Today, we are chatting with Kiran Topiwala! Kiran is an artist, someone who is learning to walk the pathway of regeneration, a seeker of the right way to be humans together on Earth.
He believes in the power of collaboration, innovation, and conscious design to create a positive impact on the world.
He is the founder of Kula, which is doing some very inspiring things to make regenerative practices and land connection accessible for more people. He’s also the creative director at Unorthodox publishing, a community art and storytelling initiative.
A pivotal moment in Kiran's life was when he chose as a practicum in his master's program through Emory to work for a grassroots organization in Dharamshala, India called EduCARE.
It was at EduCARE that Kiran met a true community weaver, one might also say landscape leader. This was a man named Harjeet, who has since strongly informed how Kiran thinks about community and landscape regeneration. It was Harjeet that introduced him to “regenerative flows” of value, resources, and connection that run throughout communities everywhere, always available for aware, engaged, and creative weavers to weave with...
Kiran also likes fishing and photography.
