Root to Rise Reflections 🌲 Episode 7 from the Forest Edge

On this episode of Forest Alchemy, we gather in circle with some of the incredible humans who stayed through Sunday morning of our very first Root to Rise Skillshare weekend. What started as a closing conversation became a heartfelt exploration of what community really means—how it shows up in times of change, how it restores hope, and how it gives us strength to keep creating a new way of living.

You’ll hear stories of land stewardship, food forests, and visions for intentional community. We talk about intergenerational wisdom, rituals and rites of passage, resilience, and what it means to raise kids in connection rather than isolation. We touch on permaculture, plant communication, health, and the healing that comes from sharing meals, tools, stories, and laughter.

This episode is raw, real, and full of gratitude—for the friendships formed, the lessons shared, and the reminder that none of us are meant to do this alone. Root to Rise was more than a weekend gathering; it was proof that when we show up with open hearts, community grows.

Come sit with us, feel the sparks of reciprocity, and imagine the future we are all building together. 🌱🔥🌳
