No, but I see why you would think that. In many ways, this project has been coming for about 23 years. Each year radicalised me more and, frankly, I was bigoted along the way, too. The past few years – and yes, definitely the escalation in Palestine in the past 12 months – I have become more conscious of what’s going on in the world. I felt this urge to build something better; and to burn the current systems down. I just didn’t feel equipped. Until I realised that I have over two decades to build on and my talent to see through systems and lies quickly gives me an advantage. Add to that my Aquarian soul – we’re always three years ahead 🤪 – and I knew I had something good brewing. All of that could not have happened without building some stability for myself, though. So I’m coming from a rooted place myself, a place I hope you will find throughout our year together.

The goal here IS to get us all more active, to build something from the ground up. So you may well feel called to put that energy into Palestine’s liberation. Or the DR Congo’s. Or Sudan’s. Or Tigray’s. I could go on. You may find a completely different cause that gets you going like nothing else and place your efforts there. All is welcome, you’re not doing it wrong. I WILL be talking about Palestine, the climate and all the genocides going on. But I will NEVER make you do anything. That’s fucking oppressive and that’s what we’re moving away from here. No more oppression. This is about liberation and that includes ourselves.

This may feel daunting. I get it. It is daunting for me, too. I have never built or sold anything that would last a whole year. It fucking terrifies me. But there is no quick fix here. We need to build from the ground up and that takes time. Imagine building a house in a day. How good do you reckon that foundation would be?

So we’re going at a sustainable pace. We expand every three seasons/months. And the first bit may just be the most challenging, because you get to know and trust yourself. How would that feel? Really, fully trusting yourself, so you actually no longer give a fuck what people think of you. I can tell you from the other side: It feels fucking amazing.

Then we go from there and look at your inner circle: Friends, family, colleagues, people you live with. Build a foundation there, set boundaries, put effort into healing and repairing relationships. We will also support you if you need to end a relationship along the way. You will be held throughout.

In the second half of the year, we’ll look at your neighbourhood, your part of town, your town or city and how it all fits into your country. You’ll learn what you can influence and how you can translate things you’ve accomplished in your inner circle to this wider circle.

The last three seasons will be focused on the wider collective: Your country in the context of the nation state, your continent and your place in the world at large. You’ll learn how you stay connected and tapped in while taking good care of yourself.

All these things cannot be learnt and, more importantly, lived and ROOTED within a few weeks. It takes time and that isn’t a bad thing. I also believe we need to get used to commitments again. Let us truly commit to each other for a full year and see what happens.

Absolutely not. For the reasons mentioned above around this whole year commitment.

Now, I’m not operating a dictatorship nor do I wish to hold you hostage or have this commitment cause you harm. So, if you decide you need to leave, we will talk about it and find a solution. If you have to leave for financial reasons, we will sort you out and cancel. But these are extraordinary circumstances.

You will have seen that there are three different payment options. A solidarity rate at £20 per month, the full rate at £40 per month and a sustainability rate at £60 per month. I have chosen these prices very intentionally and believe them to be fair.

Usually, this question is from people who are struggling financially in some way and want to give more whenever they can. I get it. I have quite literally been there and I AM there a lot of the time. I love where you’re coming from. And upgrading feels SO BLOODY GOOD, I know it does.

But you know what feels shit? Downgrading. Realising you’ve overcommitted. That sometimes comes with shame, too, maybe guilt. I don’t want that for you. I want you to commit to a rate that is sustainable for you for a whole year. And I’m inviting you to feel supported for the whole year, if you’re on the solidarity rate. Allow yourself to receive, allow community care. And if you ever feel like throwing more money my way, there’s a tip jar highlight on my Instagram. Do it that way whenever you feel you have plenty.

Yes and no. Your payday may be after the 22nd and in that case, you can absolutely join later. I will make sure you get the Zoom links to our calls and any materials that may drop until you can sign up properly. The last thing I want is that you feel nervous about a bouncing payment every month.

I will keep the doors open for most of Scorpio season (until 13 November 2024), but not beyond that. I originally planned another intake after six months, but I don’t think that will actually happen. I want to focus on this fully without going back into sales mode. This first year will also show where we can take this in the years to come. Pluto in Aquarius – which really triggered all of this – is a twenty year transit after all.

Yes! Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds as I think everyone’s perspective is valuable in building a new world. So, if you are fully committed and ready to stick it out with a lovely bunch of people for a whole year, please use this coupon code at checkout: R00ting4US

I know, right?! 😅 This is a stretch for me, too, as I usually don’t let the outside world in before 12 pm. But I chose the time very intentionally. On the one hand, I would like to experience more daylight and try to adjust my wake-sleep rhythm this way. On the other, Rooting is created with entrepreneurs in mind, with stay at home parents in mind and with everyone else working from home in mind. Or not working for that matter. And if you’re in employment (especially for a corporation), it would fill me with intense joy knowing you are neglecting that work that for four hours a season. Glorious act of rebellion.

Yes. Joining us live, in circle, will give you the best of Rooting and the most value. Community building happens when we’re present with each other. That also happens in The Rabbit Hole (the community space where we can chat), but Rooting has been built to bring us together.

All calls are recorded, so don’t sweat it if you miss the odd call. This needs to work for you and only you know your capacity. I have skipped full months in other people’s memberships because I couldn’t be there on any level. What I would love is if you always made the effort to be there for the “Feel” call (exceptions as just mentioned apply). The Feel circle is where we connect vulnerably and where we share our struggles intentionally. You can obviously do that in any other space within Rooting, but this one is made for it.
