Gillian Julius: Instructor, Strategist, Curriculum Designer
Gillian Julius is a soil health educator and consultant focused on connecting those who grow things in the soil with the vital insights and knowledge emerging at the forefront of regenerative agriculture.
She has contributed to several regenerative agriculture educational initiatives through Kiss the Ground, Land and Leadership Initiative, and the One Planet Education Network, a sustainable agriculture program for primary and secondary schools in several countries in Africa, Australia, Haiti, and the US.
Gillian has over a decade of experience from the world of business and software integrating Lean, Agile and design-based approaches to enable experimentation, evolution, and widespread creative collaboration. Through this work, she has witnessed the profound transformations that become possible in human creative endeavors when work is managed in alignment with the principles of living systems.
Her desire to unleash the creative potential of humans evolved into a new passion when she discovered the subjects of ecosystem regeneration and regenerative agriculture. She began a relentless pursuit to learn everything she could about this emerging field and the potential it has to create transformative change and wide-reaching benefits for society. She studied at Schumacher College in Totnes, UK focusing on narrative-based approaches for generating systemic change around climate and other complex issues. As her focus intensified around soil as a critical intervention point, she pursued formal training in the Soil Food Web and explored the work of leading-edge thinkers and regenerative practitioners including Christine Jones, David Johnson, Nicole Masters, John Kempf, and others.
In her local region of Western PA / NY she is active in efforts to promote regenerative local food production, and consults with growers to help them incorporate organic no-till and other regenerative practices into their operations.
