How we grow culture

the mother tree

We use the metaphor of the “Mother Tree” to describe how our services work.

A Mother Tree is a large, often very ancient tree which acts as a central hub in a vast underground forest network. Through their extensive root systems, Mother Trees supply the other trees around them with extra nutrients when they are sick, send messages about environmental changes or threats, and enculturate seedlings to thrive in their particular soil.

Similarly, Culture Garden is a hub and distribution point for cultural nutrients. We make information available on many levels at once, so that what arises in the held space of our programs and consulting work can be shaped and applied by the groups we work with in a multitude of ways.
