The Gifting Grove community is inspired by the interconnectedness of a forest, where each member is like a tree—rooted in their unique gifts and contributions. Just as a forest thrives through mutual support, our community flourishes when individuals grow and share their gifts. All flourishing is mutual. Meet the members who make up our Grove!

Our MemberTree Levels
In a forest, trees of all ages and sizes are interconnected through an underground mycorrhizal network—a web of mycelium, the root-like structure of mushrooms, that links trees through their roots. This network enables trees to share excess nutrients, supporting both one another and the fungi that sustain the system.
Just as trees naturally give and receive based on their capacity and needs, our community follows this model of reciprocity. Some may have more to give, while others may need more support at different times, ensuring that the entire Grove flourishes together.
Sapling
