Root Living is a short story / mythical memoir that tells the tale of Rose Bluehaven’s fall to the underworld, to the unseen, to that which transformed her inside out. It’s an invitation to remember the wisdom of roots: to slow down, listen deeply, and connect with ourselves & the living world directly through our bodies—not filtered through Mind-Ideas.
You can read the full story here: Root Living – PDF
Or, you can print this Booklet PDF, fold it into a booklet, to hold in your hands and read on paper: Root Living – Booklet (PDF)
(Simply print double-sided, and select “flip on short edge.” That file is formatted especially for a booklet, with blank pages in all the right spaces. It takes 23 pieces of letter-size paper.)
[I am doing one limited print of this booklet at my local library. If you’d like a physical booklet mailed to you, please send $20 to @RebeccaRoots via Venmo with the words “Root Living zine” and email your mailing address by June 12, 2026.]

The Root Living Journals
The Root Living journals are actual entries from 2019-2025, moment-by-moment lived accounts of what it felt like in my body to experience first grief, but in December of 2020, something much different with the sudden sensitivities and tears. Many entries were written as part of the Loam.
I’m sharing one season per week here via Buttondown (newsletter) beginning June, 2026. If you want to walk alongside a transformational journey, a spiritual awakening, a Dark Night of the Soul, you may enjoy these.
