Live in harmony with nature

Rakesh Rootsman
My name is Rakesh Rootsman Rak, and I am a UK Citizen and have been a living in multiple countries for 30 years.
For many years, I was defined by what I was against, which eventually led to a wall of total burnout. I realised that while I knew exactly what organisations were doing wrong, I had not yet mastered how to do things right within a community. Since then, I have shifted my focus to building a life and projects that are "for" something, creating systems that are right for humans, animals and Mother Nature.
How I can support you
I specialize in practical self reliance and, more importantly, collaborative working. I can help your community with:
Governance and Harmony: I have helped several eco villages and networks move from the brink of collapse and shouting matches to becoming thriving, loving associations that make good decisions together.
Food Growing: Teaching how to grow food in a way that encourages animals and insects to come and go of their own free will without exploitation.
Self Reliance for Free: Making fermented foods and essentials from scratch, such as creating apple cider vinegar from apple scraps, as well as making soaps, toothpastes and cleaning powders.
Eco Infrastructure: Designing and building houses, stoves and off grid energy systems like solar, wind and pedal power.
My goal is to build a model of governance that feels sustainable. We can achieve our mission without losing ourselves to frustration and burnout.
