New This Summer!

The Rooted Mosaic Book Club

You care about this work. You've done the reading, sat in the hard conversations, and tried to show up differently. Maybe you see more clearly now than you did, and that clarity has brought its own kind of weight. You know enough to know something needs to change, but you're not always sure how to translate what you believe into accountable, consistent action. Or maybe you've been at this for a while, and you're tired. Not because you've stopped caring, but because racial justice work is a marathon, and you weren't trained to run one.

This summer, Rooted Mosaic is gathering a community — primarily for white Christians doing racial justice work, and for anyone committed to examining how whiteness shapes our lives, communities, and faith — to read and discuss Racial Justice for the Long Haul: How White Christian Advocates Persevere (and Why) by Christine Jeske. Together we'll find renewed courage, clarity, and connection for the road ahead.

  • This Book Club is offered with multiple pricing options to reflect differences in access and capacity, while also sustaining the care and preparation required to hold this space well.

    The Sustaining Rate helps cover the true cost of facilitation and supports broader access for others.
    The Standard Rate reflects the baseline cost of participation.
    The Supported Rate exists to reduce financial barriers for those who need it.

    All participants receive the same experience and are equally valued in this space. I trust you to choose the rate that best reflects your current financial reality and your care for sustaining this work. No explanation is required.

  • This Book Club will be facilitated by Julia Van Der Werf, founder of Rooted Mosaic.

    Julia holds this space not as an expert with answers, but as a practitioner committed to formation, discernment, and accountable presence. Her work centers helping individuals and communities navigate complexity with humility, clarity, and care—especially at the intersection of identity, power, and faith.
