Educational journeys & experiences in and about cities, led by Dr. Moebius.
Shift how you think about people, place, power--and your self. WelcomeTerraViva Journeys expands thinking about people, place, power–and self–through walkshops, walking tours, online/in-person courses, consulting and speaking.
TerraViva Journeys founder/president Corinna Moebius, Ph.D. works with people who want to co-create socio-ecologically just and resilient cities and at the same time transform themselves. My workshops, courses and partnerships inspire alternative orientations to where we are and where we want to go, helping individuals, groups and institutions move beyond unsustainable 20th century (b)orders and paradigms.
Explore, learn and practice thinking differently about cities, communities, homes, and other places that matter to our daily lives. Recognize how our perceptions of cities can shape how we think about and relate to ourselves and others. Expand critical global and eco-social awareness, restore attentiveness to land and the web of life, and nurture the stories, creativity and embodied awareness that helps life and communities flourish.
Speaker on Regenerative Tourism at Power of Partnership Stewardship Summit

About Corinna J. Moebius, Ph.D.
I’m a longtime disruptor with a diverse skill set, interdisciplinary knowledge, and a wealth of cross-sector experience. In other words, I’m familiar with innovating from the intersections of theories and practice. As a hybrid cultural anthropologist / urban geographer, seasoned tourism professional, and longtime eco-social entrepreneur, I bring a unique perspective to my teaching, consulting and research.
With expertise in critical/decolonial approaches to tourism, multi-stakeholder public engagement, and creative place-making, my work in consulting, teaching, and eco-social impact spans decades. In addition to holding a Ph.D. in Global & Sociocultural Studies, I have taught college-level courses in person, online and as part of an international multi-city study abroad program.
I am deeply dedicated to fostering inclusive, culturally vibrant and socio-ecologically just communities. My work with activists, nonprofits, foundations, city agencies, and Mayor’s offices has been instrumental in advancing initiatives that prioritize equity, local economies, and sustainable practices. For instance, I directed a countywide civic engagement initiative, authored the “Youth Visions for Stronger Neighborhoods” curriculum for after-school programs nationwide, and served as the equity consultant for a mayor’s task force on racial and ethic equality.
I remain committed to transformative change. Learn more.
