✨️ Meet the team ✨️

"Hey, my names Jay Edwards and I live on the outskirts of South East London, with my wifey and children. I work within both Roots to the Future, and Building New Earth. I developed the websites, and handle the day to day management of the sites back office, I also manage the customer support side of things. Beside that I do a bit of everything within the organisations, to support other team members, and further progress our vision. Having known Tom for many many years, I was honoured when he asked me to join him on this journey a few months ago 🙏🏼

Now to see how our team has grown from a few into a family of like minded, talented, forward thinking people, makes me proud to the core. I came to work at Roots firstly because a good friend, with an amazing dream came and asked me. I could see the dream, and the possibilities, and the opportunities to offer children and adults the chance to learn in a different way. The majority of us went through the national curriculum in some format, and I'm sure many of you as adults realise how outdated it is. They're not teaching our children to be responsible, self reflective, grounded, patient and understanding people. They're coaching them into being docile worker bees, who won't question why, or prod the hives outer shell. Too tentative, and afraid to challenge the status quo ❌️

At Roots we're not about that. We want questions, we want challenges, we want you to ask why. Critical thought, analytical processes, constructive debate, skill based practical learning is all needed in the modern world, seemingly that has been forgotten in this generation, ever reliant on the shiny mini computer in the hand. Instead, put the phone down, go and sit outside, walk in a field, pick up a ladybug, climb a tree, swim in a river, and ask yourself 'why' 🌳

Some of you will have spoken to me via email, or the website, and I'm sure I'll meet plenty of you at our events. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm not one for talking about myself often, but Tommy has made me realise, we need to just put ourselves out there.

See you all soon

Jay" 💚

#Spirituality is not something you can gain or lose. It is not something you can stop being or get wrong. It is not something you can give away or that only certain people have.

The truth is every single person on this planet is a spiritual being. We are magnificent, eternal, and powerful entities that are experiencing the physical and human realm in order to work through karmic law. By doing so, we free ourselves of impurities so that we can evolve to explore the cosmos and beyond.

You may wonder why don't I know this? Why can't I feel my divinity and power? Well to put it simply you have forgotten. We have been suffering from the world being asleep, the longest sleep that can befall spirit. However now it's time to WAKE UP.

We are under the illusion that we are small and conditioned to feel so. Wrapped in a human body, with a mind that we call " ME", trapped in the cycle of rebirth for the longest of time. Now we can finally hear the song of the Great Spirit calling to us to rise up above our human condition, take our place in this New Earth, and recognise our power.

What is this song? It is vibration. As our vibration rises we are drawn towards our maker and drawn towards all the other souls who have heard its call. There is a conscious energy that is in everything and is everything. You cannot name it but you can see it and feel it, breathe it in and touch it. It is the very reason for existence because it is existence itself.

It is you and you are it, you can never be separated from it or stop being it. You are a spark of the infinite, a droplet of consciousness from the great absolute all. You are not the body, nor are not the mind. Remember who you are and take back your power.🙏

📢 Announcement! 📢
