The Roots and Wings Project is dedicated to cultivating unique creative expression in all people. We offer workshops for a range of audiences including children, young adults, women and professional artists. Workshops allow participants to identify and-or express their voice, recognize any obstacles to growth, and uncover untold stories using the power of writing and acting. Seasoned educator Jesse Bliss has extensive experience teaching in public schools, jails, universities, homeless shelters and community arts institutions.

The Roots and Wings Project Proudly is honored to bring the ROOTS TO SKY: A Workshop to Connect, Ignite and Focus Creative Force workshop to Bay Front Youth and Family Services. The classes will be taught to an integrated population of both boys and girls at a placement facility. The workshop series offers participants a unique and inspiring opportunity to nurture and cultivate Creative Force through the Theatre Arts. Participants will learn the tools of an artist through writing, acting, improvisation, and games, which will deepen understanding and compassion for themselves, their community and the surrounding world. Students will have fun while experiencing increased self-esteem, confidence and awareness. Workshops are designed to accommodate each student's social and emotional needs.

Testimonials
"Ideas may stay just that until you take one of Jesse's workshops. Her uncanny ability to create a space filled with trust and in the spirit of collaboration makes it possible for any a number of creatives to arrive with an idea and come out with a strong thesis, strategy and new friends to help you make it a reality. The confidence she projects, her strength and conviction, her genuine care with each participant translates into many magical moments throughout the session. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to move from point A to B in their work."-Evi T'Bolt, Photographer& Entrepreneur
“I am still riding high from the upliftment I received at your gentle hand and the other sisters at the workshop. I will hold that in my heart for the ages.” –Waberi Jordan, Singer
“…for me it was about the commonality of it, finding myself in a group of magnificent and talented women working their way through insecurities and life's challenges. When I realized I wasn't the only one, I had no choice but to forgive myself which in turn seems to have lifted a weight off my shoulders. I focus now on "pushing through" these challenges…I would have not gotten this far without the workshop.” Azul Parra, Photographer
