Bios
Michelle Auerbach: Michelle Auerbach is in the business of saving lives and increasing bravery. When things fall apart, Michelle is the world builder and a community maker who uses all her geeky skills to transform what we’ve got to work with into a more just and loving place where more people get taken care of better. She holds an MFA in prose writing from Naropa University and is completing her PhD in Transformational Leadership with her dissertation on story as a technology for trauma aware change for individuals, organizations, and communities. She has published two novels, The Third Kind of Horse about life during the AIDS crisis in NYC in the 1980’s and Alice Modern which deals with Nazi era Vienna and the desire to break free of old worlds that no longer serve. Both books are lenses through which to see the crucible of redemption and transformation. Her first nonfiction book is Resilience: The Life Saving Skill of Story. She writes for the New York Times, the London Guardian, and Sunset Magazine as well as editing and ghost writing for several publishers and publications.
Nicole Civita is a human, mother, partner, and friend who is preoccupied with the possible and works like hell to bring its most beautiful bits into being. She’s a shapeshifter who has, over the course of her career, taken form as an educator, pracademic, ethicist, attorney, administrator, mentor, author, advocate, and consultant.
Often, though not always, she’s focused her work on shaping change in and through the food system. Nicole’s efforts propelled multi-year projects to drastically reduce food waste, revitalize regional food systems, seek justice for agricultural and food workers, explore ethical dilemmas across the food chain,
and develop systems-aware, equity-enhancing laws and policies.
studies, many experts urge examination of the food system from farm-to-fork. Nicole has always preferred to think about the food system from ecosystem-through-farm-to-community. Even more conceptually, she imagines a path guided by ethics that leads to relationship.
