The Root Cellar
The Root Cellar is a quiet place, underground, where you can rest in the cool shade and allow your mind to wonder. What is it that sparks your curiosity? How can you get down to the root of the problems you wish to solve? What do you want to understand better? What do you feed your mind?
This Root Cellar stores some of my favorite writers, creators, community leaders and partners, who have contributed to the development of One Rise. I encourage you to spend some time in your own root cellar and contemplate the ideas that have taken root.
