Our staff

YEAR ONE our goal is to provide safe and connective environment for BIPGM hand makers to gather together and sell our art.

YEAR TWO our goals are to improve our resources and knowledge sharing to provide a boost to us as creative entrepreneurs. This will involve workshop videos and hopes for sponsorship to provide funding to our time making the videos and the creatives for teaching. We plan for theses videos to be accessible to all.  Another part of video projects is to share stories of BIPGM artists, what calls them to their work and how people can show appreciation and not appropriation. We hope to get more partnership and sponsorship to supply financial support to both parties in these programs. 

YEAR THREE we plan to hold afterschool creative entrepreneur classes for native foster youth in the Seattle and surrounding areas. We would love funding to support our artists/teachers & organizers while giving free access to youth.  Being able to have fulltime access to a creative cultural care center is needed and we will spend this year working towards fundraising. Our vision is to create safe space for consistent BIPGM makers pop ups, classes, healing ceremonies, plant growing, herb sharing, workshop share with art tools. 

YEAR FOUR our goals are to continue our markets, classes, workshop videos and growth towards connective and healing spaces. While growing a network of shared spaces with community. Growing goods and sharing them with a community built restaurant that invites you harvest your own herbs and ingredients to feed your body for health and not just taste. Café type space that invites drinks being made by herbalists and connect to earth and our seasons. As well as creating safe lodging for traveling BIPGM artists to visit.

YEAR FIVE our goal is to have a connective way for folks to take turns coming to live on the connective community space. Learn, grow and take these learnings to other lands to share. 

 We are Heartful Rootz, an accessible, inclusive BIPGM-led market community centered on the conscious overcoming of injustice, unity and evolution. We have a commitment to providing radically progressive support for makers, farmers, artists, staff and volunteers who seek to co-conspire with our pursuit of collective liberation. 

In opposition to the status quo, we acknowledge that our deepest act of love for one another begins with the HEART; the part of ourselves that yearns to uproot the effects of colonialism and imperialism to return to our roots as care-holders and stewards of this earth. 

We are committed to authentically connecting with our communities, providing safe, affirming and supportive networks that will bring growth, renewal and revival. Starting with the Seattle metro area, we seek to expand these efforts throughout Washington state and continue this mission on the west coast.
