InterRooted
Rooting leaders. Growing cooperative organizations. Nourishing communities with love.
Coaching, consulting, and facilitation for values-driven leaders and organizations, cooperatives and collaboratives building a more just, regenerative, creative world.
Walking alongside leaders, organizations, and communities
For over two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of inner transformation and collective change — coaching leaders through pivotal moments, consulting with organizations and cooperatives seeking to evolve, facilitating collaborative conversations, and helping communities to grow and thrive
My work is grounded in core beliefs: that power is most alive when it’s shared, that process matters as much as outcome, we are all creative and wise, and that the best work emerges from deep listening — to ourselves, to each other, to the earth, and to the moment we’re in.
Whether you’re a leader looking for support and grounding, an organization or cooperative ready to evolve, a collaborative ready to grow something new, or a team preparing for a pivotal gathering — I’d love to walk alongside you.
Coaching
For leaders, men, and professionals in transition.
Grounded, holistic coaching journeys for those navigating complexity — in leadership, identity, or career. Whether you’re a founder holding a bold vision, a man exploring a more integrated way of being, or a professional feeling the pull toward what’s next, these are heart-centered containers for real transformation.
Consulting
For nonprofits, cooperatives, collaboratives, foundations, and mission-driven businesses.
Strategic support for organizations and collaboratives ready to evolve — in structure, culture, strategy, or impact. I bring twenty years of experience in cooperative development, collaborative governance, food systems, community spaces, and systems change work, paired with a commitment to co-creating solutions that actually fit your context.
Facilitation
For teams, networks, and communities.
Thoughtfully designed gatherings — retreats, strategic planning sessions, workshops, visioning processes, and collaborative convenings — that break the mold of traditional meetings and create real space for people to think, relate, and decide together.
Upcoming Retreat: Staying Rooted While the Ground Shifts
A one-day outdoor retreat | May 13 | Celebration Tree Farm, Durham, ME
An invitation to slow down and tend to what’s most essential — in your work, your leadership, and your life — amid a world that keeps asking us to move faster. Co-facilitated with Laura King.
Jonah Fertig-Burd, InterRooted
Hi, I’m Jonah
I’m a coach, consultant, facilitator, chef and community organizer based in Maine. Over the past two decades, I’ve helped start cooperatives, build nonprofits, co-found a worker-owned café, and supported leaders and organizations across the Northeast in building work that’s rooted in values and alive with possibility.
When I’m not coaching or consulting, you’ll likely find me at Celebration Tree Farm Wellness Center, where I’m a worker-owner; cooking; making art or music; cooking a delicious meal; or spending time with my family.

Let’s talk
Curious whether coaching, consulting, or facilitation is the right fit? I’d love to hear what’s alive for you.
