Welcome to Root Inward. I’m so excited to share with you the brand that is slowly crafted by me, Meredith White. While the name of the newsletter has changed, the content remains consistent with art, process, spirit, and reckoning.
I’ve been working at the intersection of art and embodiment since 2015 and now have a beautiful place where every facet of this work lives under one roof. Root Inward orients around objects, design, and practices of care as tools for looking inward. The name allows me to carry more autonomy in my practice and my work.
The studio provides a bi-monthly newsletter and tarot services as direct and consistent care. This work has shown up through the creation of billboards, scarves, quilts, woodcuts, tees, and illustrative services. Some of these clients include: HBO’s Betty, The New Yorker, Atlanta Hawks, Living Walls, Heineken, Treehouse Kid & Craft, Atlanta United, and VISA.
Tarot readings allow me to show up in a container dedicated to my spiritual practice that is individually crafted for each client. These private, online sessions provide safe spaces for all bodies to leave with validation, embodied support, and clarity. No tarot experience is needed from the client in order for this offering to remain potent.
I am Reiki II certified with Dr. Amy King and have been practicing with tarot for over 8 years. This practice is trauma-informed and supplemented by the work of my lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent practitioner. I have dedicated hundreds of hours of research to this practice and learned from practitioners like Jessica Dore, Jessamyn Stanley, and Sarah Faith Gottesdiener.
A percentage of these services goes back to the land in support of Defend the Atlanta Forest.
The shop is currently dedicated to clothes as aids in embodiment. This is a space where additional items will be made that allow for setting deeper intention and for *rooting inward*. The Slow Tee is shown below as a mid-weight, gender fluid tee that allows us to move with more ease.
All of the reckonings of the last few years have allowed me to come into my body and practice with greater conviction. It’s required me to get really clear about who has access to my work and who has access to me.
The world wanted me to take my time and learn some incredibly valuable lessons along the way. I’ve come to understand that my magic is meant to be shared more freely, so that is what this studio is for.
Root Inward is now the umbrella that all of my offerings live under. My beautiful new work, newsletter, collaborations, and tarot offerings reside within the bounds of rootinwardstudio on IG. This allows me more space in my practice, greater clarity, and orienting back towards taking on clients and expansion.
With Love and Care,
Huzzah!
FUCK. YES. 🔥
