Mother Roots

Mother Roots was formulated from the TTT Community Champion programme in Summer 2021 and considers ‘M/othering’ within the context of today’s global society and the problems we face. The founding premise is that ‘mothering’ is a way of being, an approach and activities that are widely unseen and undervalued in relation to the true nature of their value in society, that extends way beyond parenting our children. This relative invisibility reflects our currently dysfunctional relationship to our ecosystem and ‘resources’ and impoverishes our predominant economic and social systems.

Mother Roots seeks to explore more fully what ‘mothering’ is, how it may be made more visible and how these conversations may stimulate movement toward a more resilient, socially just and regenerative culture going forward. 

Mother Roots hosts community events designed to raise awareness of the potency of M/othering in every aspect of life. How might engaging from a M/othering perspective enrich our approach to socio-ecological systems such as environment, planning, transport, economics? We seek to explore, tend, celebrate and amplify this vital, regenerative and inclusive perspective within our communities and enable us to weave more resilience in facing the future together.

To date we have conducted exploratory zooms with relevant, local organisations, identifying themes that arise when we consider M/othering. We also held a Conception Day with self-identified M/others, where we considered what M/othering is, the wounds, the gifts/skills and the visions that surface when we engage with M/othering energy. We are currently expanding our work into the wider community to explore everyone's relationship to M/othering and how opening to this might influence how we arrive and engage in our own local communities.  

We seek to make visible and empower M/othering as a fully embodied, creative and active principle in our society.  To nourish our connection and commitment to the visions, planning and actions required for resilience, inclusivity and collaboration within our communities. To support thriving life, whilst acknowledging the very real limitations of our capacities individually, collectively and planetarily.
