    Derek Kuykendall | Providence Network

  • "The Deep Roots Collective began just as I was hired as Executive Director.  Although I was terrified to be in the room with so many pillars in the non-profit community, I felt nothing but warmth and belonging from my first luncheon. This space has not only been a place of great wisdom and resource for me, but a safe haven as well."

    Elly Conant | Whiz Kids Tutoring

  • "This thoughtful, faith-filled group of people became my refuge in my most trying season of leadership. I am grateful to have a place to be transformed at the heart level as a leader in this city that I love."

    Adrienne Tafilowski | Mile High WorkShop

  • The Deep Roots Collective has been a huge encouragement to me as a new Executive Director. Every meeting is filled with wisdom and support that helps me navigate the challenges of leadership. I prioritize attending because I leave not only with practical tools I can immediately implement, but also with my soul deeply encouraged. It has become an invaluable space for growth and connection."
