Michelle Krieg — On Growing

With a background in ecological rewilding, horticulture, education, and farming, I use diverse mediums to design and facilitate aesthetical and process-based learning programs—inspiring attentive, creative, and ecological ways of being and seeing.
My work is interdisciplinary, using various land, food, craft, and theatre practices to help people sense their wider ecologies and regenerate relational dynamics—helping people see their qualities, patterns, and potentials of engagement.
My focus is on helping schools, universities, and land-based learning centers create spaces for regenerative and future thinking—cultivating new expressions of ecology, economy, identity, and place.
