The Banyan Tree & YWCA present Root Journeys: A celebration of South Asian history and culture, open for all ages & backgrounds

Root Journeys is a free, all-ages celebration of South Asian history, culture, and community. Guests are invited to explore eight immersive "journeys" spanning food and spice histories, fashion and fabric histories, women’s health journeys, women’s money journeys, family migration stories. From making turmeric tie-dye T-shirts to making herbal teas for your health needs, to a pop-up South Asian history museum, there's something meaningful and joyful for everyone — no matter your age or background. Come curious, and discover the roots and the journeys that connect us all.
