Our Emblem—The Tree of Life
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the symbol of the tree of life. Yggdrasil reaches deeply into the earth and high into the sky, binding Earth, Hell, and Heaven together, as one. We chose the name Root & Sky in honour of Life and the miracle of being alive. We believe that only when our footing is strong and solid like a root—can we reach the highest of heights in our lives—the sky, full of infinite possibilities and perspectives.
Our values are Love, Goodness, Gratitude, and Connection.
We lead with our hearts and live through our values in all that we do. Root & Sky cherishes the Earth, the living things upon it, and we celebrate the moments we get to spend co-existing in this phenomenal universe.
