Authenticity Speaks Volumes: Mikaylo Kelly

Mikaylo Kelly on blossoming.

Remarkably wise for his age, Mikaylo exudes the most loving, open vibes. I knew I liked him the moment I met him, and even though I only knew him briefly in real life, I had no doubt when I conceived of this interview series that I wanted to get him involved. In this conversation, we talk about:

• Identity, meaning

• Conserve School

• Depression/partying versus the flow of nature and being alone

• Meditation, yoga

• Urban agriculture

• Dharma brats

• Vipassana meditation

• the “real world” (societal construct) compared with living in nature

• Experiential education

• Nourishment

• Activism, Dakota Access Pipeline

• Gender issues, power hierarchies

• Desensitization

• Questioning social constructs

• Cultural appropriation

• Messiness of racial identity

You can find Mikaylo on his Facebook page.
