Welcome to Rooted Tenacity

What is it?

Rooted Tenacity is inspired by the image of a tree: rooted and sturdy, while also adaptable, resilient, and flexible at the top. Trees are connected to each other, providing sustenance and support, but also grounded in their individual strength and beauty.

As we look toward the future, with uncertainty and sometimes fear, we can also remember our strength, our creativity, and our tenacity. Our ability to find ways through, to advocate and work for the compassionate and just world that we want for all.

This program is intended for the advocates, the space holders, the champions and change makers. We also invite people who are wondering what to do or how to be aligned with justice and advocacy in their life or work. Together, we will support each other and explore topics that will help us think deeply and creatively about how we can be conduits of change.

Because change happens in community, together.

Our goals are to support you in:

  • Staying deeply connected to your why

  • Feeling rooted in your inner power to make change

  • Fostering sustainable resilience to do your work over the long haul

  • Generating community to remember our strength in connection

  • Connect to our creative imaginative visions for the future

Possibly asked questions

  • No. Being an agent of change starts inside of each of us and we all find different ways of expressing ourselves in change work. Whether you are an experienced advocate, or feeling inspired/confused/eager to do something now, you are welcome here.

  • We ask that all participants commit to three months of participation. This supports the growth of community and continuity. If you are absolutely unhappy with the program, we can discuss early discontinuation individually. 

  • There will be two monthly live calls, a group coaching circle and embodiment session. When sufficient interest grows, we will offer more days/times for engagement. Please fill out the waitlist if you are interest in joining but cannot participate at the current days and times.

  • This program is not aligned with a political party. This group recognizes the harms of patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, homophobia and ableism and we invite participants who believe in community, justice, and equity
