Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on 2/22/2026, YOLOVIVI Rooted Wellness Collective was created to honor and share the art of spiritual healing. Rooted in ancestral traditions of African-American Rootwork, yolovivi weaves somatic practices, energy work, and natural elements into experiences that support harmony of body and spirit.

The name "yolovivi" carries its own blessing:

YOLO, “You Only Live Once,” joined with the African word Lovivivi, meaning “love is sweet and ever-present”—invites a life lived with intention, compassion, and connection.

Our mission is to provide accessible, culturally responsive, trauma-informed wellness education and community programs that promote emotional regulation, mindfulness, grounding, resilience, and holistic well-being. We additionally serve the public through educational workshops, outreach, and supportive resources that strengthen community health, safety, compassion, and connection while empowering individuals with practical skills that support long-term wellbeing and self-reliance.

We believe sustainable growth comes from strong roots— community, compassion, and connection.
