Meet the stewards of the Southern Guidestones for a Brave, Ready World:
Kristina
Kristina often wonders if she was born too early or too late in history. As a Perspective Alchemist, she blends the ancient wisdom of energetic practices with the inspiration and intuition of the present to craft a transformative recipe for personal and collective evolution. Through her work as a coach and channel, Kristina has discovered that the only way to truly shift our world is by transforming reality on all levels—inner, familial, and communal.
A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a dual degree in Chemistry and International Relations, Kristina has served on co-op boards, executive teams, environmental councils, and alumni boards. She now resides in Milledgeville on her small piece of Faery Heaven, where she lives with her husband, two children, a dog, cats, a snake, fish, and a host of other beings.
Megan
Megan is a Georgia native, born and raised, and currently resides in Milledgeville. With an Ecology degree from UGA that specialized in sustainable agriculture and years of experience working on organic farms, she hopes to share some of her knowledge, tips, and tricks with others. As a gardener and backyard chicken mama, she loves to dabble in all things sustainable. She is also a proud, boy mama, armchair astrologer, yogi, and day trader.
Stephen
An innovative and unconventional thinker trained in neuroscience, massage, yoga, meditation and data analytics with a penchant for transforming ideas from conception into creation. Inspired by virtue in action, Stephen seeks to awaken the creative potential in humanity - one that nourishes peace among peoples, harmony with the natural world, and well-being above profit. He thrives in service of nurturing life, be it by developing equitable systems, inspiring those who aspire towards liberation, supporting creative endeavors, or listening deeply and ameliorating suffering.
Nicole
Nicole was born in Long Island, New York, but her northern ancestors would call bullshit at every “Ya’ll” that affronted their Yankee senses. She grew up in a quaint suburb north of Atlanta, Georgia, where she was made to obey one single rule: “Be home by dark.” This was integral to shaping her into a feral, bike riding, tree climbing, abandoned-house-exploring ragamuffin with no regard for authority or Chronos time. Which then informed her adulthood as a dedicated daydreamer and admirer of all things natural, wild and whimsical, for which she captures in nets of words or cameras or songs. For 20 some Chronos years she’s been a freelance writer, photographer, and often the two combined. She now resides in Deepstep, GA with her cookie-monster husband and ever-expanding cat circus.
Luke
Luke is a stay-at-home father of two and married to the Perspective Alchemist. He has spent his days having experiences such as getting a degree in religious studies, completing a year long permaculture apprenticeship, building a house and homestead, raising hogs, and selling humanely raised meat at local farmers market. His current interests include all things rewilding and learning about the numerous ancestral lifeways that people have created together throughout the ages. You can find him strumming a guitar, singing a song, experimenting in the kitchen, or chilling with family and friends.

Disclaimer
As you might have gathered from the Guidestones bios, the Southern Guidestones is not monolithic in nature and the views and opinions expressed by each writer are the sole views and opinions of that author. We are all friends, but none of us feel the need to agree on every detail of what is being said. Where time, consideration, and fun permit, the Guidestones will all be engaging via commenting on each other's post to help elaborate on ideas and provide healthy challenges to growing perspectives.
