Welcome to Deepening Roots
Deepening Roots, Inc. was born from the retreat “A Time to Deepen” held at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in April 2025. It was from here that we decided to create a non-profit in support of our daily needs through ongoing meetings via zoom, as well as an in-person gathering annually.
We would love your monthly support as a “Seed Sower” which will help fund and expand our Vision and Mission.

New Learning Curves – At Any Age – Yes You Can!
With Charles & Special Guest Diana von Welanetz Wentworth
Diana von Welanetz Wentworth is the New York Times bestselling author of fourteen books, including Chicken Soup for the Soul Cookbook. In 1985, she co-founded The Inside Edge, a beloved Southern California weekly thought leadership breakfast forum in three cities that ran for nearly forty years and luminaries such as Jack Canfield, Louise Hay, and Dr. Susan Jeffers among the members. She is also the founder of a love letters movement, an invitation to the world to write and share letters of the heart.
Now, at eighty-five, Diana says she is living the happiest chapter of her life. She speaks and writes about seeing our days, our objects, and our relationships as a work of art in progress, always ready to be curated with new eyes.
Check this mini video of Diana – in a Divine observance of her life journey:
Join us – in a spirited discussion on aging – and the magic that can still be in our lives when we are willing to keep on expanding with new learning curves!
“At 84, I’ve come to believe that every day offers another chance to learn something new. The learning curve may be a little steeper now, but the view from the journey is richer than ever.”
– Charles

Annual Retreat
Our Annual Retreat is ongoing. Use the navigation links for registration details, our Keynotes, Presenters, and Music.
This spiritual retreat provides a communal setting with shared meals and enriching experiences. The purpose of this gathering is to create and explore the tenants embraced in a beloved community, working together in value and regard for one another.
The program content includes physical, emotional, and spiritual components. In a field of safety and respect we will each reimagine, redefine, and realign into a fuller expression of life from our remembrance of our one source. From various fields of study our keynote speakers and presenters will be sharing on the importance of how our words, deeds, and actions impact not only on a personal level but upon generations forward. These are in-depth retreats where there is rich potential for enduring transformation, renewed joy, and the valuing of self and all one has to offer.
