Get to Know Tara Funk

Founder of Roots & Wings Collective

After a major health crisis reshaped her life, Tara Funk made a conscious decision to slow down, reimagine her work, and reconnect with what matters most. Community, inclusion, and the power of shared experience.

Today, through Roots & Wings Collective, Tara brings that same purpose-driven energy to the way people gather. Her work centers on designing events and experiences that are inclusive, accessible, and deeply human, spaces that honor every body and every story.

“Healing and connection begin when we design spaces where everyone feels accepted.”
— Tara Funk
