Join host Rohini Walker into an exploration of sacred attention as a valuable resource and life-affirming offering. In a world consumed by distraction and speed, our attention has become commodified, fragmented, and pulled in countless directions. What happens when we reclaim it? When we slow down enough to offer our presence as an act of devotion, of relationship, of reciprocity?

Rohini explores the idea that attention is not only a sacred resource but also a portal - into connection, aliveness, and the animist understanding that we are in relationship with all things. She unpacks the somatic effects of fragmented attention, the difference between “getting” and “receiving,” and how the simple and foundational act of pausing can repair and reweave the threads of our inner and outer worlds.

This episode is an invitation to consciously wield your attention with care and reverence, and to experience how doing so can open up space for healing, integration, and transformation. It’s about returning to a more relational, soulful way of being, where our presence is both an offering and a receiving.

In this episode of Root + Rise, host Rohini Walker explores the liberating power of aligning with your authentic, soul-rooted values — the kind that often ask you to step beyond cultural conditioning, familial expectations, and the comfort of approval.

Our true values, like everything in Nature, are alive and evolving. When we choose to live in alignment with them, we’re not just “being true to ourselves” — we’re participating in a larger, sacred act of soul reclamation. We begin to heal the deep rupture of self-alienation that the dominant culture depends on.

Rohini shares how our values can act as portals to the soul — grounding us in our essence, clarifying our intuition, and resourcing us from within. You’ll also get a deeper look into her online membership space, Root + Rise, and the values of biodiversity and liberation that guide its community culture.

This is an episode about sovereignty, decolonization, and the radical act of living a life that flows from the truth of who you really are — not who you’ve been told to be.

✨ Summer enrollment for Root + Rise the membership space is open until midnight PST on June 30th. Find out more here: https://www.rohiniwalker.com/root-rise

In this episode of Root + Rise, we explore animism — not as an abstract concept, but as a living, embodied worldview rooted in relationship. Animism teaches that all life, all phenomena, are ensouled and conscious — from planets and plants to our organs, emotions, and symptoms.

Rohini Walker shares how this ancient, earth-honoring perspective is not only central to Indigenous and ancestral traditions across the globe, but also offers a powerful antidote to the disconnection, fragmentation, and spiritual wounding of modern life. We look at how symptoms can become messengers, how the wisdom of the body speaks in sensation, and how deep listening can begin the work of soul-body re-membering.

This is a call to return — to wholeness, to reverence, to the rhythmic stream of life that runs through all things.

And if you're interested in diving deeper through re-storying your life with embodied imagination, summer enrollment to Rohini's membership space, Root + Rise is open through midnight PST on June 30th.
