WELCOME TO SERIAN SANCTUARY

Serian Sanctuary is the physical site of fromtheroots.

Serian Sanctuary is a sanctuary space in Sultan Hamud, Eastern Kenya that invites beauty and slowing down in order to restore the value of beings (humans, soil, grass, indigenous livestock, etc.) who have long been devalued and extracted from by dominant systems.

The project is on 10 acres in a semiarid area and will host courses, un/learning immersions, rituals, gatherings, an indigenous food restaurant and spaces for creativity. 

Serian is also a land restoration project that will mirror the whole person-whole community repair work we do in fromtheroots through our courses, ritual work, exchanges, and publications.

The vision for Serian is for us to practise regenerative living, decisionmaking, and relating all guided by and in communion with the land.

As the land is restored into full productivity and creativity, we as humans working with the land are also being restored into our full creativity as beings who have agency to shape the world towards more Life.

fromtheroots is a space to unlearn the patterns of powerlessness, apathy and separation that colonialism has taught us and Serian Sanctuary will be an active teacher in this.
