Tree of Life

The Tree of Life was developed by David Denborough and Ncazelo Ncube-Mlilo. It can be a great way to tell a story about the resources in your life.

It's a practice I shared in a workshop with therapists in Ukraine last weekend and some beautiful trees were drawn and then shared to make a forest, connected by mycelial network to share support.

You could draw your tree or create one, as I've done using leaves, twigs and flowers to represent each of the following:

  • Trunk: values, strengths, skills and abilities

  • Ground: the present, where you live, daily routine, work and activities

  • Roots: things that make you strong e.g. cultural heritage, family, friends, places, practices and beliefs

  • Branches: hopes, dreams and wishes

  • Leaves: important people in your life

  • Flowers: gifts you bring to others

  • Fruits: gifts you have been given
