Rooted in Community

Our Anchoring Our ROOTS community-based programs are born out of the wisdom and love for nature, and our appreciation for the generations that have come before us. The following values are represented through our logo;

  1. Our signature basket represents Heritage and Community Story telling woven and being passed down

  1. The seedling represents Mindfulness and Well-being we infuse in our selves and our children.

  2. The roots represent Sustainability and Stewardship anchored in our relationship with nature.

  3. The soil represents Empowerment through Knowledge shared through ancestral wisdom.

“Whether we learn how to love ourselves and others will depend on the presence of a loving environment. Self-love cannot flourish in isolation.”
