Focused on non-transactional ways of being and living, Nico is the Co-WorldBuilder and DreamWeaver of the liberatory land project, Unshackled Alchemy. Rooted in Black liberation, joy, healing, rest, creativity, and play; they vision and experiment in what it means to live outside of extractive systems.

In addition to land stewardship, Nico is a DJ, collage and watercolor artist, crochet enthusiast, yoga and meditation facilitator, and blossoming herbalist.
