 Evan McGown is a musician, writer, wilderness educator, and arts facilitator. Whether facilitating edge-pushing experiences in the woods, leading group art creation in urban settings, or engaging in cross-cultural dialogue at a bus stop, his passion remains the same: to conduct orchestras of possibility, connection, and inherent power within himself and others.
Evan studied music at Berklee College in Boston, horticulture at the University of Georgia, and finished his degree through Arizona’s Prescott College with an emphasis in Sustainable Community Development. He worked for four years as a lead instructor and program director for the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, WA where he mentored youth and designed and led workshops for adults. With the school's founder Jon Young and writer Ellen Haas, he co-authored Coyote's Guide to Connecting With Nature, which summarizes the school's nature education methodology. After his immersion in the world of nature, Evan joined forces with the Power of Hope and trained as a lead facilitator and teaching artist for four years.
Evan currently lives outside his hometown of Athens GA, where he continues to study, write, and perform. He travels globally to perform, work with youth, train adults in mentoring and group facilitation, and learn from others about how to best regenerate nature and culture with intelligence and relevance.
