Mu Knowles

At Ecotrust I am the facilitator and operations lead consultant for the Madrona fellowship. I get the great honor to coordinate, co-design, and hold space for BIPOC fellows and alumni working at the intersections of food, land, culture, and climate. I find most joy when cultivating healing-centered experiences where fellows can exist authentically and let their collective brilliance shine. As co-founder and principal consultant at Collective Liberation in Practice I walk alongside organizations, groups, and individuals to build participatory power that nurtures an environment where collective liberation is a shared reality. I co-founded The Practice Zone, a co-creative digital environment for Black and Indigenous artists and I hold space for bio-regional Global Majority-led food systems power-building. I am an emerging thought-leader and practitioner within the cooperative and somatic ecosystems; my craft and contribution strategically convene at the intersections of the arts, popular education, culture, ecology, somatic practice, and land-based liberation.
