Guerilla Compost
CREATING A healthy CULTURE
for people & Nature
A Little Ditty:
​
Hi!
​
My name is Monica and I like to consider myself a Decompiculturalist. I know that may not sound like the most appealing declaration right off the bat but bear with me. There’s a whole worlds out there that many people hardly ever think about or get the pleasure of seeing into. Lucky for us though, there are signs everywhere once you tune in to them. Strangely enough, for me they involved Fungi, Bacteria, Lichen, Protozoa, Nematodes, and Arthropods, oh my! Through them & my composting experiences, I was introduced to an exciting saga constantly unfurling right beneath our feet! This was my gateway into an intense connection with the cycles of nature and a whole new way of thinking, about myself, the world, life and EVERYTHING.
​
Also, if you haven’t guessed already, I really like challenges. Ever since middle school, I have been embarking on one interesting challenge after another (see more). They always stretch my mind and open my world, forcING me to think in new & different ways that have a lasting impact on my life. Plus, I love setting & meeting goals! Such triumph!​
So what is a passionate nature loving, microbe herding, compost obsessed challenge addict to do? Why, start and run a very small, grass roots organization designed to empower people to form their own connections with the cycles of nature and, of course, to help create a healthy culture, which for me, all started with a compost culture. But, most importantly, I would love to find other people willing to embark on this grand adventure alongside me.

Premise:
Ever get the inkling that there is something wrong? Today we tend to go to doctors and turn to authorities for everything in our lives. But when did we stop listening to ourselves and start blindly following what other people have to say? When did we completely abandon ourselves? Let’s see if we can all take the (metaphorical) red pill together and find a way to unplug from the matrix in order to reclaim our lives! Join us on this extraordinary expedition. Alone we can only achieve so much but together we can transcend past our individual limitations to create something bigger. To recycle an old battlecry:
-
Turn on - to your own power and start being confident and healthy within yourself
-
Tune in - to the cycles of nature and start seeing a different way of life
-
Drop out - of conformity, join the revolution, and lets change the world

Monica in Action:
Recently, Guerilla Compost, which is mostly me - since the other team members are currently finishing their Masters - has decided to stop, take a beat and put our money where our mouth is.
In order to truly heal, we are embarking on a nature challenge! One full, consecutive year devoted to getting a daily dose of #vitaminn (nature) - and learning about instagram by default.
​
Check out our progress on the new instagram account and, at the very least, get some second hand Vitamin N!!!!!!!!!!!!
