Dr. Marieke Slovin Lewis is a participatory artist, writer, musician, and songwriter. Marieke holds a PhD in Sustainability Education. Her doctoral research focused largely on a concept she called "self-sustainability," the idea that to create sustainability at the global level requires beginning with each individual person. She also focused on the beneficial effects of participatory art for creating opportunities for self-sustainability, co-creating a method of songwriting called Story-to-Song (STS). Through STS, a person is guided through the collaborative, creative process of shaping a story from their lived experience into a song. Marieke has employed the STS method with people from all over the world. Her “Migration Songs” project, writing songs with refugees and asylum seekers in Brussels, Belgium, was shortlisted for the 2021 Amateo Award for Arts Participation Projects in Europe. Her music has been highlighted in several publications and podcasts. In addition to writing music, Marieke is a bird enthusiast and wandering soul. She currently lives in Prescott, Arizona with her husband, husky, and two cats. https://guidingsong.com/
