Tia Lorae

I'm Tia—filmmaker, writer, storyteller, traveler, meditation guide, mama... among other things. Embarking on my mindfulness journey seven years ago is what ultimately led me to start my own filmmaking business and has helped me stay aligned with my heart in all that I do.
I first learned the craft of storytelling as a journalist, where I discovered the beauty of documenting raw, real moments — the ones that elicit deep emotions as you witness them unfold. Ever since, I've been in love with telling meaningful stories. Similar to meditation and mindfulness practice, stories have the power to ground us, center us and remind us of what it really means to live.
I am currently working on my master's in mindfulness studies to help guide others on their own journey inward. I feel most connected to wisdom while outdoors, which is why travel and exploration have been such a huge piece in my journey home to myself. To combine travel, mindfulness and storytelling into my work with Root Adventures feels like the truest representation of my heart.
