Rooted

A 6-month leadership development experience for heart-led, purpose-driven leaders and changemakers who want to fortify their self-concept, live and lead from their Truth, and amplify their impact in the world.

If you’ve always felt misunderstood…

Like people don’t really get you.

If you’ve always felt out of place…

Like you don’t quite belong.

It’s probably because you’re here to change the norm.

The world we live in wasn’t made for people like you…

Which is exactly why you’re so needed in it.

You’re here to break cycles and shift paradigms.

To ignite (R)EVOLutionary Change™ through your work and in our world.

It’s important. It’s needed. And it’s BIG.

It requires you to be fortified in the foundation you’re standing on.

To be deeply rooted in your why, your values, your gifts, your convictions—your Truth.

Right now, your biggest challenge is this…

The foundation you're building on isn’t yet strong enough to support the monumental change you want to make in the world—or the magnitude of the power you’re here to embody as you do it. 

You believe so strongly in the change you want to create, but you may struggle to believe in yourself.

You want to feel confident in your capabilities, grounded in your gifts, and in congruence with your convictions, but instead…

❂ You feel wobbly or unanchored in your sense of self. You’re not sure you can “hold” it all—your vision for the world, your desires for your life, being seen and known by others

❂ You’re afraid to share your unique ideas and point of view because you could be judged or criticized, so you censor your wisdom, silence your truth, and say or do what’s “expected” of you

❂ You doubt your ability to make a difference. You don’t fully trust yourself, your ideas, or the value of your degrees and certifications.  A part of you whispers, “who am I to do this?”

❂ You’re disconnected from your own wants and needs. Even if you know what they are, you ignore them and put everyone else first, because that’s what a “good” person does

❂ You’re thrown for a loop when things don’t go as planned—you feel frustrated and anxious, and suddenly you’re overthinking everything, beating yourself up, and spiraling in shame

❂ You thrive on the approval, praise, and recognition of other people, and you tend to feel empty, undervalued, or unappreciated without it—like what you’re doing doesn’t even matter

❂ You struggle with the pressure of doing it all perfectly and the thought of making a “bad” or “wrong” decision keeps you frozen in place and unable to build momentum toward your dreams

❂ You’re not where you “should” be compared to everyone else, so you push yourself to be productive and feel guilty prioritizing rest and play, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed

What if you could be more Rooted in your Truth?

Maybe you’ve tried aLL tHe tHiNgS and still don’t seem to be getting where you want to be. 

That’s because the answer doesn’t lie in more business programs, mindset courses, or manifestation practices. 

None of these things will give you what you really need, because what you need is already within you.

Fortifying your foundation requires you to return to your True Nature, your Soul’s Essence. 

To shed the layers of constructs and conditioning that separate you from the wisdom within.

Because once you’ve done that, your life and leadership will look and feel more like this…

❂ You’re safe and secure in your sense of self. Even when being seen and known feels scary, you stand tall and sovereign in your truth because you’re confident in who you are

❂ You freely express yourself without fear of judgment or criticism. You know some people won’t like you or agree with you, but you’re so clear in your convictions that it doesn’t really sway you

❂ You unapologetically own your ideas, expertise, and unique point of view. No one else can offer your medicine in the way you do. You’re here to make an impact and leave a legacy

❂ You honor your need for balance, rest, and play without guilt or shame. When you prioritize your own well-being, you can pour into others without feeling bitter or resentful

❂ You stay grounded and centered when things don’t go as you want or expect. Obstacles and challenges are opportunities to learn, grow, and course-correct 

❂ Your self-worth is sourced from within. You might not always get the validation you want or the recognition you deserve, but you know you’re inherently worthy and what you do matters

❂ You’ve released the need to have control over the process and the outcome. You don’t have to be perfect in every way, because your imperfection is what makes you human and relatable. 

❂ You’re committed to your purpose, devoted to your why, and courageously move toward your big vision. Even when the state of the world rocks your faith, you’re grounded in your mission

If you want to strengthen and deepen the roots of your BEing,

so you can stand tall and sovereign in your Truth and fortify your capacity to weather any storm,

all while leading a purpose-driven mission to create a better world…

Whether you're an educator, therapist, humanitarian, activist, creative, healer, leader, soulpreneur—or anyone who's here to catalyze a movement toward human-centered change

…this program was made for you.

“A truly amazing experience. Lena took me on a journey that was mind blowing. Uncovering my past, memories I have long forgotten but perhaps not fully cleared… Lena helped me see patterns that serve me and gently highlighted the patterns that perhaps hold me back from being fully aligned with my purposeful path. Lena stands right alongside you, she is warm, caring and genuine. She cares about her clients and goes above and beyond. If you get a chance to work with this extraordinary woman DO IT! Working with Lena is an amazing opportunity to really discover your on-purpose path, what brought you here, and how you can stay on course.” —K.B.

My recent journey of becoming more Rooted

As the world began to witness the unfolding of a genocide in Gaza, I had to have a real reckoning with myself about why I wasn’t fully showing up (online) in my leadership.

And it led to a massive unraveling.

Once I began to pull at the threads I already had some awareness around, I discovered a complex, multi-faceted, layered web of interconnectedness regarding:

  • My lived experience as a first-generation Greek-American

  • Why I got an M.A. in religious nationalism and religious-based war and conflict

  • My discomfort with the shame-based landscape of social media in 2020

  • The real reasons I stopped posting about social justice and current events

  • The ways I'd rejected my family’s ancestral trauma around oppression, war, and genocide

  • Complex feelings related to my race and identity as a white-passing individual

  • The unconscious fear that it’s not “my place” to say what liberation looks like

I’ve taken myself through the process of Rooting more times than I can count, but this particular iteration was especially powerful and potent. 

I’m reclaiming my ancestry, my identity, and my superpowers, so I can more fully show up as the leader I'm meant to be.

So I can be a catalyst for (R)EVOLutionary Change™ and liberation.

As leaders, we have to be willing to shine a light on our own shadows.

To meet ourselves at our edges. To sit with difficult and uncomfortable truths.

This is how we fortify our capacity to hold our big vision for the world, to bring our unique medicine forward, to live our mission with integrity and in congruence with our convictions.

This is how we break through the barriers within us, so that we can dismantle the systems around us.

“My expectations were more than met! I learned so much about myself in such a short amount of time. By the end I definitely was no longer acting from a place of fear. I understand myself a lot better and also understand my needs and wants. I’ve learned how to integrate my shadows and stay more in tune with myself so I can be more intentional in my life all around. This experience is perfect for someone who is running into triggers regularly, especially someone who has been working to get to the root of their struggles via other methods and isn’t finding success.” —M.L.

This program is an activation of your deepest Truth.

The answers you seek are already within you. 

The wisdom you desire to access is already within you.

The strength and power you hope to embody are already within you.

I've created this program to offer you a mirror. 

To create a space where you can illuminate your unconscious beliefs, stories, and patterns.

To help you discern what is True for you and what isn’t.

What belongs and what needs to be released.

What is asking to be reclaimed so you can honor your fullest and truest self-expression.

Becoming Rooted in your Truth is a remembrance.

This is a homecoming.

The core themes we’ll cover inside Rooted

🌱 Root Reconnaissance: Exploring the Soil You Were Planted In 

Who were you taught to be and how does that impact how you move through the world now? We’ll explore how you’ve been conditioned by your ancestral heritage, family of origin/primary caretakers, cultural context, social norms, and systems of oppression.You’ll get profound clarity on how these influences have shaped your (un)conscious beliefs about yourself and the world, as well as how you’ve internalized these elements to construct an acceptable “persona” that has disconnected you from your true soul's essence.

🍂 Clear Out the Overgrowth: Pulling the Weeds and Shedding Old Leaves

What are the pieces and parts of your persona that maintain the disconnection from your Truth? What are the beliefs about yourself and the world that don’t actually belong to you? What are your patterns of behavior rooted in fear and self-protection as opposed to love and liberation? You’ll practice releasing and letting go of what was never your responsibility to shoulder, so you can unburden yourself of everything that’s been weighing you down and suppressing your spirit.

💦 Fortify Your Foundation: Watering the Seeds of Your Power and Purpose 

What are the pieces and parts of your true soul’s essence that need to be reclaimed? The qualities, traits, gifts, dreams, and desires that are asking to be seen, loved, and welcomed into the fullness of your BEing. The hidden parts of you that want to be expressed in your work and brought into the change you’re here to make. You’ll strengthen your self-concept by honoring your wholeness. You’ll lean into your inner wisdom, practice self-trust, and own the power of your embodied, uncensored self-expression so you can BE the change you want to create in the world.

🌳 Grounded Expansion: Standing Tall and Sovereign Like the Mighty Oak 

What does it look like to honor who you really are with unwavering steadfastness? To be so aligned with your values and devoted to your vision that you live in integrity with your Truth and lead in congruence with your convictions. You’ll learn to cultivate a sense of felt safety and emotional security so you are no longer bent and broken by other people’s opinions, expectations, or criticisms. When you become deeply rooted in your Truth, there is no reason to fear the wind.

“I loved the entire process. These sessions are created in a way that brings clarity and space and allows a powerful and subtle integration to happen. Before this, I felt some things in my business didn’t feel aligned anymore but I couldn’t put a finger on what needed to change. Once the sessions ended, I knew I was ready to pivot to something completely different. Lena’s caring and empathetic approach, combined with her in-depth knowledge, create a fantastic environment to connect not only with your purpose, but also with the shadow and limiting beliefs so cemented that it could be impossible to break free from them without her input. I can’t recommend this enough!!” —C.P.

Take your Rooted experience to the next level

What if you knew exactly…

  • why you continue to experience the same challenges again and again?

  • what you needed to shift in order to break those patterns and cycles?

  • how to make those shifts—the actual steps you can take?

What if you were given the tools to reclaim your power and return to wholeness, so you could build meaningful momentum toward your soul’s purpose with clarity, courage, and confidence?

If this feels like a YES, you may want to consider adding the optional 1:1 Root & Rise upgrade to your Rooted experience.

This upgrade includes a soul purpose astrology reading, where we’ll uncover…

  • Your Soul’s deepest evolutionary desire, which also happens to be the most unconscious part of you

  • How you’ve created emotional safety in past lives and how that plays out now, usually in ways that are limiting your full potential

  • The most significant obstacles to your Soul’s evolution and how to move beyond them

  • Past life trauma signatures and deeply subconscious fears, so you can understand the underlying reasons for seemingly inexplicable challenges or obstacles

  • What your Soul came to learn in this lifetime, and how to embrace those lessons with more ease and effectiveness

Our birth charts show us that our unconscious patterns almost always play out as a repeat of energetic signatures carried over from past life experiences. And, because our charts represent our Soul’s blueprint, they can show us the way back to our True Essence.

Contrary to popular belief, the chart doesn’t represent your fate, but your potential. A birth chart consultation doesn’t reveal your destiny—it shows you how to create your own.

In addition to the soul purpose astrology reading, the Root & Rise upgrade includes 6 1:1 coaching sessions (1x/month) tailored to your Soul’s purpose and text + voice note support between sessions.

There are only 4 spots available for this optional add-on.

 

“I’ve been doing a lot of self work over the last year and what Lena was able to help me realize within a few hours was extremely impressive. I was actually shocked how quickly she could frame up some deep rooted themes I had been struggling to identify on my own. I’ll be the first to tell you I’m a skeptic of astrological readings, but I was immediately talking about it with my closest friends and family. I wish I had this a lot sooner.” —W.C.

Hi, I’m Lena Papadopoulos

Trauma Alchemist | Leadership Coach | Educator | Facilitator

My work supports heart-led, purpose-driven visionaries, trailblazers, and changemakers who want to lead a (R)EVOLution™ for individual and collective liberation.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, a Master’s in cultural anthropology with a research specialization in religious-based war and conflict, a graduate certification in international development, and Pluto conjunct my South Node and Sun in the 8th house of Scorpio—I’m an expert in how the shadow manifests in self, society, and systems of oppression.

As an award-winning intercultural educator and practitioner of evolutionary astrology, I have 15 years experience helping people become aware of their unconscious bias, cultural conditioning, and parental programming so they can break free of these limitations and rediscover their authentic soul’s essence.

I’ve facilitated 30+ leadership development programs in a dozen countries around the world with a focus on helping purpose-driven leaders and changemakers get clear on their vision, mission, values, and the unique skills and strengths they can leverage to make an impact. 

My superpowers are making the unconscious conscious, alchemizing pain into power and purpose, and uncovering the root cause of an issue while rising above it to see the bigger picture and a strategic way forward. 

All my offerings are personalized according to the unique context, challenges, and needs of each individual I work with. The most consistent feedback I get from my clients is that they feel safe, seen, and supported in our work together. I would be honored to guide you on your path!

"Lena’s beautiful character paired with her extensive experience working with diverse groups makes her uniquely qualified to design and deliver meaningful programs. Through masterful planning and creative delivery, Lena guides participants through a process of discovery and transformation that has long-lasting effects. Her approach is innovative and incredibly intentional, creating a safe atmosphere of acceptance and genuine respect. She is deeply committed to building connection at a time when the world needs it most." —J.S.A.

"Lena is uniquely capable of creating space for understanding and challenging you to become the best version of yourself. By facilitating a comfortable environment to get uncomfortable, her programs provide the perfect opportunity for vulnerability and deep reflection. In my own experience, Lena's programs opened the door to many positive changes. I would absolutely recommend working with Lena, as you cannot find someone more compassionate, thoughtful, and insightful." —M.C.

By the end of this experience, you will have fortified your capacity to…

  • Know yourself deeply and see yourself clearly 

  • Trust yourself and honor your inner wisdom

  • Embrace all your parts with love and compassion

  • Transmute pain and shame into power and purpose

  • Stand tall and strong in unwavering authenticity 

  • Stay grounded and centered amidst challenges

  • Bravely express your gifts as medicine for the world

  • Live and lead in congruence with your convictions

Have I taken myself through this process countless times in my life? Yes.

Am I fully embodied in the Truth of who I am? No. 

Will you be fully embodied in your Truth after this program? No.

Coming home to ourselves is a lifelong process and commitment.

But if you want to build exponential momentum toward becoming more Rooted in Truth, this program will help you do it. I sincerely have no doubts about that.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • All calls will be recorded and uploaded to a portal where you will be given lifetime access.

    The energy is more potent and powerful when we gather together in real-time, so attending live as much as possible is strongly encouraged, but it’s not necessary if you can’t always make it or if you can’t stay on for the full duration of a call.

  • Absolutely! It’s important to me that this is an aligned decision that feels good for you, so please schedule a free clarity call and we can discuss further!

  • The particular approach I take when reading a chart necessitates that we have an exact time of birth—and every minute makes a difference in generating an accurate chart. However, you can still add on the 1:1 support if you’d like to personalize and deepen your program experience.

  • No refunds or guarantees will be offered for this program.
