​Kelly Alexandra Stefanski is an intersectional environmentalist, social, and spiritual activist, multidisciplinary artist, writer, photographer, biologist, water resource engineer, and somatic guide based in the Hudson Valley in New York. She integrates a whole systems approach to the problems affecting all life on Earth, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Solutions with a devotion and reverence for the wellbeing of the natural world, people, and more than human species that inhabit it to restore harmony and balance. Kelly’s work explores the intersectionality between the environmental, social, and spiritual. Her background in art and sciences led her to decolonization work, witnessing common themes that stemmed from a lack of relationality and reciprocity harming our connection to ourselves, the planet, and each other. Healing these fragments in ourselves as a part of our collective role in healing and reconnecting to Great Mother, sacred waters, wise old growth forests, and healed ancestors, they are all inextricably connected. We are earth. Her work is ecological and somatic, exploring dreams through the body, the inner landscape, and the context in which they arise, the outer landscapes, building relationships with emotions so we have greater capacity to feel and be with all that is here. 

Her academic work in Biology and Environmental Engineering examined the integration of systems engineering, socio-economics, ecology, and public policy issues posed by the need to manage water and land resources. She has four years public, private, and non-profit work experience centered around community engagement, social justice, sustainability, human health, and ecosystems restoration. At Cornell and upon graduation, she researched and volunteered with the non-profit AguaClara Reach, an organization providing gravity fed water treatment technology solutions for global safe water access. The further her work explored technology and systems, the closer her curiosity led her to the very people that make up systems, that are impacted by the problems, and how our solutions require a more humanized approach that looks at human and environmental health as connected. To study these issues we need an embodied scientific method, understanding that we are not separate from 0ur problems, which don't require a more technical approach, but a way of being in right relationship with ourselves, others, and the environment. These realizations and a natural upending of the life she knew led her to realize her journey was the destination, dropping into the ever present now and all that is right here. She has spent the past year living in a cabin in the woods studying plants, fungi, ecofeminism and somatics. Exploring inner and outer entangled worlds. The hope of this site is to inspire creativity, remember that we aren't separate from nature or one another, and to reimagine a future and reconstruct a new reality.
