Get to Know Us

Roots to Rise was founded by biologist and leadership educator Suzanne Valkman. The courses are supported by a team of amazing professionals who enrich the programmes with their expertise and (cooking) skills. 

 

​In order to understand the roots of our existence and the way forward we need to understand ecology and the way everything is interconnected. The depth of this interdependence is far more complex than we often grasp. We stand on the shoulders of friends and teachers of life, we honor our ancestors and the sacred land that we live and work on and we acknowledge our kin in all Kingdoms of life. 

  

Roots to Rise is founded with the aim to inspire deep ecology action and awaken ecological consiousness through a practical method for (inner) transformation.
