How reRoot Contributes
reRoot can contribute within an existing team or initiative, alongside another practitioner, or through a specific piece of work. The role can be ongoing or focused, and is shaped around the context, relationships, and what is most useful.
Organizational Practice & Leadership
Supporting teams, departments, and leaders to evolve the organization's own ways of working and strengthen what it is capable of contributing.
Sample scenarios
An Indigenous, reconciliation, or partnership office wants parallel developmental support for non-Indigenous teams, so the wider organization develops more of its own relational and regenerative grounding alongside Indigenous-led work
A team or organization is entering strategic planning, visioning, leadership development, or organizational change and wants the process to deepen how the organization works and what it is capable of contributing
Support can take shape through: strategic planning and visioning, leadership or team development, facilitation, workshops, embedded advisory support, or a longer developmental process.
Projects, Research & Engagement
Contributing framing, research, sensemaking, process design, and practical support within a specific initiative.
Sample scenarios
A planning, research, stewardship, or technical initiative needs support shaping its strategy, process, or implementation in a more relational and place-responsive way
A non-Indigenous team is participating in an Indigenous-led or cross-cultural project and wants to strengthen the practice and contribution it brings, supporting more grounded and complementary collaboration
Support can take shape through: research and synthesis, project strategy, planning and process design, engagement support, facilitation, visual sensemaking, or contributing within an active project team.
Collaboration & Shared Initiatives
Supporting multi-party initiatives to work across organizational boundaries and orient more coherently around a shared or place-based direction.
Sample scenarios
Organizations in a watershed, stewardship, community, or other shared initiative are working through different mandates, priorities, or structures and want to develop a more coherent and relational way of working together
A Nation-led or place-based direction depends on multiple non-Indigenous organizations strengthening their own practice and contribution, so the wider field becomes more capable of supporting that direction
Support can take shape through: collaborative strategy and sensemaking, facilitation and convening, place-based planning, visual systems mapping, support to coordinating teams, or longer-term participation in a shared initiative.
