Sara Jecko is a musician, mom, performer, educator, and ecopsychologist in the Hudson Valley.
Her work focuses on inviting our wildly creative nature to re-establish authentic and flourishing relationships with ourselves, and with the rest of life on Earth.
Sara’s private practice –> small organization, Inviting Wildness, runs workshops and events that cultivate wildlife advocacy through arts-based and ecopsychological education for all ages. One of these events, “Wilder”, is coming up in May at Keegan Ales, and aims to raise awareness and funds for cetacean sanctuaries!
She is enthralled by the wild and what wildness means to us, feels at home on stage yet weird about showbiz, and is especially moved to help free animals from exploitative captivity.
Today we speak about Sara’s background and experience as a music maker and teacher, how she became interested in “the wild” and cetaceans, and all about her work to help children and adults relate to the earth and it’s inhabitants and step into their own wildness. Plus she plays some of her music for us!
You can find the Tom Pretty’s upcoming performances here, and more about Inviting Wildness happenings on Instagram.
Some special local events: Hudson Valley Women in Business, 10 year Anniversary Celebration, Wednesday March 5th at the Upstate Table.
