Overview
Rhiza is a women-led collective that uses storytelling, healing, organizing, and research to support social transformation and environmental justice. In the natural world, roots are key to protection, regeneration, and longevity. At Rhiza (from the Greek “ῥίζα” meaning “to root”), we believe that building the new roots and shoots to effectively shift our environment and society requires beginning with cultivation from within. We use a collaborative, narrative-based process that combines the power of research, storytelling, and organizing. Our integrated model allows us to work closely with partners to design interventions at four strategic levels: healing and community transformation, organizational development, movement-building across networks, and power-shifting in larger society.
