• Roots and Branches 2027: Application

    Apply for a place in the three-day Global Majority family constellations intensive in San Lorenzo, California, March 19 to 21, 2027. Applying does not hold a place. If we can offer you a place, we will send you a link to confirm it.

  • How this works

    1. Apply by November 22, 2026 for first consideration. Everyone applies with this one form, including people asking for a scholarship or reduced contribution.
    2. Hear from us by November 28, 2026. We will let you know whether we can offer you a place. If you asked for a scholarship, we will also share the contribution we can offer.
    3. Confirm your place by December 10, 2026, using the link in your invitation, with a $100 deposit or your full contribution. The balance is due by February 1, 2027.

    Sending this application does not hold a place. Places are limited, and we anticipate a cohort of 15 to 25 people. If we have not received your deposit by December 10, we may offer your place to someone else.

  • About You

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.

  • This Is a Global Majority Affinity Space

  • This weekend is for people who identify as part of the Global Majority. If you identify as Global Majority and are perceived as white or have significant access to white privilege, we invite you to consider carefully whether this is the right affinity space for you.
  • Do you identify as part of the Global Majority?*

  • Your Experience

  • What is your experience with constellation work?*
  • Have you worked with either of us before?
  • We hold optional facilitator development time on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30pm, for participants with constellation experience who are also interested in becoming constellation facilitators. Are you interested?*
  • Would you like to enter the seeker lottery to bring a constellation of your own? For now, we are gauging interest. More information about the lottery will be shared closer to the intensive.

  • Pay It Forward Contribution

  • Producing this intensive costs approximately $14,000, and a gift from the estate of Marc Scruggs covers that in full. What you contribute goes into a seed fund for the next Global Majority Constellations cohort.
  • Choose the contribution level that fits your situation.*

  • Scholarship and Reduced Contribution

    Thank you for telling us what you need. Asking for support can take courage. Share only what feels right to share.
  • Have you received a scholarship from Roxy before?

  • We prioritize scholarships for people who have not received one from us before, and who are part of these communities:

    • People who, though in the Global Majority, are under-represented in positions of institutional power because of racialized discrimination and its direct and indirect impacts
    • People with disabilities or non-dominant communication styles
    • People who live and love outside the dominant norms of cis-gendered, binary, straight, monogamous relationships to sexuality and gender
    • People whose access to money and resources is restricted through intergenerational poverty and/or trauma
    • People without U.S. citizenship status, who are directly affected by U.S. foreign and domestic policy, including the many Indigenous peoples of these lands

    (Language crafted by the BayNVC All Voices Fund.)

  • We try to relate to money in line with our values of considering everyone's needs. Contributions help meet our needs for sustainability, and they also give us a way to include as many people as we can, whatever their financial means. Our sliding scales work when people who have more give more, so that people with less can still be in the room. At the same time, we ask that each person give no more than they would enjoy giving.

    Finding your place on the scale

    There is no income test. We trust you to look honestly at your situation. These questions may help:

    • Can you meet your basic needs, like housing, food, health care, and transportation, without worry?
    • Could you cover an unexpected expense of a few hundred dollars without going into debt?
    • Do you have savings, own your home, or have other assets?
    • Do you have access to family wealth or support, an inheritance now or in the future, or an owning-class or upper-middle-class background, even if your income right now is low?
    • Do you support children, elders, or other family members?
    • Does debt limit your ability to meet your basic needs?
    • How have racism, disability, immigration status, or other systemic barriers shaped your access to income and wealth?

    It can help to notice the difference between sacrifice and hardship. Paying a little more than feels easy may be a stretch you can make. If paying would keep you from meeting your basic needs, please ask for what you need. If the contribution is beyond your means and you believe this program will benefit you and your communities, we hope you will apply. We will do our best to include you.

  • Would a payment plan help you?

  • Access, Food, and the Space

  • The intensive is held in a private home. There are three steps to enter the house and two more steps down to the room where we meet. There is one accessible bathroom and a second bathroom that is not accessible. Parking is on the street. We keep the space scent-free. The exact address goes out one month before the intensive.

  • Photos, Quotes, and Staying in Touch

    We would love to share what this work means to participants. We prefer quotes to photos. You can change your mind at any time by writing to Alejandra Delgado at alejandra@roxannemanning.com.
  • May we use photos that include you?*
  • May we share something you write or say about the weekend?*
