MYCORRISING
with Estephanie Martinez-Alfonzo
IT IS TIME TO RISE
together. rise into balanced relationship, deeper awareness, and whole empowerment that helps us connect, respect, and engage with this beautiful world we co-inhabit.
‘mycorrhizae’ are mutually beneficial networks of relationship between plants and fungi. the name of this organization - Mycorrising - is a play on this word. this work, like mycorrhizal relationships, is mutually connective and supportive. for our liberation across differences, we can only rise together; we can only co-rise. and, the work is also personal; it can only be yours. only you can choose.
so, this is your co-rising. or, if you were to say it in the first person; my co-rising.
welcome.
OFFERINGS
