Erica Mellon is the Creative Director at Regenerative Rising. Residing in Boulder, Colorado, Erica is a versatile creative activist who is passionate about storytelling, multi-media artistry, gardening, community building, and Rite of Passage Work.
Erica attended Quest University Canada where her self-directed interdisciplinary education was guided by the question, “How can stories reconcile?” and focused on the intersection of documentary film, comparative mythology and Indigenous studies. She is committed to harnessing the power of story to foster a sense of community and unity, and uplift the Regeneration movement.
As a highly skilled storyteller and creative consultant, Erica has a talent for crafting compelling narratives that inspire meaningful conversation and action. Her skills as a writer, filmmaker, photographer, and multimedia artist have allowed her to share stories in a variety of formats – from short films to social media impact campaigns and multi-day marches and events. Notable projects include producing and directing content to support Indigenous elders and wisdom keepers to build a healing house in British Columbia, coordinating a 6-month impact film lab for underrepresented high-school students in Los Angeles with Creative Visions Foundation, and currently assisting Reilly and Seleyn with the creative direction of Regenerative Rising and the Modes of Thought: Foundations in Regeneration curriculum project.
Erica is also a Rite of Passage Guide passionate about combining the healing power of nature and ceremony to help people honor and step through the sacred thresholds of their lives.
