Great Lakes Land Gatherings

Bringing people together to share personal experiences of Great Lakes lands and places.

These gatherings bring people together to talk, create, and imagine new relationships to the lands and places of the Great Lakes basin. In this region, diverse place histories and massive geographic scale come together in a uniquely cohesive identity. The basin offers a remarkable opportunity to bring land into conversation - land that is currently undergoing great change. As basin inhabitants, we know these dynamics well.

Cultivating connection

 Through years of making and teaching, Ursula and Margot have developed an array of methods for bringing people into closer connection with the living world. At Land Culture Workshop, we collaborate with community groups and organizations to develop and host conversations and workshops about land, from art-based explorations to reflections on values and practices.

Visual Collaborations




Engaging imagery to show complex dynamics
Drawings are excellent at communicating: expressing and explaining intricate living relationships. They also enable discovery: through the process of visualization, a site’s characteristics become clearer, a project’s parameters more definable. We work with people to visualize sites and living systems, for a range of uses: from small projects to large, private to public.
