Living in Rhythm

Rooted, learning in relationship with the land

We create spaces where people of all ages can reconnect—with the earth, with each other, and with themselves.
Through outdoor education, food gatherings, and threshold care, we offer experiences that nourish confidence, connection, and a sense of deep belonging.

Pillars


Nature

The land remembers what we’ve forgotten.
Nature is not a backdrop to this work—it is the teacher, the altar, the co-facilitator.
By returning to the rhythms of the natural world, we remember our place in the circle of life, death, and regeneration. This is where presence begins.

Curiosity

Questions are where we awaken.
This work honours what we do not yet know. Through stillness, ceremony, and open-hearted exploration, we make space for the unseen—trusting that curiosity, not certainty, is the path to remembering who we truly are and who we are becoming.

Relationship

Healing happens in connection.
We do not grow in isolation. Whether we’re tending a fire, gathering in grief, or preparing a meal together, every offering invites deeper relationship—with ourselves, each other, the land, and those who came before us. Nothing is separate.

Seeds Rooted Offerings

We create immersive, land-based experiences that support growth, confidence, and connection.
Whether for children, families, or those navigating life’s deeper thresholds, our programs are rooted in the belief that nature offers what we need to remember who we are. Being outdoors isn’t just refreshing—it’s transformational. In these spaces, people experience what it feels like to breathe deeper, learn differently, and belong more fully.

Core Values

 

 

Reciprocity

Nothing in nature takes without giving back.
This work is built on sacred exchange—with the land, with others, and with the unseen forces that hold it all. Every gathering, every offering, every interaction is an opportunity to give and receive in right relationship. We are not here to extract—we are here to tend, offer, witness, and listen.

Stewardship

Seeds Rooted exists not to control or own, but to care for. Whether tending young people, shared meals, end-of-life moments, or ancestral stories, we hold everything with reverence and responsibility. This is long-haul, slow work: tending what we’ve been entrusted with for the sake of those who will come after.

Presence

True connection can only happen when we show up fully. In this work, nothing is rushed. We move at the pace of nature, listening for what wants to unfold instead of forcing outcomes. Presence is not passive—it’s a choice to stay, to notice, and to trust that what is sacred will reveal itself when we are ready.

 

Honouring the Land We Work On

Seeds Rooted lives and grows on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Neutral peoples—lands held in the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Covenant, a treaty built on principles of peace, mutual care, and shared responsibility.

This is land within the Huron Tract, surrendered under Treaty 29 in 1827, and still held in spirit and sovereignty by the Anishinaabek Nations, including the communities of Kettle and Stony Point, Aamjiwnaang, Bkejwanong (Walpole Island), and the Saugeen Ojibway and Chippewa-Munsee-Oneida Nations.

Seeds Rooted is a circular offering—woven through all seasons of life.
From the first questions of childhood to the last breaths of the dying, this work honours the thresholds we cross as humans living in relationship with land, story, and one another.

Seeds Rooted is built on values of reciprocity, stewardship, and presence—values long held in Indigenous worldviews.
The work offered here—walking slowly, listening deeply, gathering in circle, honouring what is sacred—is not new.
These are ancient ways, carried long before us by the original stewards of this land.

Seeds Rooted exists because of this land, and because of those who have tended it for generations.
With humility and gratitude, we commit to listening, learning, and showing up in ways that honour the past, root us in the present, and nourish a future of repair, relationship, and respect.
