Episode 0706: School for Rural Culture and Creativity

What would it be like to integrate the arts into a thriving and sustainable rural community? This is the question that drove my guest today to create the School for Rural Culture and Creativity in Mattfield Green.

I’m talking with Matthew Regier, an artist, homesteader, and co-founder of the School. Our conversation is wide ranging – talking art, religion, rural culture, homesteading, and how all of these things come together in rural communities. 

One of my favorite things to do is talk to someone who has a very different life experience than mine. I learn so much from these conversations. It is always valuable to see the world through someone else’s eyes and by doing that you also learn something about the filter through which how you see the world.

In a lot of ways, Matthew and I couldn’t be any more different from each other, and I really appreciated our conversation because it took me far outside of the filter through which I live day-to-day and gave me a lot to think about.
