About reRoot
Many non-Indigenous systems run on patterns that do not align with living systems or life-affirming values. reRoot exists to support realignment so reciprocal Indigenous partnership and collective wellbeing can take root.
We help teams build regenerative practice grounded in their own strengths, responsibilities, and relationship to place, supporting stronger organizational practice and more reciprocal Indigenous partnership.
Bryce Henney
I am a non-Indigenous practitioner based in Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, with roots in Metro Detroit on Anishinaabe lands. Witnessing mental unwellness, disconnection, and loss of meaning in my own communities grounds my commitment to work that addresses the deeper premises beneath today’s ecological and social crises.
My practice sits at the intersection of Indigenous community planning, living-systems thinking, and cross-cultural collaboration. I am a graduate of UBC’s Indigenous Community Planning program, where my learning centered on Indigenous planning approaches, methodologies, and community-based research. In parallel, I have spent several years engaging with Western regenerative practice, with a focus on place-based grounding, developmental thinking, and organizational realignment. Earlier training in engineering and business helps me work across technical and non-technical settings and make complex dynamics visible and workable.
Over the past eight years, I have worked alongside Indigenous Nations and with universities, governments, health systems, and environmental organizations. At the heart of this work is a commitment to moving beyond patterns that perpetuate separation and suffering, and cultivating practices that help us reconnect with meaning, relationship, and shared purpose.

How We Work
Shared Sensemaking and Paradigm Awareness
We help teams make visible the deeper beliefs, premises, and patterns shaping how they approach reconciliation, stewardship, and partnership, and understand what those ways of working are creating. Shared discernment helps teams recognize what needs to shift and move toward more relational, regenerative practice without reducing the challenge to individual blame.
Grounded Responsibility and Contribution
We support teams in clarifying what is theirs to carry, shift, and contribute from their own roles, strengths, disciplines, responsibilities, and relationship to place. This supports grounded contribution without passivity, overreach, copying Indigenous approaches, or expecting Indigenous partners to define the whole path.
Practical Translation and Visual Sensemaking
We use visual maps, stories, examples, frameworks, and facilitated reflection to make complex, paradigm-level shifts understandable and workable. This helps teams translate deeper reorientation into everyday practice.
Vision & Invitation
We are living in a time of ecological, social, and spiritual breakdown, alongside a growing crisis of disconnection and meaning. Many efforts to respond are genuine, but remain at the level of policies, programs, and processes without shifting the deeper beliefs and premises that continue to shape these crises.
reRoot exists to support deeper sources of meaning, purpose, and responsibility. We help teams examine and shift the beliefs and premises shaping how they act, decide, and relate, so change happens at the root rather than only in policies or programs.
We envision people supporting one another to reconnect with meaning and contribute from their distinct gifts, roles, and responsibilities in service of the wellbeing of people, place, and future generations.
