Casey Brown served as Executive Public Relations Officer for the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin, where he won an Emmy for the film Exploring the Artistic Process of Truman Lowe. A lifelong advocate for American Indian rights, Casey is a filmmaker, comedian & musician. He is currently working on Indian Mounds in a Year, a documentary on Indigenous earthworks from a Native perspective. His presentation at Crosscurrents Heritage Center will take place in the Old Coumbe House which was built in 1863.
Colleen Robinson is a Master Naturalist and a lifelong student of this living earth. During the pandemic she earned her Mindful Outdoor Guide Certification, discovering the missing piece in her environmental education and communications career. In her work, she helps others reawaken and nurture their inherent connection to natural context by sharing simple, daily practices.
She describes herself as a scientist who also supports tapping into an “other way of knowing” that is less about mastery and more about giving yourself the time and space to listen, experience, and remember how much your body already knows about trees, water, other critters, and rocks. In her free time she plays bass in several bluegrass bands.
Colleen’s “Walk of Reconnection” at Crosscurrents will take place in a woodlot that has never been clear cut, and is home to oaks over 300 years old, and the red headed woodpeckers which is a species of special concern in Wisconsin due to its declining population.
A note about dogs: We love dogs, but this is a working farm. For the safety of your dogs, the other animals on our farm, and our other guests, please leave your dogs at home. Contact us by email if you require a service dog, and we can discuss accommodations. Thank you!
Crosscurrent’s 2025 events are supported by grants from the Richland County Campus Foundation, Greater Richland Tourism, and The Three Eagles Foundation, and by generous donations from individuals.
