​
How long does a series last?
Each series consists of 7 experiences over 6 weeks, meeting on the same weekday (either Tue, Wed, or Thu). Each experience includes guided activities and conversation for a fun and intentional time together.
​
How long does each experience last?
Each week's experience is from 6:30pm - 9pm. You're always welcome to stay and hang out with the other ladies afterwards if you choose. All activities are included in the fee (including a RR guide who serves as facilitator, organizer, and game-master), but meals and drinks are additional for purchase. Please check the itinerary on the page in your city to plan ahead.
​
When does the next series start?
Please check the dates for your city by choosing your city from the "Join In Your City" dropdown in the main menu. We have new cohorts starting every two weeks. An example series includes guided deep conversations, mini-golf, a scavenger hunt, an arcade night, happy hour games, and more.
​
When do I need to commit to the full series?
You need to commit to the full series at the end of the first experience. You attend the first experience for $20, where you’ll meet your gal group and RealRoots guide over wine. At the end of the first experience, you’ll need to commit to the full series for an additional $249 (for 7 total experiences). The fee includes all activities, and a trained RealRoots guide to plan and lead each experience. Meals are additional and available for purchase.
What happens if I need to miss an experience?
Although we encourage you do your best to attend each experience from beginning to end, participants sometimes need to miss an experience or two due to prior commitments or emergencies. If you do need to miss one please let your RealRoot guide know as soon as possible, so that we can update the headcount for the experience.
​
Is it still worth it if I need to miss 1-2 experiences?
Yes! On average, ladies need to miss 1-2 experience of the 7, and the outcomes are amazing for those who attend at least 5 out of 7. However if you know you need to miss 3 or more experiences, then we'd recommend you join for a later series instead to get the best experience.
​
