Rootless International Women Group

Mariana is a vital part of a broad and dynamic network of international women artists who are actively exploring and expressing the rich diversity of life through various forms of art.

Through our individual creativity we develop ways or forms of art which connect us to each other. Using the female perspective we explore the diversity and the unifying commonalities of the theme of “rootless“

Tree Sisters

Imagine a reforestation revolution ignited by the shared creativity and courage of a global network of millions of women.

TreeSisters is a non-profit organisation aiming to radically accelerate tropical reforestation by engaging the unique feminine consciousness, gifts and leadership of women everywhere and focusing it towards global action.

TreeSisters are planting over a million trees a year, and they are now calling for women to plant a billion trees a year, by becoming a treesister and contributing monthly to tropical reforestation.
