Meet the faces behind our Body & Food Liberation Program 🤍

We’re proud to bring together a multidisciplinary team of practitioners dedicated to challenging oppressive narratives surrounding food and body image, while creating space for BIPOC women to reconnect with themselves, their cultural identities, and their ancestral wisdom, reclaiming autonomy over their bodies and healing journeys.

Together, our team brings expertise in eating disorder recovery, trauma-informed care, nutrition, liberation psychology, somatic practices, yoga, and sound healing, with a shared commitment to culturally responsive care.

Our facilitators bring a wealth of knowledge, lived experience, and compassion to this six-week program, creating a space where healing, connection, and liberation can coexist.

Our founding cohort begins October 26th, and enrollment is now open!

Scholarship-supported spaces and payment plans are available.

Enrollment is officially open for the founding cohort of Rooh’s Body & Food Liberation Program. 🤍

This six-week, in-person experience was created for BIPOC women and femmes who want to explore and transform their relationships with food, body, culture, ancestry, and liberation in a space rooted in care, community, and embodied healing.

Beginning October 26, we’ll gather twice a week for psychoeducational support with an eating disorder therapist, registered dietitian, and Rooh’s founder, alongside weekly yoga, sound healing, and additional specialty workshops and healing experiences throughout the cohort.

The founding cohort is intentionally limited to 10 participants so the space can remain intentional and supported.

Flexible payment plans are available, and two fully scholarship-supported spaces are being offered for community members who may not otherwise be able to participate. Scholarship requests will remain confidential.

October 26–December 2, 2026
Mondays + Wednesdays | 6:00–8:45 PM
Rooh Sanctuary | Santa Monica

Enrollment is now open. Visit RoohSanctuary.org to learn more and register. by @roohsanctuary

Body image is never just about the body.

It can hold family, culture, trauma, belonging, racism, gender roles, colonial beauty standards, survival, and the messages we inherit long before we know how to question them.

For many of us, healing our relationship with food and our bodies means looking beyond individual “body image issues” and asking a deeper question: what taught us to feel unsafe, unacceptable, too much, or not enough in the first place?

This is the work of body and food liberation.

Our founding Body & Food Liberation cohort launches this fall at Rooh Sanctuary. The waitlist is now open. 🌿

VI — The Lovers ✦ Arcana 6

A reminder that love is not only something we find, it is something we choose. Connection, devotion, tenderness, and the courage to meet one another exactly where we are. 🌊🤍

The Lovers reminds us that some of the deepest love we experience is found in friendship, sisterhood, and the relationship we build with ourselves. In the people who stand beside us, make space for us, and remind us who we are.

Some of the greatest love stories of our lives are not romantic at all. They are the friendships that carry us, the women who grow alongside us, and the love we learn to give ourselves.

There is so much love in a life when we learn to recognize all the ways it arrives.

Rooh Sanctuary is expanding the practitioner team for our Body & Food Liberation Program this fall. 🌿

We’re looking for practitioners whose work is grounded in liberation theory, a decolonial lens, and an understanding of how culture, oppression, trauma, identity, and lived experience shape our relationships with food and our bodies.

For our eating disorder therapist and registered dietitian roles, we’re specifically seeking practitioners who are HAES-aligned, weight-inclusive, and experienced in eating disorder care.

We’re especially interested in femmes/women of color whose work feels aligned with Rooh’s approach to collective healing and liberation.

Some positions for our October cohort have already been filled, but we’re still welcoming applications for future cohorts as the program grows. 🤍

🌈✨ Our first annual South Asian Pride Market was pure magic.

Thank you to every vendor, performer, volunteer, community member, and supporter who helped bring this gathering to life. What began as a dream became an afternoon filled with connection, joy, art, music, and celebration.

An evening rooted in movement, community, and care 🤍

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Rooh for this beautiful fundraiser in support of @faizahforla

It meant so much to gather in community for a candidate whose values align so deeply with justice, care, and collective wellbeing.

Grateful to our incredible facilitators who helped create such a grounding, restorative experience, and to every person who showed up, moved with us, donated, and helped make the evening what it was ✨

Community care is political. Healing is political. Coming together like this matters.

Thank you for trusting Rooh to hold this space 🤍
