Al Mason is a lifelong student of the Earth, having formed an intimate relationship with the natural world in her childhood which continues to deepen today.

Her experiences as an ecological landscape designer, community herbalist, and permaculture educator have attuned her to the vegetal world and ways that plants can be some of our greatest teachers and healers. Her experience as a hatha yoga teacher and yoga nidra guide have unlocked ideas and modalities as to how we can tune into the subtle messages of our bodies and minds, in order to live in a greater state of coherence and experience liberation both physically and mentally.

Allie has made home and worked around the globe throughout her career, and she currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina. She lives in the city in a tiny house with her dog, exploring everyday lived urban permaculture and how to "stay with the trouble" of climate change's impact on our built and social environments in the southeast bioregion.

Robbie is focused on the complex and sacred  ethnogaian relationships. First finding sacrament in contemplation, Robbie quickly found it in the natural world.

Since then, relationship with Earth has fueled his soul from urban to rural contexts. Formally trained in anthropology, psychology, philosophy, literature, agricultural management, education, and permaculture design, Bob has also lived off the land from lowland Panama to Whitehorse, YT. All the while Robbie emphasizes mycology via clubs and vocation, working in specialty mushroom farming while living in Montreal, QC. 
 

The contemplative practices including meditation, prayer, dreamwork, writing, breathwork, and counseling infuse and support all aspects of Robbie's life. Always learning and exploring, Bob is deepening an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga practice, microscopy skills, and learning languages including Spanish, French, Kanien'keha, Latin, and Japanese.

He seeks to explore the healing aspects of ethnogaian relationship in group therapeutic contexts. 

As a soil ecologist and life giver, artemisia works hard to dismantle the mainstream narrative that humans are purely a negative influence on the earth.  By deconstructing colonialism and reimagining daily life to be in community with humans and non-human kin, artemisia successfully demonstrates that we can design our life to be a positive influence on the Earth, not destructive. 

​artemisia is informed by her worldwide travel since the age of 8, including long-distance bicycle touring and sailing. She is a permaculture designer and educator and is finishing her PhD in soil ecology. Working with Gaia’s carbon and nutrient cycles, artemisia relates the interconnectedness of all beings, pratityasamutpada, with the great privilege that humans have to support life with nutrients from our own living bodies today and then through death to nourish future descendents. She strives to help others deepen their connection with their ancestors and their path to being a good ancestor. Through ritual and the eight limbs of yoga, including pranayama (breath work), asanas and meditation, artemisia integrates her awareness of soil organisms with her responsibility for helping life grow. artemisia enjoys sharing these daily practices with others so that they too can live into being the fullest human possible by feeling gratitude for the privilege of having the gift of life-giving.
