Root & Table

Support Groups by Agape Wellness Collective

Grounded in Christ.
Gathered in Communion.

What Is Root & Table?

They're not quite therapy groups, and they're not peer-led...
They're not Bible studies or book clubs, it's not coffee hour or young adult groups, not parent groups, baking groups, or hang-out groups...
But they are places that you'll get support, learn about mental health, places to meet new people, find support in the faith, have meaningful conversations, figure out more of who you are in relation to God and other people...

In short, Root & Table is a place to be Grounded in Christ and Gathered in Communion.

Root & Table is an online support space for small groups of people to have meaningful, real, and authentic conversations that you wouldn't ordinarily have outside of an intentional, set-aside space.

Each R&T group is facilitated by a trained, AWC-Affiliated, Orthodox Christian provider.

Who Should Consider Attending?

These groups are an excellent option for people who...

• Want more connection with other Orthodox Christians

• Are new to therapy

• Are concerned about the potential of stigma

• Want additional support

• May not need individual therapy

• Cannot afford the cost of traditional, individual therapy

• Do not have health insurance or have a high deductible

How Much Do Groups Cost? What Are the Requirements?

The suggested donation is $40/ meeting, but we do not want cost to be a deterrent; Root & Table groups have flexible, pick-your-price contribution options where you are able to contribute what you are able to each week, in real time, from $1 to $40. Our College Circles are always offered free of charge.

Our general ask of you is that you show up with respect for each other and for your facilitator, openness to the group and the information presented to you, and that you make a commitment to showing up for at least ~6 weeks. Your specific group and facilitator will review additional information as applicable.

Please note that Root & Table IS NOT:

Psychotherapy groups
Spiritual direction
A substitute for diagnosis or treatment
A place for debate or polemics

However, Root & Table IS:

Led by AWC-Affiliated Providers
Meant to give you tools to support your mental health
Going to connect you with others
Going to challenge you to grow
