Ken Crouse is a native of Wilkes County, NC where he has lived for
most of his life. He grew up working on a farm that raised cattle,
tobacco, corn, other grains, and a large vegetable patch. Having
always had a love of plants, he went on to study horticulture and
mycology and got involved in the nursery and landscaping business.
Twenty-five years ago, Ken and his wife Cindy bought a place in the
mountains known as Peaceful Valley. At about this time, Ken was
introduced to the concepts of permaculture and decided to adopt
these principles whenever possible. Living and working on the land
allowed him to bring together his plant knowledge and more than forty
years of study devoted to the field of mycology. Peaceful Valley is
now a botanical collection, garden, and food forest where he lives
with his wife Cindy, two cats, and a small flock of chickens. Ken often
teaches classes on mushroom identification and cultivation as well as
permaculture topics.Big thanks to our sponsor The Apricot Grove!

Henry Andrews stumbled into interactive theater and performance in 2015, and became enamored of its ability to invite people into meaningful authentic experiences. He performed with Barron Scott Levkoff’s Mystic Midway over the next several years and became involved with several other interactive projects in the San Francisco Bay Area. These experiences eventually combined with his interests in metamodern philosophy, Gravesian developmental theory, and Batesonian warm data in the form of HELLAMETAMODERNISM, an experiential approach to metamodernism. With an intentionally ridiculous name derived from an art project for an interactive theatrical party, HELLAMETAMODERNISM is a still-emerging set of concepts that brings our attention to the power of shared experience, while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously along the way.

Bringing an infectious warmth and playful levity
wherever she goes, Monica Rodgers is a tireless
advocate for the full actualization of women,
inspiring women everywhere that saying “YES to
the MESS” is the missing link to self-love and
personal awakening.From Monica: Patriarchy impacts all people, regardless of gender, all over the world.
This unjust construct is defined by the dictionary as a "system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it” has caused inestimable harm throughout the centuries, and yet we learn almost nothing about it in school. Deconstructing patriarchy in our minds, relationships, and communities benefits everyone because in doing so, we stop perpetuating the unconscious generational cycle that keeps the system in place. Manbox: A term that researchers use to describe the dominant form of masculinity in the United States at this time is known as Hegemonic Masculinity, which Mark Greeneand others have described as the “Man Box.” The term implies a rigid set of expectations, perceptions, and behaviors of what is “manly” behavior.Big thanks to our sponsor The Apricot Grove!
