Reconnect

It’s easy to feel rootless. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected, frustrated, or lonely. How do you put down roots when it feels like the ground is shifting sands? Our relationship with the land, each other, and God’s creatures is broken. At rooted, we are taking up this work of repair and reconcile together for the sake of our future. Let’s get rooted in community with each other and with God’s creation.

What we’re doing

How are we getting rooted? Community meals, crafting together, worship and learning in forests, growing plants, feasting and fasting, and sinking into the beauty of everyday spirituality. Rooted is also in the midst of a design and visioning process. As well as assembling an advisory board and trustees in order to develop a long range plan we are developing some pilot engagement and education activities for the Midlands (UK). Please get in touch if you’d like to be involved in our work. These are exciting times and we’d love to have you working alongside us.

Our Mission

Evolving Faith

From ancient-future faith, emergent Christianity, generous orthodoxy, new monasticism, forest church and evolving faith, Across the last 30 years, a range of renewal movements have provided a context for the renewal of Christianity and the gathering of spiritual refugees around these areas of common concern. Rooted is connected with this work of renewal, particularly around reconnecting faith with wilderness, creativity and justice.

Rebuilding Community

The problems we face are too big and too challenging to confront as individuals. Rebuilt communities can pool resources, energy, share knowledge, and support one another. And public policy developed on the community level is more embedded and resilient.

Urban Restoration

Human approaches to nature conservation have often focussed on keeping people away from the natural world. We believe that it is only by getting back into direct relationship to the land and the creatures living on it will our societies be able to start to really fight the worsening ecological crisis. We want to put the work of restoration in the centre, and bring care for the earth back to our cities. Rooted aims to be a laboratory for urban faith-based restoration.

Education that connects all the dots

One of our key areas of work is in creating participatory educational opportunities where people can explore and reintegrate faith, spiritual practice, well-being, social justice, and ecology.

Who is rooted?

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
