October can be a beautiful time of year—but it can also be when the busyness of the season really starts to set in. Between work, school routines, family responsibilities, and the approaching holiday season, it’s easy to find yourself moving from one thing to the next without taking a moment to breathe.
Slow Down Before the Holidays is a peaceful mid-fall reset at Rustic Roots—a chance to pause, reconnect with yourself, and make space for what you need before the busiest time of year arrives.
This gentle, restorative experience is designed especially for parents, educators, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of the season. Instead of waiting until the holidays are over to take care of yourself, this is your invitation to slow down now.
During the experience, you’ll be guided through a calming gratitude journaling practice designed to help you reflect on where you are, acknowledge what’s been weighing on you, and reconnect with what matters most as you move into the final months of the year.
You’ll also enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere at Rustic Roots, along with a drink of your choice—making this feel less like a traditional workshop and more like a meaningful, intentional outing.
Your ticket includes:
● A copy of the Daily Glimmers Gratitude Journal to take home
● One complimentary drink of your choice
● A guided reflection and journaling experience
● A welcoming indoor/outdoor setting so the experience is enjoyable rain or shine
Before the holiday season picks up speed, give yourself permission to pause.
Come solo for some much-needed time to yourself or bring a friend who could use a reset too—and leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and more connected to yourself.
This class is appropriate for ages 21+.
This class will take place at Rustic Roots, located at 5324 W Ridge Road, Spencerport, NY 14559.
If you would like to request a sign language interpreter, will be attending class with an aide, or have any preferences (seating, vision access, etc), please fill out our contact form.
Class ticket purchases are non-refundable for any reason. A transfer into a different class of equal or greater value may be granted if requested at least 72 hours prior to the class date. Students are always welcome to have someone attend in their place, too!
While we know this is not always ideal, as a small business this is the only way we can ensure our teachers are paid for their time and supplies and our venues are paid rent for their space. We appreciate your support!

Meet the Teacher
Sarah Shellard is the owner of Just Joyful Boutique, a small women-owned business based in Rochester, NY. Sarah is a bilingual speech-language pathologist and author of the Daily Glimmers Gratitude Journal. In her work with children, teens, and adults, she found that the basis for communication starts with self-regulation. One of the best ways to tap into self-regulation is through gratitude journaling, which is why she created the Daily Glimmers Gratitude Journal, a prompted tool that takes 5 minutes or less to focus on the small moments of joy, or "glimmers".
