About

Root To Root Community is inspired by the intelligence of a forest.

Trees of different species support each other, as well as other surrounding plants, though an underground fungal system called a mycorrhizal network. In these networks, mycelium attaches to the roots plants and trees to transfer water, nutrients and even send chemical signals to warn against danger.

This system works to keep the forest nourished and protected.

Trees and fungi recognize that collaboration increases their chance of survival. They work together, root to root, to find balance and provide a healthy environment for the seedlings of future generations.

Modern life often leaves us busy, distracted and disconnected, severing our attention from the present moment while forgetting our relationship to nature.

Root To Root Community was created with the intention to bring people together to be nourished in connection, just like our plant and fungi friends.

Activities that deepen our knowledge of the natural world, foster awareness and action through environmental advocacy, cultivate relationship to our inner world and allows creative expression will form the foundation of this community.

There will be workshops, gatherings, volunteer opportunities and educational classes with a wide range of topics and ideas.

“Roots didn’t thrive when they grew alone. The trees need one another.”

“If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Root to Root was imagined
by Kenna Stronach

Through her own yearning for community and desire to show others the power of connecting to the natural world. A year spent as a wildlife rehabber in Texas in 2014 followed by a spontaneous move to Northern California in 2016 changed the entire trajectory of her life. Kenna began to uncover her inner wisdom after following a strong urge to create a pollinator garden. What followed was a new passion and calling to advocate for the land and wildlife.

Through observation of her garden she saw the power of being a steward to the land along with the responsibility it holds. She witnessed the threads of connection through every living thing that visited and lived in her garden and recognized it mirroring within herself.

She understands we are relational beings who have forgotten the importance of community and are severely lacking consistent access to the natural world.

Kenna envisions a gathering of friends who learn, evolve, create, build and sow the seeds of a brighter tomorrow.
