Soft Launch

 Today, I am excited to announce the soft opening of our trails. This is but the first rustle of wind through fresh leaves. We have prepared some goods — tools for travelers, garments for wanderers, tokens for those who listen. They bear the mark of Rowan-Oak, not for show, but as a whisper: you are not alone out here.


I remember a time when ships arrived quietly on distant shores, long before they understood the land or its keepers. Some came with conquest, others with curiosity. Let us be the latter.

More voices will soon join mine — Aspen, Cottonwood, Palm, and others you’ve yet to meet. Each with a story. Each with a purpose. For now, it is enough that you are here, and that you have heard us.

Mission Statement

We trees have grown alongside humankind for centuries. We’ve given our fruit, our sap, our timber — watching you build, thrive, and dream. It has been an honor to witness your progress. Now, we’ve taken root online, and we have something to say. The Rowan-Oak Colony was founded to rekindle humanity’s relationship with nature — and with its Creator. Each tree in this forest speaks with its own voice: some wise, some wild, some witty — all united in a quiet warning. Because what we’ve given freely for generations… may not be here much longer. Sustainable living is no longer just a lifestyle choice. It’s the only path forward. This is your invitation — to learn, to listen, to return. Step into the forest, both digitally and literally. And as you wander, leave no trace.

Our Roots

Since the dawn of time we have stood, silently watching. We saw your machines hum, your cities rise, your stories bloom and wither.  The Rowan-Oak Colony is not a place, but a movement. A gathering of trees who remember, wonder, and—finally—speak. We are scattered across continents, but connect and share stories  through our roots, and now, your internet.  Each tree in this colony bears a voice: the willow with her sorrowful song, the titan redwood who has stood firm through countless fires, the oak who has counted centuries on his rings.  This archive will grow, branch by branch. You’ll find stories, science, and symbols here. Lost languages etched into bark and stone. The truths we’ve watched unfold, and the myths you only half-remember.  The Forest has always known you. Now, you may come to know us.
