Rimi Chakraborty and Samantha Anderson have come together to create
Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience

We share a love for nature, a belief in the strength of embodied conscious leadership, and a commitment to a life of sustainability, health and wellness. We have come together in search of our authentic selves, connected by love for the earth that we respect and revere. Together, and in the words of Sharon Blackie, "we rise up, rooted like trees... (to) save not only ourselves, but the world."
