We Connect
Forest Roots Collective is an incubator of sorts. Where you can test things out, ask questions, find support and find Root Sisters ready to participate in whatever you dream up!
Our gatherings and programs center around the exploration and celebration of life through the lens of community, contemplative practices, and rites of passage.
The collective is made up of women and youth as well as artists, makers, activists, and Elders who use their strengths and passions in collaboration to create meet-ups, workshops, and events that create lasting cultural change in the community of Anchorage, Alaska and surrounding areas.
We believe that it is time to work together in collaborative networks, moving beyond hierarchies and old power structures to ones of sharing, equal investment, and partnership. We are practicing and experimenting with this new way of being through the organization and collaboration of gatherings and projects that bring us reflection, connection and joy.

Stewardship Team
The Stewardship Team is a unique opportunity to use our collective wisdom and skills to create significant cultural change in South Central Alaska. We are interested in bringing together a group of 8 to12 women in Anchorage who will form a network of support for one another as well as hold space for a larger community of women and teens through the Forest Roots Collective.

Elders, Welcomed!
We recognize the significant role Elders play in our lives and the importance of intergenerational relationships within our community. You are our glue. If you are a female, 65 or older, we would love to offer or membership and programing for free and invite you to take on a special space in our community.
Watch out! We're dreaming big.
We can see, feel and smell a new way to be in community. One that honors our past and grows a new future. One that is kinship and connection based, where we create a place to collaborate, brush shoulders, rest, and play together. Community is shaped by its participants, and with a strong, life-giving heart at the helm.
We believe this way is possible and we are here to begin the process.
