Straw-Death: A Deeply Rooted Church Blog
Welcome!
Welcome to “Straw-Death”: A Deeply Rooted Church Blog that reflects a slice of life from some of the caretakers living at Deeply Rooted, a gorgeous 160 acre off-grid intentional community and Pagan church set against the backdrop of rural Athens, Wisconsin.

The views expressed on this page are soley those of myself (Quill) and my partner Shawni, and the guest writers and do not reflect the views of the rest of the church and its members.
Together, we’re sharing our journey from our lives before Deeply Rooted, our healing, and us making a home at the church.
Please be sure to check out our “About” section for more information about us, the blog, and what we’re trying to accomplish.

Deeply Rooted is 25 years old now. We have weathered drama, break ups, and all kinds of human error too numerous to list here without it sounding like some kind of roast-fest. We have, however, taken every opportunity to grow - much like an adult at 25 and not a whining kid expecting the parent to clean up their mess.
This article illustrates what we can do to break the current system and employ our collective energies to manifest a space that may be a work in progress - however, it may be something worth loving and fighting for… do you want that?
