aUTUMN kIOTI + WILDNESS IS NECESSARY

We are all animals 
We are all artists
We are nature

Meet my flock

​I believe we can all truly discover our sense of place and connection to nature through the power of art, observation and the practice of justice across all barriers, including species.
Learn more about Autumn Kioti, STEAM + environmental/social justice programming, and meet a few of the wonderful animals and organizations with which they've had the pleasure of collaborating. 

"The catalyst that converts any physical location--any environment if you will--into a place, is the process of experiencing deeply.  A place is a piece of a whole environment that has been claimed by feelings." 
​-Alan Gussow

Nature-based learning can occur in formal and nonformal education settings - some programs integrating elements of both approaches. Students of all ages and varying abilities can benefit from nature-based learning. Proven benefits of nature-based learning include improved academic performance, cognitive functioning, psychological well-being, and social interactions. Nature-based learning has also proven effective in fostering career-related skills and nature connectedness.
