What's Your Tree Group Leaders: Taken at our Group Leader Retreat in August, 2008What's Your Tree was created in 2006 by Julia Butterfly Hill and a team of community organizers, business leaders and educators.

Our goal is to create an international network of small groups that heal the world.

What’s Your Tree, and its parent organization, The Engage Network, understands that peace, justice, spiritual fulfillment and environmental renewal starts in our own families, our own communities and our own backyards.

The program is inspired by Julia Butterfly Hill's story of her well-publicized 2- year tree sit atop Luna, a 1,000+ year old redwood in Northern California. Julia's action required her to expand beyond the boundaries of who she knew herself to be. It required her to lead in a way she had never done before.

What's Your Tree builds on Julia's story and asks the question: What calls YOU to be bigger and more powerful than you ever imagined? What cause is so important to you that you will go outside of your comfort zone to achieve it? What purpose are you willing to use your life to fulfill? In other words: What is YOUR tree?

What's Your Tree was designed for a wide range of people with a diversity of backgrounds.

• People who want a deeper sense of purpose and stronger focus for their lives.
• People who want to make a difference in their community or in the world but aren't quite sure where to start.
• People who have been making a difference for a long time and are burnt out, overwhelmed or who have lost their passion.
• People who know that their impact will be multiplied exponentially (and they will have a lot more fun) if they are in a community of like-minded people.

We hope you will join us in a What's Your Tree group in your area.
