Welcome…
Root & Rise is back on April 24th with all new bells and whistles!
This time round we’re taking things slooooow…
Root & Rise is such an epic journey and I want you to feel fully immersed in each step along the way.
That’s why this live round will be a three month deep-dive journey (instead of five weeks).
You get all the empowering goodness of the original programme with added extras, like weekly stand-alone recorded visualisations and affirmations, plus suggested exercises to deepen your experience.
And so much more spaaaaaaace.
So…
If you desperately want to make positive change in the world but you don’t yet believe you have the power, skills or influence to do so, keep reading.
If you want to make positive change in the world and you DO believe you have the power, skills and influence but don’t know what YOU personally can do, keep reading.
If you’re already using your power, skills and influence to make positive change in the world, but keep burning out, keep reading .
And if you’re a power-hungry capitalist, using your influence to bleed people and planet dry – hang around, you might just learn something…

You are invited on an incredible online journey for souls who are ready to root into the earth, rise into their unique calling and play their part in the co-creation of a better world.
You can expect thirteen weeks of guided recordings that bring you into connection with yourself and the rest of nature. Plus intimate 1-1 support chats with me on four dates throughout the journey.
Including insightful visualisations, writing prompts and embodiment exercises, woven together by a creative eco-psychotherapist who has walked this path (and still is).
As we spiral within to embrace our true selves, we rise.
As we root ourselves in the rest of nature, we rise.
As we reclaim our power and embody our calling, we rise.
And as we rise, we raise a new world with us.
You’re here because you know a fairer, life-sustaining world is sorely needed right now
The systems we live in are not fit for purpose.
Prioritising economic growth over wellbeing is destructive, divisive and unsustainable.
We humans have lost connection with what truly matters.
We have become detached from ourselves, the welcome and warmth of community, and the earth.
To see this truth is a lonely thing.
Yet to feel anxiety, fear and despair as a result is healthy and necessary.
It is the rallying cry of the earth calling us to meaningful action.
We all have a vital role to play in the healing and transformation of our world.
We are all different. We are all unique. And the gifts we offer the world reflect that.
When we weave those offerings together, magic happens.
What we need most of all right now is to remember who we are. As humans. As members of the whole earth community. As nature itself.
It’s time to break free from who we are told we should be, by a toxic system in its death throes that threatens to take us all down with it.
It’s time to rise up into who we were born to be. And to raise a new world with us.
We need everyone to be a part of this transformation in their own way
Introducing Root & Rise
This programme is about recognising your eco-anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, paralysis – whatever it is you’re feeling – as a healthy response to the unravelling of our world. And not just healthy, necessary too. Rather than suppress, avoid or medicate your emotions (although I believe there can be a time for all of these things) hear them as the cries of the world calling you to action.
You are being summoned to rise up and contribute to the wellbeing of the planet
I will guide you on a spiralling journey of self-discovery that invites in the vital work of reconnection; healing the great rift in our souls that has separated us from the rest of nature, and our true nature. A disconnection that is leading to the destruction of our world.
Throughout Root & Rise you will weave the threads of who you are within this magical, interconnected web of life on earth, and the part you are being called upon to play.
Each bite-sized, heart-centred session is skilfully crafted to nurture the seed within you, so you can root into your true calling and trust that the shoots that grow from this sacred place will be resilient, powerful and deeply connected to you and the whole earth community you belong to.
But perhaps it’s best described by someone who has walked the journey before…
“This programme has the potential to change the course of your life. If you’re feeling stuck, helpless or numb about the climate crisis and know you want to play a part in helping change things but have no idea what exactly that part is, Lisa Harmer’s smart, sensitive and imaginative guidance will help you figure it out. I have ended the course clearly visualising the direction I was always meant to go, but couldn’t see. It is reassuring to know that there are paths you can take through what is happening in our world, that can empower you to not only help steer our collective journey, but also thrive while doing it.”
~ Clare Saxon-Ghauri ~
Waking up to the crises in the world hurts
When I became aware of how urgent the climate crisis was I was propelled into action by my fear and anxiety. I did everything I could think of to turn things about – protesting, petitioning friends and family (and random people in the post office queue…) I recycled religiously, stopped flying. I couldn’t say ‘no’ to anything, the guilt was too much. My children, faces full of innocence, looked up at me and all I could think was “I have to do everything in my power to protect you”. And so I kept going.
“The times are urgent, let us slow down”.
Bayo Akomolafe
It took me a good while of burning myself out before I realised that a deeper level of activism was needed. Leaping straight from anxiety to action leaves a huge gulf preventing us from being fully connected to who we are and what we are doing.
Action is good, it is necessary. AND it needs to be rooted in something substantial
Slowing down and creating space to feel into what was happening for me was an incredibly vulnerable process. It also saved me. I was able to tap into my creative power, my intuition, to re-weave the threads of who I am in this wonderful interconnected world, and equip myself to face the mess we’re in with roots deep in the earth and my heart wide open.
I’ve drawn deeply from this well in the crafting of this programme as well as my humbling experience as a creative eco-psychotherapist and soulful mentor to people like you who so desperately want to feel like they’re making a difference in the world.
Everything is included that you need to thrive
Thirteen weeks of lovingly-crafted exercises
Each week you’ll receive one or two guided audio sessions that invite you to open your heart, reconnect with who you are, and step a little closer to the unique contribution you’re being called to.
In every session we begin by coming into connection, then I’ll walk you through a combination of insightful writing prompts, embodied exercises and expansive visualisations.
(Pst…Root & Rise began its life as a shorter journey of twenty-four daily recordings. I’ve carefully arranged these same sessions over thirteen weeks to give you a better experience, which is why most weeks you’ll receive two and occasionally, one.)
Here are the steps of your magical journey…
Week 1: Putting Down Roots The first week is all about slowing down and getting clear on why you’re here and what might sabotage your journey
Week 2: Leaning into Love & Intention Ready your heart for the journey head and root yourself in your personal intentions.
Week 3: Letting our Hearts Break Open Love opens our hearts, as does grief. This week we feel into the pain of the world.
Week 4: Releasing Ourselves into Belonging From grief we move into forgiveness, healing our disconnection from the earth and remembering our way home.
Week 5: Opening our Hearts in Compassion Rooted in our interconnectedness with all life, we lean into empathy and understanding as a powerful tool for change.
Week 6: Restoring the Ancestors This week we journey back through the generations to seek the wisdom of those who came before us, the threads of who we are.
Week 7: Breathing Space into the Journey You are invited to embrace stillness and spaciousness, allowing the transformation so far to take root and giving space for any insights to arise.
Week 8: Being Good Ancestors This week we begin to untangle from who we were told we should be, rooting more deeply in our Good Ancestors selves.
Week 9: Igniting our Passion & Power We deepen our sense of self and the unique gifts we were always meant to offer the world.
Week 10: Crafting a Soulful Vision for the World Having faced the pain of the world, we now visualise the world we want to see.
Week 11: Following our Callings This week we delve deeper into our individual contribution to the creation of a better world and free up some energy so we can give it more focus.
Week 12: Sustaining Energy & Motivation Having put down roots in our purpose, we explore what might sabotage our efforts and what will support the journey ahead.
Week 13: Making our Solemn Commitments to the Earth… and Celebrating! I guide us through a sacred ritual, we channel Gaia, and then we dance! (By this point you’ll be feeling pretty darn awesome).
Everything is wrapped up in a bow – all you need to do is show up
I know how hard it can be to make space for this necessary work even though you likely share my view that connection is a truly radical act in a world torn apart.
But it’s hard to untangle from the go go go system long enough to create space for yourself.
And when you finally do you have the added stress of figuring out how best to use this precious time, inevitably leading to a big faff where you end up scrolling through Instagram because, in the process of finding that meditation you’d saved for later, you forgot what you were doing in the first place.
Sound familiar?
So to help, I have packaged this amazing journey into twenty minute (max) recorded sessions that you can easily fit into your week.
Your very own podcast & membership area
Hopefully the message has gotten across that this programme is designed to be easily achievable, even when you have lots else going on (yes, even the mums among you! In fact this is created with you in mind).
All you need to do is prioritise some me-time, I’ll do the rest.
To make these powerful bite-sized sessions super-doable, I have recorded every one so all you need to do is hit play and follow along.
Don’t listen to podcasts? Don’t worry!
I’ll give you step-by-step instructions of how to set everything up. It’s really simple.
You’ll also have access to everything on my membership platform, so if podcasts really aren’t your thing you don’t have to use them. Easy-peasy.
And that’s not all you get! Join Root & Rise and receive these amazing bonuses…
Four days of 1-1 support from me via the Voxer app
I could write a whole page about how much I love Voxer! For your sake, I’ll try to be brief…
This free text and voice message app (which is similar to Whatsapp) gives us a way to have a long, slow, intimate conversation without being bound by time.
I’ll be available for the whole day 9-5 (UK time) so you can come and chat with me when it suits you, fitting it in around other things you’ve got going on.
It’s a great opportunity to share and process where you’re at on your journey. It’s amazing what can happen when you start speaking things out loud. So often mentoring clients will talk their way to clarity and understanding in the Voxer app. I’ll be there to listen, support and guide as much or as little as you like.
It’s important to note that everyone on the Root & Rise journey will be invited to these Voxer Days and I will be sharing my time between you all.
Weekly visualisations, affirmations and bonus exercises
When I first created Root & Rise, one of my big wishes for journeyers was that they could take twenty minutes a day that were just for them to reconnect with themselves and the rest of nature and tap into their awesome intuition and creativity.
It’s why in the first version of the programme the recordings were sent daily (except for on weekends). But I realised that this epic journey needed more space so people could immerse themselves in each week and go deeper with the themes, which is why the magic is now spread out over thirteen weeks instead of five.
But I still want you to be able to experience that daily connection!
So…. in addition to the one or two weekly recorded sessions that form the steps in your Root & Rise journey, you will also have access to…
- Weekly stand-alone meditations/visualisations So you can get your daily hit of connection or use them as often as you like to help you remain deeply rooted throughout the journey and beyond.
- Recorded affirmations that tie in with each weekly theme The perfect way to reinforce the shifts that are happening within you and deepen the journey.
- Bonus weekly activities You can take the transformative journey even further with these creative suggestions for expanding the theme beyond the recordings.
All this, and you also get lifetime access
Whether you have just become aware of the crises we face, if you already have an inkling about the part you play, or even if you have a project up and running – this programme has something to offer you. Because your beautiful unfolding never ends, and you can always spiral deeper;
- untangling yourself from the unhealthy systems we live within.
- reclaiming lost parts of yourself that are desperate to shine.
- easing yourself deeper into the warm embrace of connection, to a place of the heart, the soul and the rest of nature. A place from which authentic action is possible.
It’s why, when you invest in Root & Rise, you get access for life. Because I know from experience how nourishing and necessary it is to return to this core process time and time again. So you get access to the recordings forever PLUS when I run the live programme, you can join in for no extra cost.
Things that can happen when you come into connection and follow your unique calling
Things I’ve personally done;
- Come to a place of acceptance with our unknown future.
- Found a balance between earth-care and self-care so I’m not burning out and I can continue to care for my children and nurture other relationships in my life.
- I have come home, remembering that I belong to the rest of nature.
- Significantly reduced the amount of guilt I feel for the world and how we’re leaving it for the next generation.
- Cultivated a deep sense of community with other women who are awakening to the crises in the world. This has been genuinely life-changing! Not just because of the support I feel, but because I’m part of something so much bigger than myself. I know I am one thread in a beautiful tapestry in the making.
- Channelled my precious energy by saying ‘yes’ only to the things that align with my calling and the impact I can have, freeing up time and energy for other important things like being with my family.
- Remembered my way into my heart, and reclaimed it as a guiding compass in my life.
- Crafted a business rooted in my personal calling which is deeply humbling, brings me great satisfaction and that I know is contributing to the co-creation of a better world (as well as paying the bills).
- Deepened my sense of immediate community and helped to strengthen local resilience.
- Inspired a wave of women who will in turn send ripples out into our world. Brave, courageous souls with hearts on fire, making a difference wherever they are.
Things you could do;
- All the above, plus;
- Believe, with full confidence, that you can make a deeply meaningful difference in our world and be clearer on what your personal contribution is.
- Untangle from who you were told you should be and put down roots in who you were born to be, ready to rise up into your calling.
- Seed a project that is aligned with your passion and power AND contributes to the wellbeing of the world.
- Feel more able to emotionally navigate the crises we face, leaning into the unknown with greater acceptance and grace.

- You are already taking meaningful action and want to deepen your connection and get more aligned with your calling.
- You are in a perpetual cycle of taking action and burning out.
- You struggle with the uncertainty of the future.
- You feel you might be acting from your head, not your heart.
- You can find it hard to connect with the rest of nature because you feel so guilty for what humans have done.

- You’re not committed to doing the work. Check in with yourself – is this your time? Will you make the space you need? Are you ready to prioritise yourself and make this work in your life?
- You want to stay in your head. This programme invites you back into your heart and body, into feeling. It will likely be uncomfortable at times, definitely vulnerable.
- You are not open to working creatively.
- You feel like you’ve done it all already. You may have done some of these exercises before, but the beauty of this work is that it takes you deeper each time, revealing new paths along the way. You need to be open to finding things you haven’t before.
