Roots
Our mission is to facilitate physical, spiritual, and planetary recovery - a recovery of health, clear view, and a deeper sense of what it means to be human in a more-than-human world.
We believe in building bridges between the sciences, arts, humanities, and traditional forms of knowledge, recognising that the pursuit of wisdom is guided by collaboration across diverse fields of inquiry.
Our work is grounded in lineage wisdom, robust scholarship, and critical inquiry.
Our Founder
Erik Jampa Andersson, MA, is an Environmental Historian, Tibetologist, and the author of Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human (Hay House, 2023). A Buddhist practitioner of 20 years, Erik is also a classically trained Tibetan Medicine practitioner and teacher, and a specialist in Buddhist eco-daemonology.
Erik’s academic research bridges History and Cultural Ecologies, focusing on human relationships with other-than-human beings, and the critical intersection of ecology, mythology, health, and spirituality.
In addition to public courses and media content, Erik offers online mentorship and private consultations for students and clients around the world.
