About:

Meet Pascale and Mo, the dynamic duo behind the Art of Adventure. Mo, a native of Pittsburgh, was drawn to the city's luminous Steel City skyline. His art is a vibrant tapestry of color and movement, filling in the gaps where there's a void. Whether capturing the energy of sports, the pulse of the city, or the ebb and flow of water, Mo's mission is always the same, to leave his audience with a smile and a resounding "wow". On the other hand, Pascale is a five-time Emmy award-winning journalist, an Edward R. Murrow Award winner, and a seasoned explorer, storyteller, and digital creator.

She has a passion for inspiring and empowering others, and her latest adventure involves transitioning from leading a team of 90 in a bustling newsroom to a full-time adventurer. For Pascale and Mo, the Art of Adventure is about experiences. Their upcoming grand adventure is a culmination of all the experiences that have shaped them individually and as a team.

Together they are adventurers and travel documentarians who spend many hours exploring the springs and waterways around the state of Florida. Their "Top 5" list of travel destinations and their "Pro Tips" for each adventure are what they are most well-known for.

About Iris Nekeman:

Iris Nekeman entered the realm of regenerative living many years ago during her Master of Science Strategic Leadership in Sweden. Throughout the years she engaged with multiple leadership programs and practices ranging from Theory U to Shamanic Wisdoms.

Last year, her life took some very unexpected turns when she landed at Los Higuerones, a local community hub and regenerative project incubator in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. At Los Higuerones, they work to incubate economic alternatives that strengthen local ties in and between Osa communities in ways that support and embrace diversity, equity, and culture.

Her love for the Osa is undefinable in words. It is something that you can only feel with the heart when she talks about this place that is home to 2.5% of the Earth’s biodiversity. It is a place that is a source of inspiration for others on their own journey toward our compassionate authenticity.

She firmly believes that walking before talking is the most inviting way for others to join the path towards living as regeneratively as possible. Beginning to act as though it has already happened. Beginning to live in the most beautiful world that all our hearts know is possible (Charles Eisenstein).

Therefore, she has integrated as much regenerative principles as she could possibly imagine into her life: Working according to the principles of the gift economy, buying as much local products as possible, almost reducing her need for material and financial capital to the only essentials and taking on many practices that connect the mind, body and spirit to the greater than human world we live with.
