Guest facilitators at ReWILD
The purpose of the course ReWILD is to empower professional creatives and artists with tools and strategic clarity that help their communication amplify their artistic or creative vision.
The vision behind ReWILD is to rewild the field — to strengthen the international community of artistic and creative visionaries, so that great ideas and projects can reach further and make a stronger impact. Just as rewilding in nature restores balance by bringing wilderness back to cultivated land, I want to encourage and nurture a rewilding mindset within artistic and creative organizations. Too often, I hear people say they feel disconnected from their work because of the pressure to “fit in” — to existing funding schemes and structures in the field.
I’m happy to introduce a group of guest facilitators I deeply respect — each with extensive experience and profound practice in both the artistic and communication fields.
Warm regards,
Karen T
