I am not anti Christianity, I am anti weaponized faith. I believe you can be conservative, Republican, moderate, whatever you want to be, and still stand firmly for justice, truth, and equality. What I cannot understand is the willingness to abandon discernment in exchange for fear.

I talk about fear versus love all the time because it is the choice underneath everything we do. How we lead. How we listen. How we respond when our beliefs are challenged. Fear narrows us. Love asks us to stay present. Fear demands loyalty. Love asks for truth.

I was spoken to condescendingly and then blocked by a Christian minister I have known for many years because I refused to blindly accept a fear driven narrative, even when irrefutable evidence was placed directly in front of him about the murder of alex pretti. Watching early confident claims begin to soften as more information emerges has only deepened the grief. This is not about one conversation or one attack by ice. It is about a pattern.

When leadership is rooted in fear, everything becomes a weapon. People become enemies. Truth becomes inconvenient. Loyalty is demanded instead of integrity. That is NOT faith. That is NOT leadership. And it is terrifying when it comes from people who shape minds, communities, and congregations.

Alex Pretti feels like a line in the sand. When a nation is governed through fear, it creates a pulse beneath everything, a pressure that keeps building, and we know what happens when pressure keeps building.

This is the moment where leadership is revealed. We can continue to weaponize fear, or we can choose love and accountability. What we choose to lead with right now matters. Fear multiplies. Love steadies. And the cost of choosing wrong is already being paid in human lives. They are literally writing the history books about this moment, how will we be remembered?

This is our sixth winter at Rooted. For years, snow removal for the entire lot averaged around $150 per plow. This season, that same service has jumped to anywhere from $300 to $550 per visit.

This particular storm was devastating. Crews across the region are exhausted with no end in site, working 20 hour days to help people stay safe. In the middle of that, our contracted snow service cleared in the snow but failed to return after the ice refroze. That left us competing for emergency help in an already overwhelmed system.

To make the space safe and accessible again, we had to bring in last minute emergency removal. One storm alone pushed us into four figures. Four figures.

With recent grant cuts and my needing to prioritize my health, costs like this simply aren’t sustainable. I’m disabled and physically unable to shovel heavy snow or manage ice myself, which means keeping this space open and safe requires either reliable outside support or a different long term plan.

What we’re realizing is that relying solely on emergency plow services, especially as winters become more unpredictable, isn’t workable. We’re not trying to raise thousands of dollars. We’re trying to raise enough to purchase a snowblower that can remain on site and be strong enough to handle the large lot (it’s BIG) so we can handle most storms ourselves and avoid repeating this cycle.

This isn’t a glamorous need; it’s basic infrastructure. Safety. Access. Sustainability. For a 501(c)(3).

If you’re able to contribute toward this, donations right now are going directly toward a snow blower to help stabilize costs and keep Rooted accessible through the rest of the season. We need roughly $1500 for something big enough. If you can’t donate, maybe just share this for us?

Donate (tax deductible) venmo with note ❄️

Eternally grateful for you reading this far….thank you for helping us.

I need it this week’s recovery meeting more than ever … here’s why
Step Two is Hope.
And we do not define that as belief or optimism.

This is why each step in Rooted lasts four weeks. The body does not integrate on insight alone. It needs time to feel something different, even briefly. To test it. To resist it. To come back to it. Capacity is built slowly, through repetition and safety.

Hope here is not a promise about the future. It is a moment the nervous system senses another option. A breath that does not lock. A step that hurts without collapsing you. A flicker of possibility that passes through and leaves a trace.

If it showed up once, it exists.

That is enough to begin.

Rooted Through Recovery is somatic, nervous system based recovery. We do not rush the body. We build capacity until change can be held.

Step Two. Hope.

We’ve said this for 6 years, but it feels important to say it again out loud.

A safe space does not mean neutral.
It does not mean silent.
It does not mean accommodating harm so everyone feels comfortable.

It means we tell the truth about what we will not allow to pass through our doors, our rooms, or our community.

We are living in a time where lying is normalized, where manipulation is framed as leadership, where cruelty is excused as honesty, and where abuse is softened with language that makes it harder to name. That kind of toxicity does real damage to nervous systems, to bodies, to communities, and to people who already carry too much.

Rooted exists to interrupt that.

This is a trauma informed space.
A survivor centered space.
A space where dignity is not up for debate and harm is not reframed as misunderstanding.

You do not have to agree on everything to be here.
But you do have to agree on this:

We do not harm people and call it truth.
We do not gaslight reality.
We do not look away from abuse.

Safety is the foundation.
Always.

And we will keep choosing it, even when it costs us (and it has, a lot).

Hi. I’m Jennie Claire, founder of Rooted Holistic Center, a 501(c)(3) offering trauma informed holistic services and education and the creator and author of Rooted Through Recovery.

I created Rooted Through Recovery because I spent decades moving through addiction, trauma, dissociation, and recovery spaces that never quite fit. I didn’t need more slogans or rules. I needed recovery that understood what a nervous system shaped by trauma actually does. I needed something that acknowledged the neurobiology of trauma, addiction, and the body, and how all of it connects.

So I built what I needed.

Rooted Through Recovery is a trauma informed, nervous system based 12 step program. It’s for people who always felt a little out of place in traditional recovery. For people who knew they weren’t broken, but were stuck in survival patterns that never really got named or explainRooted Holistic Center a book.
You can get it on Amazon or at .
It’s currently being used inside multiple recovery centers as part of their program. If you work in a recovery center or support people in recovery and want to learn more, reach out.

There is also a Companion Guide coming soon. The companion guide offers depth and context to support the program, which is intentionally simple and straightforward. It goes further into trauma, the nervous system, addiction as a survival response, and what’s happening beneath behavior. It’s written both for people in recovery and for those supporting someone through the process.

In the next few months, a 365 day daily journal and somatic guide will also be released as additional supplements to the program.

We also hold Rooted meetings every Sunday, on Zoom and in person in Haddon Heights, New Jersey.

This work isn’t about fixing, it is about understanding, and creating enough safety to stay in your life without disappearing.

Come as you are. You belong here.

making the call to be zoom only this Sunday because the forecast doesn’t seem to be changing….

Rooted Through Recovery is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based recovery practice I developed after three decades of trying to heal in spaces that were never built for people like us. It’s a completely original 12-step-inspired framework designed for survivors of trauma, addiction, chronic dysregulation, and anyone who’s rebuilding a life from the inside out.

Our weekly Rooted Through Recovery meetings happen every Sunday at 10 AM, in person and on Zoom.

These aren’t traditional meetings.
There’s no hierarchy, no shame, no pressure to share, and no forcing a “one-size-fits-all” model on people whose stories are anything but simple.

Each week we explore the deeper layers of healing through nervous system science, embodiment, reflection, and community connection — honoring the truth that trauma is the root, and recovery grows from safety, self-understanding, and compassion.

If you’re looking for a place where your story isn’t minimized, where your trauma isn’t dismissed, and where your healing is honored as a whole-body, whole-life process, join us.

Rooted Through Recovery. Sundays at 10 AM.
In person and on Zoom.

Trauma is having a moment right now.
Everyone’s selling something. Everyone’s certain.

Shake it out. Scream it out. Stretch it out.
If it worked for them, it must work for you. Right?

Except bodies don’t work like that.

You can’t override neurobiology. You can’t force capacity. And pushing intensity before safety usually just creates more survival, not less.

A lot of people aren’t stuck. They’re exhausted. They’ve tried the things that were supposed to help and quietly felt worse after. We sell “healing” as a goal but the problem is how to you heal a biological vessel that is constantly changing? The target always moves. “Healing” is absolute, and I don’t prescribe to absolutes.

Some things do help. Movement can help. Sound can help. Expression can help. But only when the system underneath can actually handle it.

This is why we never market quick fixes and flashy trauma work. And why our trainings and upcoming offerings are slow, grounded, and very “unsexy.”They’re built around capacity, pacing, and nervous system education, not release theatrics.

If that sounds boring, it probably is.
If it sounds relieving, you’re probably who it’s for.

More soon.

if one of the things you have thought about for 2026 includes expanding your understanding of trauma and how it can integrate into not only your daily life but your work with others, then take a look at our offerings . this past week I’ve had quite a few questions about the 2026 training bundles, so here’s an overview of what each training focuses on and how certification works.

8 Hour Trauma Informed Living Workshop
A foundational training on how trauma shows up in daily life, relationships, and the nervous system, with practical regulation tools for real life.

8 Hour Trauma and Addiction Workshop
Explores addiction and compulsive patterns through a trauma and nervous system lens, reframing them as survival responses rather than moral failure.

20 Hour Trauma Informed Yoga Nidra Training
A neuroscience based approach to Yoga Nidra grounded in trauma physiology, brain states, dissociation, and safety.
This is the only training that offers a standalone certification when taken on its own.

6 Hour Trauma Fascia and Emotions Workshop
Examines how trauma and emotion are held in the fascia and how the body processes and releases stored experience.

4 Hour Trauma Informed Breathwork Training
Focused on safe, accessible breathwork with trauma shaped nervous systems, emphasizing pacing, choice, and regulation over intensity.

When taken individually, these offerings are trainings, not certifications, with the exception of Yoga Nidra.

When all FIVE are completed together, they form a Trauma Informed Practitioner Training through Rooted, intended for those who want a comprehensive, nervous system grounded scope of practice.

The deposit for any bundle is $200 please register for each training on square and note your bundle it in the Venmo.

This isn’t about calling anyone out. It’s about honesty.

There is nothing wrong with anatomy focused movement, philosophy driven practice, alignment based teaching, or strength based, heated, physically challenging classes. Some people want intensity. Some people want to sweat, to push, to be challenged in that way. That is valid.

The issue isn’t what you offer. It’s when what you market doesn’t match what you actually teach.

Trend driven language creates unsafe spaces. People show up expecting regulation, choice, and nervous system awareness and instead find themselves in environments that prioritize performance, endurance, or correction. Bodies adapt by overriding themselves, not because they are weak, but because belonging is powerful.

We are not everyone’s cup of tea, and we are honest about that. At Rooted, we work through a trauma informed lens because we understand what that requires. We are not here to offer heat, core burn, extreme effort, or aesthetic flow. We are here to offer choice, pacing, and safety.

Not every space is for every body. That’s not exclusion. That’s integrity.

Market what you actually teach. Let people choose what they need.

Seems like 2026 is going to be a repeat funding wise with grant money being cut for our 501(c)(3). not only do we fall into the addiction and recovery space but everything else we do is practically banned from grant writing now. This is why donations matter so incredibly much because without it I don’t think we can sustain another year.
