Welcome to the New Roots Society!

We are building a better future together: through reconnecting with nature, building strong community economies, and bringing regenerative living practices to the forefront of our daily lives.

Embracing Regenerative Living and Growing Community Connection

Our organization philosophy is simple yet deep, rooted in the natural wisdom of the earth.

  • Roots: Representing our core values: sustainability, respect for nature, and community. Our roots ground us, keeping us connected to what matters.

  • Trunk: This is our health: the things we do to prioritize our well-being so that we can best serve our community.

  • Branches: These are our actions: outreach, workshops, and events that bring people together and extend our reach into the community.

Together, The New Roots Society’s roots and branches symbolize a cycle of growth and connection, reminding us that just as a tree supports itself by reaching outward and grounding deeply, our community flourishes when individuals connect with each other and with the earth.

Even the inspiration for our logo stems from the roots and branches philosophy.

The New Roots Society is about something simple: reconnecting with what actually matters. The wisdom of the earth, the strength of community, and the kind of future worth building. A future where people look out for each other, where resources aren’t locked away by the highest bidder, and where the land isn’t treated like it’s disposable.

This isn’t about escaping the modern world or clinging to the past. It’s about using the best of both. The knowledge our ancestors passed down, combined with new ideas that actually work. Real change doesn’t come from corporate boardrooms or government policies. It happens in the choices we make, the way we show up for each other, and the communities we build.

Regenerative living doesn’t revolve around doing less harm like sustainability focuses on. It’s about actively repairing what’s been broken. Restoring the land instead of just sustaining it. Strengthening community ties instead of watching them fray. Creating systems that support real people, not just profits. It means resilience, not just survival. Abundance, not just scraping by.

This isn’t something that happens overnight, but it also doesn’t have to be some distant goal. It starts with us, right now. Change grows from the ground up, little by little each day.

We focus on three foundational areas of life: your roots, trunk, and branches. Each area comes with it’s own focus and initiatives. Learn more about each focus and ways to get involved below!
