Discover how the natural world can deepen, soften, and strengthen your advocacy. Rooted in Respect is an uplifting session designed for vegan advocates and nature lovers who want to communicate compassion in a welcoming, grounded, and truly resonant way.

Facilitator Mariquita Solis will guide you through an inspiring journey into the interconnectedness of life. Together, we’ll explore how stories from nature like the quiet communication of fungal networks or the cooperative lives of animals—can make our message of compassion feel more relatable and emotionally meaningful.

You’ll learn gentle, nature-centered language that opens hearts instead of closing them: phrases like ecosystem resilience and planetary health that help others connect with your values from a place of curiosity rather than resistance. You’ll also gather simple examples from the natural world that you can easily weave into everyday conversations.

By the end, you’ll feel more grounded, confident, and inspired—ready to let nature speak through your advocacy in a way that feels warm, authentic, and deeply aligned with your compassion.
