What is Roots and Branches?
​​
​
Roots and Branches is a not-for-profit initiative by the Gurumantra Education Society, dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and nurturing educational spaces. We believe that for learning to be truly meaningful and joyful, it must support the social, emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing of every child. By integrating Dance/Movement Therapy into classrooms, we offer a powerful way for educators and professionals to support holistic development, fostering connection, expression, and wellbeing in every aspect of a child’s experience.
​
Vision
We envision learning environments that prioritize health, safety, inclusivity, and the creative growth of every child.​​​
​​​​​​​Mission
Our mission is to empower educational organizations by integrating Dance/Movement Therapy and creative movement as tools to enhance the well-being of both children and teachers, fostering healthier and more inclusive learning environments.
