be still

There are moments when something within us stirs, a quiet recognition that life is inviting us deeper.
Into presence. Into relationship. Into what is sacred and already alive.

To The Root exists for those moments.
Here, we listen for the Divine in breath and body, in silence and story, in the living world that holds us all in kinship.

Wayne Randolph is a fellow traveler, a companion on the inward journey, and the founder of To The Root. His life is shaped by a quiet, profound trust that the sacred is near, woven into breath, in silence, and the interbeing of all things.

With a background in teaching theology and leadership, Wayne has guided others in classrooms and across 22 countries. He has led students and adults into spaces of service and learning, from Guatemala to the Dominican Republic, inviting recognition of the sacred in everyday life.

Wayne is rooted in the lineage of the Narrative Enneagram, having studied with Helen Palmer, Marion Gilbert, and Peter O’Hanrahan. He offers the Enneagram as a gentle map, helping us notice fear, anger, and longing in the body, and how to respond with awareness and compassion.

Trained in the Art of Spiritual Direction through Stillpoint at Ghost Ranch, Wayne draws from Christian mystics, Buddhist and Sufi wisdom, and the living world. He listens to the land as teacher and companion, holding a wisdom that is ancient and shared. The sacred is encountered in breath and stillness, in the natural world, and in the stories we share.

At To The Root, Wayne offers a space of return, a place to remember wholeness as something to be lived.

To The Root exists to help people journey toward wholeness and a deeper connection with the Divine.

In a world shaped by speed, noise, and reactivity, many sense that something essential has been lost, not broken, but buried. To The Root creates intentional space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what is most true.

Through Enneagram equipping, Spiritual Direction, and SoulLab Excursions, To The Root supports individuals, couples, and small groups navigating transition, deconstruction, anxiety, anger, and a longing for deeper connection. This work centers on awareness of body, mind, patterns, and presence, allowing new possibilities to emerge.

At the heart of To The Root is a simple belief:
the sacred is woven into everyday life.

It is found in breath and body, in silence and conversation, in wild landscapes and unexpected places. Whether sitting together in spiritual direction, mapping inner patterns through the Enneagram, or practicing mysticism in nature or the city, we learn to recognize the Divine already at work within and among us.

To The Root draws from contemplative Christianity and remains open to wisdom from global and mystical traditions. It is a place for seekers, questioners, and those who sense that wholeness is possible.

You don’t need to have the answers.
You only need the willingness to listen.
