2025. It was from here that we decided to create a non-profit in support of our daily needs through ongoing meetings via zoom, as well as an in-person gathering annually.

We would love your monthly support as a “Seed Sower” which will help fund and expand our Vision and Mission.

Our Deepening Roots Zoom Programs

Tuesday, May 12 – 4pm EDT

Dr. Lemuel Watson (Presenter) sharing on our Deepening Roots Desert Retreat 2026

From Dr. Lemuel Watson: This session invites us into the collective wisdom that emerged from the Deepening Roots Desert Retreat. The topic: “Living What We Remember: Reflections from the Deepening Roots Desert Retreat. We invite you into the shared wisdom that emerged from a space of reflection, presence, and connection.

Drawing from participant voices and planting the seed for new attendees – we will explore themes of: Inner awareness, love and forgiveness, compassionate service, the sacredness of nature, and the healing power of humor and joy.

Together, we will consider what it means not only to encounter these truths, but to live them in our daily lives—where personal healing becomes communal transformation and spiritual insight becomes embodied practice. Grounded in lived experience, this session offers a gentle invitation to remember who we are, how we are all connected, and what becomes possible when we choose to live from love. Do invite friends – it’s how we build our Deepening Roots community.

Annual Retreat

Our Annual Retreat is ongoing. Use the navigation links for registration details, our 2026 Keynotes, Presenters, and Music.

This spiritual retreat provides a communal setting with shared meals and enriching experiences. The purpose of this gathering is to create and explore the tenants embraced in a beloved community, working together in value and regard for one another.

The program content includes physical, emotional, and spiritual components. In a field of safety and respect we will each reimagine, redefine, and realign into a fuller expression of life from our remembrance of our one source. From various fields of study our keynote speakers and presenters will be sharing on the importance of how our words, deeds, and actions impact not only on a personal level but upon generations forward. These are in-depth retreats where there is rich potential for enduring transformation, renewed joy, and the valuing of self and all one has to offer.
