Through shared experiences, guided conversations, meaningful community, and fun, Rooted creates connection and formation that continues beyond the weekend.
Hosted by The Garden Project, Rooted is an intentional, in-person experience for growth and real connection.
Rooted was created for young adults who want to grow in faith, pursue personal growth, and build meaningful relationships beyond surface-level conversation.
Each gathering blends shared experiences, guided conversations, and unhurried space to connect creating an environment where growth and formation can take root naturally.
What to Expect at Rooted
-
Rooted is designed to make connection feel natural and enjoyable, not awkward or forced. Each weekend includes fun, engaging experiences that help break the ice and bring people together, like a Pickleball Tournament, themed social nights (Western Night, coastal night, etc.), and relaxed spaces to meet new people. The activities may change by city, but the goal stays the same: create an environment where conversation flows easily and community forms naturally.
-
You’ll hear from inspiring speakers who understand the realities of modern dating and speak honestly about faith, formation, and relationships.
Rooted centers on becoming the right person to attract the right person, encouraging self-improvement through guided conversations and shared reflection.
-
Rooted isn’t just a great weekend. It’s meant to leave you changed. Through learning, reflection, and practical application, you’ll walk away with a clearer roadmap for becoming the person that God wants you to be. The goal isn’t just to meet someone, but to grow into someone ready to build meaningful relationships long after the event ends.
