BIRCH

BIRCH stands for the Broader Intra-Reclaiming Communities Hub. It was consensed on as an organizing and networking system for the Reclaiming Tradition at the 2006 Dandelion Gathering. One of the fantastic things about BIRCH is that there are so many new ways to get connected within the Reclaiming Tradition - from attending a gathering to joining a workgroup to creating your own interest group.

For more information on BIRCH, check out the official page on Reclaiming's website.
