Our methods focus on the relationship between personal and collective transformation through embodied practice, historical and political analysis, mutual vulnerability and accountability, and liberatory rest.
Ultimately we ground our work in recognizing that none of us will be free until all of us are free.
Rested Root Corp is a worker-owned cooperative of Black and Queer educators, facilitators, and organizers. We have nearly 2 decades of combined experience offering liberatory teaching and consulting to schools, universities, nonprofits, community groups, businesses, and governmental organizations.
Vulnerable. Strategic. Accountable.
Growing Liberation with our
"Tree of Change"
Seeds of Awareness
All of us have awareness buried in our consciousness that the current status quo is deeply inequitable, unfair, and unjust.
Saplings of Understanding
When nourished, these seeds of awareness will grow into saplings of understanding that our society is dominated by a system that values some lives over others.
Trunks of our Truth
We all have a truth that arises from our experience living in an inequitable society.
Rooted in Embodiment
When we root into our bodies, we deepen the resources that we can tap to heal and transform the legacies of our ancestral and lived trauma.

They did a good job of staying within time limits, making space for all voices (progressive stack, if needed), and being honest and upfront with everyone about where they were at throughout the day."
